Best Defense Attorney in San Diego

Mark Deniz is awesome. He is very professional, organized, confident and knows his stuff. He was very prompt to provide status updates after my hearings and respond to my emails/phone calls. Mr Deniz was a calming force throughout this very stressful time. I did not have to go to any of my hearings.... He was present at all of my hearings on my behalf until my case was resolved. After my case was resolved, I received clear step-by-step instructions on what the next steps. I am very pleased with the outcome of my hearing. (He was able to reduce my fines, reduce my probation time, and have my conviction expunged after one year. I highly reccomend Mark Deniz to represent your case.

What a great client.  You were easy to work with and advocate for. I always want to ensure you know what is going on every step along the way.   The process itself can be punishment and can be traumatic.  I want the process to be as easy as possible.

you are more than just a number for him

approximately eight months ago I was involved in a car crash (alcohol was involved), I was very nervous because I was not fined, fingerprinted or formally arrested, but I was given a release from custody noticed and the pink paper because they had taken my license away, which meant I was going to fac...e charges for DUI. luckily I didn't hurt anyone. I searched on the web for a good defender and even contacted several over the phone, but I didn't get that sense of security from them. Then, I searched a bit more and saw that Mark Deniz's profile was the top rated DUI defender in the area. I went ahead and gave him a call and from speaking to him for five minutes I felt that I was in good hands and from that moment and forward I wasn't alone. He ensured my driving privileges weren't taken away by scheduling a hearing with DMV. During this whole process I was very nervous, but he always took out of his time to answer all my questions, regardless of how silly they were. He understands you, you know. He asked questions to understand me better and he noticed that I was a service member and asked for all my medical files and asked me about my treatment and what I was going through. He also prepared me for the future by setting me up with the first conviction program classes and the MADD panel and at the same time submitted a request for me to join the military diversion program. After eight long months for the grace of God I was admitted into the diversion program and I am going to continue my treatment under the supervision of the Veteran's Affairs department. This means that I must complete my treatment for alcohol and some other mental problems I have been facing for several years and my case will be dismissed. I will take full advantage of this second chance and be widely successful. I owe it to myself and those that love me. I will forever be grateful to Mark and his team.

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.

Felony DV Cases were not issued - Mark Saved my life

It was one of those unfortunate circumstances that we all have faced or will face at some time, and I was in a panic to look for a lawyer that I was confident in. I know how it feels to have that heavy burden on your mind and the fact that I was not only facing one, BUT two felony DV cases had me in ...such a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions and Mark was there to help me through every step of the way. From the initial phone call all the way to the actual arraignment itself, Mark was there every step of the way. We had several lawyers that we had considered and prayed and picked Mark to help us with my case. He not only calmed me down, but truly listened and felt genuine from the start. He set aside time out of his busy schedule to meet with us as soon as he could to get ahead of the prosecution. This man saved my life and took a huge burden off my shoulders. He truly fought for me to not even get the case heard in court and was very communicative and thorough. His methods are unconventional and his extensive experience from the prosecution's side of the law helps him in this regard. If are faced with almost impossible circumstances and feel like you have no way out, Mark is your guy. Every penny is worth your freedom and he is the best lawyer that money can buy, he also charges a reasonable amount. Best thing about the whole situation is that he TRULY cares about his client's well being and will fight for you to get the best possible outcome. I hope I never need a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I do, Mark will be the first phone call I make. Not only did he help get my two felonies turn into non-issues, he also was concerned about me after the case and wanted to make sure I made the necessary steps to never go down that path again. If you are having a hard time finding a lawyer, trust me, I know how that feels....rest assured Mark will give you the best possible outcome.

5* ALL THE WAY!

As stressful as my case was for me, Mark put me at ease and really helped me understand what I was being charged with, and the best approach to fight it! He was greatly successful in representing me and I went to possibly serving jail time down to paying a fine. I am beyond grateful to have someone l...ike Mark Deniz and his team on my side! I highly recommend him to anyone in need!!

Recommend for everyone.

I recommend Mr. Deniz 100% for anyone. I charged with 5 felones and facing up to 7 yrs. In prison. Mr Deniz and his team worked really hard on my case. Mr. Deniz was very patient with me during my most stressful times and assured me he was working hard to get me the best outcooutcome It took about ...7 months but i was charged with 1 misdemeanor (the lowest class level) no jail time, house arrest, or community service. Everything else was dropped. I am very happy I hired Mr. Deniz and his team. They are good people and they really care for the clients well-being. Also, Mr. Deniz is really afforable. Thank you Mr.Deniz.
