You saved our son!

Our son had a 2nd dui while he was training for his new job in San Diego in June. He had just graduated. He had a prior dui before 21 in BAy Area where we live and was under probation when this happened. We were lost. We were not familiar with SD or did not know anyone there. He returned home the ...next day after he was let out. He also lost his job. We went online and looked for DUI attorneys. As a family, we spoke to 4 or 5 attorneys. Every attorney we spoke to sounded great. However, we decided to go with Mr. Deniz based on the excellent reviews he had. Mr Deniz provided all the possible outcomes over the phone and via emails. He explained his strategy. To be honest, we have not met him till today. Having a second DUI in a span of 2 years is as bad as it can get . We have no regrets. My son's case was resolved on the second court date on Sept 20th. It was the happiest day for us. Mr. Deniz managed to convince the prosecutor - my son received a home detention for 96 hours and community service for 60 hours where we live with 5 years of probation. He managed to get him to do the detention at a Airbnb as we did not know anyone in SD. If not for Mr. Deniz's smart plan , my son would have ended up being in jail and may have had to wear the ankle monitor for a period of time which may have messed up his present job. My son was so lucky or should I say that it was all Mr. Deniz's hard work and strategy that he used in this case to obtain such great results. He kept being in touch throughout the months before the court date asking him to do his classes etc My son owes his life to Mr. Deniz! I don't think that any other attorney would have obtained this results. We are very grateful to him and have no regrets with the choice we made. We have to thank Avvo which really helped us make the decision to hire Mr. Deniz based on all the reviews that others had written. Thank you Mr. Deniz! We hope to meet with you soon and personally thank you for all your hard work with our son's case. We hope others who read this will hire Mr. Deniz as their attorney too!

Grateful to be free today

I had been arrested after driving drunk on the freeway with a BAC of .204 and causing a collision with 2 other vehicles, resulting in injury. I was certain I would be convicted of a felony and spend the next few years of my life in prison. Mr. Deniz listened to my story with a compassionate ear and t...hanked me for opening up to him about the circumstances leading up to arrest. He was able to explain the type of person I am and why I won't likely re-offend in the future to the judge and DA. My case ended up getting resolved during the arraignment phase with a misdemeanor charge and very light conditions of probation. I am grateful to Mr. Deniz to helping me through this incredibly emotional time in my life and getting a resolution I could not have hoped for had I hired another attorney.

We have a sign in our office that reads: "One mistake does not define you." This is a guiding principal in our office, and we work hard to demonstrate to the prosecution that our clients are human beings and that this mistake does not and should not define them. Thank you for the positive review and for allowing us to represent you. Take care.

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.

Best decision you’ll make following a DUI

After my DUI I was scrambling to find a lawyer in San Diego; on top of all the horrible emotions I was feeling, I ran into a few scam lawyers that only added to my depression. A friend suggested I keep looking & I finally found Deniz Defense and upon contact with their office through their website, s...omeone called me within five minutes who was respectful, thorough and reassuring that I would be taken care of. That didn’t change one bit during the last 5 months that Mark and his team have been advocating for my case. The entire team is proactive, assertive, responsive and helped me get into the military diversion program after months of waiting to have this process complete. I’m so grateful for Alyssa and her persistence to get everything in line for me and without her or the rest of this office, I wouldn’t have had the worst possible thing in my life turn into the best possible outcome. Thank you so much.

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.
