Criminal Case: Domestic Violence

2 October 2017, I looked in Yelp, Google, and Avvo website for the best Criminal Lawyer in San Diego. I found so many Lawyers; I read all of their reviews and background. I didn’t know who to go with and who will fight for my innocence, until I picked Mark Deniz because he has the best reviews and my... gut was telling me something about him. When I called Mark Deniz, he listened to my situation and he explained everything with detail. He is a professional, great listener, knowledgeable, and personable. I choose Mark Deniz because of his experience, knowledge, and he knows the procedures of the courts in San Diego because he was a prosecutor. Reading his background than I knew I needed to hired him, and I knew he will fight for me. I was being charged with a felony because of a Domestic Violence for an argument I had with my wife. The Police Officer charged me with a felony because I was seen as the aggressor. The Police Officer said, “In every call we receive for domestic violence, we always take someone”. Well that someone is me, and not the woman. Imaging how I felt when I was taking into custody, and viewed as an aggressor by the Police Officer after he saw my spouse hit me. My bail was higher than my spouse, I felt like my world ended because no one will believe a female hit a male. Police Officer didn’t believe me and took into custody. I didn’t know what to do because being charged a felony for a DV is not good for my career and future. Talking to Mark Deniz, he explained my situation and that he will fight for me to the end. It gave me comfort, but I was worried of the outcome even though Mark kept saying he will fight for me to the end. As time was getting close to court date in the middle of October 2017 my mind was going everywhere. Mark went to court in my behalf. I was home counting minutes and hours wondering the results. I thought by going to court I can explain my side, but Mark said he was going to take care of it, and he did. Mark called me to tell me I was not charged with anything, and he took care of everything. I had a big relief, and I was speechless, and didn’t know how to thank Mark. Thank GOD there are people like Mark Deniz who will clear things out and fight for innocence of people. Police Officers make their own judgment of what happened without being present. Mark Deniz and his assistant are professional, helpful, and ready to answer any questions. I am very happy for the job that Mark Deniz did, and he is very proactive. I highly recommend Mark Deniz to fight for you. He is a professional, experienced, knows the procedures of the courts, proactive, and detail with his clients. Very Respectfully, Raul

I narrow my practice with work with quality people as much as I can.  This case is an example of working with someone you want to go fight for.  Thank you for the kind words.

Delivers on what he says

I was in a bad spot for a poor decision I made. Mark and his staff were able to get half of my charges dropped and save me from what most likely was going to be a severe judgement. He's a busy guy but he delivers on his word. Couldn't be more pleased with my outcome! I highly recommend!

Excellent

Mark is an excellent attorney. He really knows what he is doing. He worked with me through my case, and helped me understand what his plan was. I was very confident going in with Mark because of his great reputation; however, I am even more pleased with the results. He was able to have my charges low...ered significantly. In fact, they might be dropped completely which is what seems like the results will be. Mark created a strong defense, and made it clear that he would prove that we were in the right. If you need someone to fight for/with you to prove that you are innocent, Mark is your guy. Thank you Mark!

You are a benefit to the community.  You were easy to come in an advocate for.  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.

Our son was arrested for a DUI

Our son got a DUI and spent the night in jail. My brother recommended Mark Deniz because he was a huge help to him when this happened to him. This could happen to anyone and is an eye opening experience to all. Mark was clear and very fair. He made sure our son knew exactly when/what needed to b...e done and/scheduled per the terms of his case. Mark helped our son get the best resolution possible in a not so great situation. Thank you Mark.

Exceptional lawyer

Mark Deniz was amazing and helped me navigate through my case step by step from beginning until the end ensuring I received the minimum charge. When a lawyer answers their phone at 7:00 am on the weekend, you know he is going to be readily available to you throughout your case and he was exactly that...!

Thank you for the kind words.  Communication is key for us.  I know people have a cloud over their head when they are going through the case.  I work hard to keep the trust people give me.
