Mark Deniz is a top-notch criminal defense attorney. He is San Diego's best kept secret.

Finding a good lawyer can be a very stressful process. I was in trouble with the law a few months ago and I'm glad I chose Mark Deniz to represent me. From the moment when I first reached out to him regarding my ordeal to the times I was in his office to discuss my case, he always kept me calm, lis...tened attentively and assured me he will fight hard to give me the best outcome. It really helped that Mark was a former prosecutor of San Diego, a very good one at that. His fees are very reasonable. He could have easily charged me 2-3 times more for the case but didn't. In short, Mark aggressively handled my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He basically got rid of the charge that I thought was going to be on my record permanently, which would have been devastating. It gets better: the court fine that was imposed was reduced to the lowest fine. I couldn't be happier that I chose Criminal Defense Attorney Mark Deniz. Thank you very much Mark.

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.

Record Saver

I am 5 starring a bad situation only because Mark Deniz helped me so gracefully out of it. I found Mark in a desperate frenzy, the night before my court date and within five minutes of talking with him, I was breathing easier. He offered his defense for a significantly lower fee than anyone else I c...ontacted in San Diego and proceeded to fight my case down to a dismissal which beat all my expectations. He kept me up to date and informed throughout the process and answered my long list of questions and random phone calls very patiently. Mark really works wonders and his optimism is infectious. I highly recommend Mr. Deniz to anyone in need of legal action/ a lawyer friend.

Best DUI lawyer

I can say that I'm definitely more than satisfied with Mark's services. My boyfriend and I had a DUI situation and since the first day I contacted Mark over the phone I felt relieved. He listens to his clients and is extremely helpful whenever you have questions our doubts, his payment arrangements a...re great for anyone and he is willing to do anything within his reach in order to get the best resolution for his clients. He took care of absolutely everything although our case was a little bit complicated. I can definitely say Mark is THE BEST. I recommend Mark to anyone out there involved in a complicated situation, he is extremely professional and will definitely achieve a successful resolution!

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.

Impeccably Professional and Skillful

After making a series of bad judgements, I found myself stuck in a legal bind with a DUI. While panicking, I sought an acquaintance in the legal field who, while not specializing in criminal law, highly recommended someone who was well respected and reputed to be sought after for his professional wo...rk. After contacting Mr. Mark Deniz, from the outset he aggressively pursed my case, approaching both the DMV and the state with concerted vigor. Importantly, someone who is knowledgeable about the court system, he guided me through the tricky hurdles and pitfalls, while constantly maintaining open communication to inform me of the moving circumstances. In short, he's there for you not only as a legal advocate, but navigating you through at times the deceptively convoluted legal system. Having your best interests at heart, he's very communicable, reliably accessible when you require answers to confusing questions. Moreover, there's a very human element with which he creates an emphatic repertoire with the client, which you may not necessarily find in other legal representatives. After months of concern, needless to say, Mr. Deniz helped me result in an outcome I can only express was beyond my most optimistic expectation. Words can barely convey my gratitude. I highly recommend you contact Mr. Deniz if you find yourself in legal troubles. Professionally and psychologically (particularly at such testing times), he will be there for you. P.S. If you're thinking of circumstances leading to a trial (though I didn't require such services), there's this glint in his eyes when he relates about his trial experiences, as if he's relishing the scrum awaiting in the courtroom. I'd imagine you want someone impassioned like him to be in your side when tough gets going.
