Could of been DUI #2!

Was pulled over for messing with my GPS. Turned out the police smelled alcohol on me from beers a couple of hours ago! I monitor my alcohol intake very carefully since had a legitimate DUI 9 years ago. So it surprised me when they took me in to blow. Blew a .10 according to their machine. So I s...tarted shopping around for an attorney. Most were overpriced and play the whole "bait and switch", meaning the expierenced guy "consults" your case and you pay a bunch of money, then they send a junior guy to go to court. Not Mark Deniz, after doing careful research on who I would choose, I decided to call Mark. He started working on my case before we even sat down to sign a contract or exchange money. This guy even fought with dmv to try and suspend the suspension. He at least got them to delay it for 2 months while I got my affairs in order. When we sat down to meet at his office, it did not take long for me to realize this guy is a legal genius. I pretty much gave the police all the evidence needed to hit me with the second DUI charge, but Mark managed get the previous DUI thrown out and they ended up treating it like a first time dui. No jail, no community service, 3 months of counseling and a MADD panel. I was facing 90 days in jail, (4 days consecutive) 9 to 18 months of expensive counseling and a hefty fine. Mark had a counter or a motion for everything they threw at me until they finally gave in. I highly recommend Mark and if you are on the fence, Mark can help you!

Thank you for the kind words. When I was a prosecutor I knew good people were coming into the process seeking fairness. The punishment did not always fit the act. It takes hard work, communication with the prosecution/judge, as well as having sound legal arguments. I am glad to have the pleasure of advocating on your behalf.

A Job that resulted beyond my expectations

Mark Deniz did an exceptional job in representing me and my DUI case. Considering the substantial case details that were brought against me, Mark was able to decrease the charge to a much lesser charge of Wet Reckless. With no license suspension, minimum classes, and no community service, Mark went a...bove and beyond what I expected as an outcome for my case. Marks proactive approach also ensures that every aspect of your case will be ready for defense weeks before your court date. I would definitely recommend mark to my friends and family.

Why I Choose Mark Deniz

When searching through DUI Lawyer's I spoke with 7 potential lawyers. I choose Mark for 2 reasons: - First, he offered great advice for free over the phone that would help my case regardless of if I choose him or not. -Second, (most important to me) he didn't sugar coat anything. He told me exact...ly what the worst case outcome could be. This put me at ease because I understood what to expect and wasn't blindsided by anything. Looking back at the case, I am glad I had Mark in my corner. He was aggressive and fought to get me the best possible outcome. He was reliable and easy to contact. That doesn't mean he answered every call but he did get back to me before the day was over. Marks insights and knowledge about DUI defense is likely so strong from his time as a prosecutor. He knows his stuff in and out. He has good relationships with the Judges and Prosecutors that are likely to be handling YOUR case! If I had known these things about him before I wouldn't have talked to 6 other lawyers. End Result: I had a BAC .13, got a wet reckless with no stipulations, and the DMV took my license for 4 months. ( I got it back after 1 month on work related permit but extended the 4 month to 6) In short, if you need DUI help pick Mark Deniz! He is honest, hard-working, and knows people. He took my .13 to a wet reckless with no stipulations (court didn't take my license, no community service, etc).

DUI

As I was headed home on a Sunday night, I was pulled over for speeding. However, I had more than a few drinks and was "OK" to drive but after the officer conducted the FST's on me, I knew it was over. I was booked in jail for suspicion of DUI and my BAC was literally twice the legal limit. I walked o...ut the next day completely lost and knew everything was about to pour down on me(e.g court, dmv, insurance, job). I immediately contacted numerous DUI lawyers and didn't feel the "spark" to begin with during the conversation. A friend of mine was going through the same situation and recommended that I give Mark a call. Next day, I called Mark and explained my situation and instantly felt that this was the "GUY" I can trust . Mark was very informative and always keeping me up to date on the progress and walked me through step by step. Whether it be a simple question(s) or just a follow-up, he was there to answer all my questions. All the nervousness, anxiety, panicking and confusion I was going through, Mark made everything seem like a walk through the park. As the end result of my first offense DUI, I was satisfied with the outcome! whew! Thanks to Mark and his years of professional experience, I can say that I made it out alive!

Case Resolved

Mark Deniz, in short, is incredible. He was the first lawyer I spoke with a week after my suspicion of driving under the influence arrest, in which an accident was involved. I have never been "in trouble" before and I was scared, anxious, filled with worry and questions and lacking confidence that... anything could be done. Mark assured me he could do all he could to get me a fair and great resolution to my case. He aggressively and respectfully demanded all of my test results and evidentiary information - which he got in a timely fashion. He relayed information and options to me as they were received to him. He utilized his years of experience and relationships in the legal field to get me an amazing deal. I never felt "out of the loop" - which is very important to me. His follow-up is consistent and detailed. Mark Deniz handled my questions, concerns and anxiousness professionally. I am more than pleased with my stellar representation and I can not recommend him enough. It pleases me to know that there are lawyers like this in practice. He was the first, and last lawyer I consulted with (I signed retainer documents within an hour of speaking to him - I trusted him already). I hope to never have to use him again, because I will keep myself out of trouble, but if there ever is someone who finds themselves needing a lawyer, I encourage you to call Mark Deniz - you will not regret it. Thanks, Mark! You're a class act and a real professional. You should be proud of yourself.
