Proactive Responsive Straight Shooter

The past 7.5 months have been a roller coaster of emotions for me. The day after my arrest in late September I immediately began searching for a defense attorney to help me out with my DUI. Looked and consulted with several attorneys who were charging as much as $4500-$4600. However, after looking at... google, yelp and reviews on avvo I came across Mr. Mark Deniz and I read about his experience working as a DUI prosecutor, the great results his past clients had shared and figured I’d give him a call. Within an hour of sending an email I receive a call from him. It was a Monday morning and he gave me a call back after his morning court appearance to give me a free consultation. I told him about what happened the night of my arrest and he gave me his honest feedback as far as possible outcomes. He also informed me of his fair and affordable rate of $3500, which I could break up into monthly payments over 6 months. During the last 7.5 months Mr. Deniz has checked in on me on a monthly basis always keeping me posted always keeping it real not sugar coating anything. It would give me peace of mind knowing I’m not by myself and that he was there to help me during the stressful times. At the end of the day Mr. Deniz got me a more than fair result that I am so thankful and appreciative to him for getting. I highly suggest Mr. Deniz if you’re currently in the same predicament as I once was. In my career profession I work with a lot of attorneys and I know first hand some attorneys you won’t hear from for months or until a day or two before your hearing. Mr. Deniz is the attorney opposite of that. He’s proactive in staying in touch and always reached out to me first on a monthly basis. I will vouch for Mr. Deniz anytime just like how he vouched for me and my character in my case. THANK YOU SO MUCH

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.

Best Defense Lawyer in San Diego

In 2017, I was involved in a collision and was facing two felony charges with driving under the influence causing injury. I had lost all hope in my life. I did some online research to find the best attorney who could get me out of this mess. I called Mark and he reassured me everything would turn out... ok and I was in good hands. In 2018, Mark was able to get me a misdemeanor DUI with 3 months house arrest and 5 year probation. This was the best case scenario for my case. I was able to avoid jail time and a felony. Forward 3 years later, I hired Mark again to have my probation terminated and case expunged. Which he handled flawlessly. I can’t thank you enough, Mark I made a mistake in my life and you helped me get a second chance and regain hope for my future. Thank you.

Greatest Lawyer of All Time

Mark Deniz is one of the finest people I have ever met. Although I would never repeat the circumstances that brought about our meeting, I am quite grateful that he came into my life when I got into trouble. He worked continually on my case for the several months leading up to my court date, and pro...vided frequent updates to me. He was scrupulously honest with me, yet still was able to address my fears in such a way that I felt a sense of security knowing that he was in my corner. At the worst time in my life, when I was questioning my own character, faced with losing my family, and grasping for ways to find a meaningful purpose, Mark was my rock. He is an incredibly skilled attorney. More than that, he is an incredibly kind and fair person. He diligently worked on my behalf, throughout the entire process. We started with a very grim prognosis and through his perseverance, the outcome was far better than I could have imagined. After many months of angst, intense shame and inward reflection, I have a renewed sense of purpose and the ability to go forward and do good in the world. Mark gave me that opportunity. On my day in court, not only was he very attentive to me and made sure I understood the process, he was also "putting out fires" and assisting his other clients. That's how you can rest assured he will give you his all as your lawyer. I can't say enough good things about this man; he is an amazing attorney and a remarkable person.

Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, you are the reason I moved from the prosecution to the defense side. I saw everyday folks face a brutal and often unfair system and get the short end of the stick. We made sure to squeeze everything that could. When someone signs with the firm, I truly work for the best possible outcome. We have an approach that works when our clients jump in and become part of the team by being proactive. I was very happy that all of it came together. Have a great 2021.

Senior Retired Military Officer

I cannot say enough superlative things about Mark Deniz, his staff, and the expert and compassionate support he provided me during one of the darkest days of my life. After my DUI, I was at a complete loss of what to do until my friend recommended Mr. Deniz. Mark and his staff immediately met me and ...charted a course that provided me and my family hope. Mark guided me through the legalities of pursuing the Military Diversion Program with great success. I have never felt more at peace knowing that Mark had my best interest in mind, not only legally but personally. For a program that normally requires 18 months, the court dismissed my case entirely after just shy of 12 months, due to the expert counsel of Mr. Deniz and his staff. I am beyond blessed and grateful for Mr. Deniz and his staff. His expert advice and compassion, coupled with his low pricing, saved me and my family. I am forever in your debt. Thank you again.

Fantastic attorney for federal DUI

I hired Mr. Deniz after being charged with DUI at one of the gates of Camp Pendleton. It was a very confusing and scary experience, as I had no idea what to expect with the case being handled by the US District Court, since it was a federal case. I looked for lawyers on this site and ended up choosin...g Mr. Deniz. With very fair pricing and glowing reviews, he seemed like the best option. Looking back, I am very grateful I chose him. I don’t believe I could have achieved the outcome I got with anyone else for his price. Mr. Deniz put my mind at ease right at the first phone call, and we began working proactively together to achieve the best outcome. He did not sugar coat my situation or promise any outcomes, but he said he would do his best for me and he absolutely did. After a little back and forth with the prosecution, Mr. Deniz was able to get the case dismissed as long as I completed some tasks laid out by the prosecution. I did not believe this outcome was possible for me, but Mr. Deniz made it happen. I urge anyone who is currently facing a DUI in federal court to contact Mr. Deniz. He is a fantastic lawyer who works well within the federal courts. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with that unique situation.
