Senior Retired Military Officer

I cannot say enough superlative things about Mark Deniz, his staff, and the expert and compassionate support he provided me during one of the darkest days of my life. After my DUI, I was at a complete loss of what to do until my friend recommended Mr. Deniz. Mark and his staff immediately met me and ...charted a course that provided me and my family hope. Mark guided me through the legalities of pursuing the Military Diversion Program with great success. I have never felt more at peace knowing that Mark had my best interest in mind, not only legally but personally. For a program that normally requires 18 months, the court dismissed my case entirely after just shy of 12 months, due to the expert counsel of Mr. Deniz and his staff. I am beyond blessed and grateful for Mr. Deniz and his staff. His expert advice and compassion, coupled with his low pricing, saved me and my family. I am forever in your debt. Thank you again.

Thank you for your kind words. We know it takes a lot for someone to trust us with their family. We do all we can to keep that trust.

Satisfied custormer

I was arrested for DUI six months ago. I wasn't sure if I wanted to retain an attorney or not. After talking with Mr. Deniz I felt like he could make the process easier and his price was reasonable. I'm so glad that I made that decision. Mr. Deniz and his assistant Melissa really guided me throug...h this whole process. They made an already stressful situation much easier to handle and deal with. I was able to get my temporary license as soon as I was eligible. We finally went to court yesterday and I got the best outcome I could get. Mark was able to get me into a program that I didn't even know was available. This program is basically giving me a chance to bypass a conviction as long as I don't have any more DUI's for the next year. I am so grateful to Mark and his team for working so hard for me. I never thought I could get this result. If you need a DUI lawyer Mark is your guy.

Case Dismissed!

I cant recommend Mark Deniz enough for helping me with my DUI case. DON’T THINK TWICE ON HIRING MARK ESPECIALLY if you are A VET! My case was very convoluted as the DA was trying to deny me my rights as a 1st-time offender VET with VA ratings. Mark from the very beginning was engaged and truly care...d about me personally and the outcome of my case. Lots of back and forth with the courts at all levels and Mark always kept me apprised of what was going on – over 2 yrs until final resolution and DISMISSAL of charges! And through all that he never asked me to pony up more cash for all the time and effort him and his staff spent on my case. I cant thank Mark and his staff enough, especially Alissa for getting me through this ordeal with the best possible outcome! Especially if you are a VET with VA ratings Mark is the expert lawyer in this area he is the guy you need.

Hands down the BEST!!!

Mark represented me for my first and second DUI. In February of 2015 I was involved in a minor accident with a traffic sign and was arrest for DUI. Mark was able to set up the DMV hearing which they said I wasn't driving impaired and I was able to keep my license. Mark handled all the court proceedin...gs and I never had to show face. The outcome was wonderful in that I got a wet reckless instead of a full blown DUI. I received only a small fine and a 6 week DUI program with 3 years court probation. No extended DUI program, no community service. In March of 2017 I was involved in yet another accident but this time with another vehicle. The vehicles were eventually claimed to be totaled and the victim claimed minor injury. Said his shoulder hurt. The arresting officer recommended a felony DUI for this case. So, I have a second arrest while on probation, in an accident driving under the influence, with "injuries" not major. I was in a bad way. I called Mark and was panicking because I was looking at up to 7 years in prison for this mistake. Mark took on my case and was a big help, again. I did all the extra things he requested me to do to show the courts that I'm not a screw up alcoholic. We went to court a few times and finally received a decent offer/ plea that Mark was able to get set up. I received no jail time and 4 months house arrest instead. Plus, a minimal fine. I did receive the felony, but after I complete the 18 month multiple conviction program without getting in any trouble, I will get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor. YAY!!! It all worked out in the end because of Mark and his teams hard work. He is very honest, thorough, professional, great with communicating and answering questions. He knows his way around a courtroom and how to handle the DA and Prosecution. He is very affordable and is willing to work with you financially. I highly recommend him with any and all DUI cases. Thank you very, very much Mark. You are amazing.

Surviving a DUI case in Chula Vista without having to fight it alone and a much more favorable outcome.

Attorney Mark Deniz and staff were the right team for my DUI case. They handled the entire process on my behalf. The staff was very polite and compassionate towards my unfortunate situation. I thought I was going to have to do a lot of the leg work with the justice system and the DMV department, bu...t I did not because they represented me all the way through the process and contacted me when necessary and gave me guidance and information as needed to help me steer the course of the judicial process. Trust me this is an invaluable service! I was facing a 1st time DUI incident with a high BAC level according to the DA. I was afraid of receiving an unjust heavy handed punishment considering I was not even driving or on public roads when the incident occurred. In hindsight, I do feel I could have handled my situation in a much more intelligent and responsible manner but never thought I did get into all this trouble by being observed by some off-duty officers who were just looking out for the public's interest. But because I wasn’t actually driving I felt this made my case one worthy of challenging but needed an experienced attorney who knows how to navigate through the course of the necessary legal steps. I was absolutely clueless as to where to start and what to expect. I hadn’t had any moving infraction in 27 years. Mr. Deniz was able to get me a reduced sentence consisting of a 3 month DUI course on a restricted license, a short run on a daily breathalyzer, and a county fine. No other requirements were imposed on me. I thank God I found my Attorney Mark Deniz. I highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI conviction. I have learned my lesson from this experience and I have vowed to never drink again, even casually or at any special occasion. Alcohol is something that I am more than happy to live without. I now look forward to getting my life back on track, setting new priorities, and living a healthy, long and happy life with my family. Thank you !

A big part of being a good advocate is the ability to get a client's story.  I was able to hear a story that gave context to what was going on.  This big picture approach is one way you can show the intent of a person (or lack thereof).
