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.

Great Results, Great Lawyer, Great Price!

For my DUI case I initially felt very helpless, like there was nothing I could do to better my situation and thought I should just go with a public defender and accept whatever outcome there was. The burden of it all was extremely taxing on my psychological health. Although it was my first offense I ...blew a .17 and was looking at some harsh punishment for it. After consulting a few lawyers Mark was easily the best choice and most reasonably priced. He made me feel secure and was very upfront with me about what he could do for me from the get-go. He ended up going above and beyond what I had hoped for and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my case. He handles all of the messy paperwork for the DMV and court dates for you. He used to be a prosecutor for many years before switching to defense attorney so he knows how each side works which is a huge advantage. I was looking at extremely high fines, community service, at least 45 days with an ankle bracelet, an interlock on my car, and at least 6 months in a DUI program. Mark met with the prosecution quite a few times and negotiated on my behalf for only 3 months in a DUI program and reduced fines. Because of him I saved so much money and gained mental clarity knowing I was getting the best deal possible. He also works with you as far as payment goes to set up a plan that isn’t unreasonable, which also helps for whatever financial situation you find yourself in. All in all, amazing experience and highly recommend him to anyone fighting a DUI!

I was glad to have been a help.  I left the prosecution side because I thought I can help normal people who get themselves into a pickle.

happy and satisfied

Mark Deniz did an exceptional job on my case. I had a DV case and was initially charge with a misdemeanor. I was FREAKING out as I have never been charged with a crime. I knew I had to get an attorney because honestly I felt I was innocent of all the charges and if convicted my life would be wrecked.... I found Mark off some website and immediately called him. He set up a free 30 min consultation in which I explained my case to him and he offered solutions on how he could help. He broke down the cost in increments, (the package submitted before charges are placed against you, the pretrial and trial.) We never got to the pretrial or trial because he was able to have the DA not press charges against me. I feel extremely satisfied with how Mark handle my case so far. Best of all he didn't charge a ridiculous price, it was fair and well worth it. Thanks Mark for doing an awesome job on my behalf.

No charges better than dismissed charges! 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.

“Masterful Performance”

I thought I was in trouble and was heading into jail for a a week or two at least. I did not want to lose my job or be away from the kids. He came in and took control of the situation. I felt the case was always being looked on and there was constant progress. I was glad to be his client and was ...able to get this behind me. He worked with me on payments. I felt very satisfied and would refer him to other people if they get in a jam.

A Blessing To Work With!!!

So My girlfriend and I moved to California from Ohio a few months ago. We are in our early 20s and have No family or fallback within 2,000 miles. One night we had gotten into a little arguement in the case where my girlfriend hit me in the head and the cops were called. She was arrested and facing a ...Felony. Even though I had only intended to scare her with the police.. they moved forward with charges. Long story short, We thought our adventure was over. We figured we would owe so much in lawyer fees, courth fees, bail bonds and more that we would simply lose our place and have to go back to Ohio. It was a dark time for us. I had googled for a Lawyer in my area the next day. It was Saturday evening and the first 10 didnt answer. Luckily, Mark was only 2 rings away. I explained the situation and we met the next day. Within a week, Everything was dropped! No Court, No Anything... just Vanished! We hoped maybe he could get the charge dropped to a lesser charge.. but did not expect to walk scott free!!! My girlfriend nearly cried as he gave us the good news right before we were going to walk into court. One other thing we are most pleased about is how cool he was with the Lawyer fees. He worked on a payment plan that fit us and let me tell you... lawyers can be expensive. He had every right to charge double for the magic he pulled. 100000 Stars. Give him a try if you want a little peace of mind!!!
