A Lawyer Who Truly Cares

Mark truly cares about his clients. I unfortunately found myself in the situation where I had gotten a DUI. I frantically searched for DUI lawyers in San Diego and I called one lawyer before Mark, but I didn't feel good about it. Then, I found Mark's Avvo page. I went to his website where I filled ou...t the contact form and Mark personally called me back within 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it! I have never had to hire a lawyer before so I didn't know what I was in for, but Mark completely exceeded my expectations. The circumstances surrounding my DUI were difficult and Mark spent a countless amount of time advocating for me and my outcome. I am still about 3 weeks out from my court sentencing, but I just had my DMV sentencing and it was SO much better than I would have expected. I thought I was looking at a year with a suspended license, but Mark was able to get 4 months suspended or 6 months restricted (where I can drive to and from work)- my choice! If you are reading this and have found yourself in the same situation with a DUI, don't think twice. Hire Mark Deniz. The reviews speak volumes for themselves. Thank you again, Mark.

Thank you for the kind words. You are a perfect example of someone that every person in the firm gets into this business in the first place....which is to help people.

Don’t choose anybody else.

Wow, after getting hit with three charges I thought my life would be ruined. Mark changed all of that, reassured I would make it through and made sure he kept his word. Mark is great, after my case was resolved I never considered hiring anybody else. A good man and an even better lawyer. Thank you Ma...rk, for all that you have done.

Thank you for the kind words. Communication is key for us. I know people have a cloud over their head when they are going through the case. I work hard to keep the trust people give me.

Doesn't sugarcoat, but cares, and delivers results!

Mark Deniz was available quite quickly for a consultation and, while he was rather direct with me about the fact that the circumstances of my case were not great, he gave me great advice for how to be proactive right away and I knew he would be a great advocate for me. He was working on my case withi...n 30 minutes of receiving the signed retainer form, and I took that as an excellent sign. There is sparse communication as he works on your case, but he was great about checking in to let me know the latest, so I felt secure. He took pains to learn a lot about me, my circumstances, and what led to this unfortunate experience in my life, and was very sincere with me in our meetings and communication. He fought quite hard for me and delivered amazing results - negotiating down fines and working toward leniency from the court. He negotiated what I consider to be a truly best case scenario for me, and I know I could not have done it on my own. Mark is a great guy to have in your corner, he cares, and he listens and understands - pretty rare for anyone, I think, let alone a lawyer! While I plan to never work with him again of course, I'm so pleased I did in this instance.

A big part of being a good advocate is the ability to get a client's story. I was able to hear a story that gave context to what was going on. This big picture approach is one way you can show the intent of a person (or lack thereof). I narrow my practice with work with quality people as much as I can. This case is an example of working with someone you want to go fight for. Thank you for the kind words.

A Great Relief

Mark was able to help me throughout the court process for an outstanding warrant for a DUI. He was kind and never made me feel pressured or anxious, like when I'd attempted to deal with Public Defenders. I couldn't recommend him more, his fee was incredibly fair and he took all the worry off my shoul...ders. A really great guy that I'll always trust to represent my matters.

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.
