I contracted Mark Deniz to handle my DUI after reading through all of his positive reviews on his website, Avvo and Google. And believe me they are all true. I am so happy that I trusted him with my case. Not only did he work diligently in my best interest but he kept me informed and fought my DUI... as if I were a member of his family or a close friend. There were several times when he was able to speak to me on short notice and I know that he worked hard to make himself available to talk to me in person and answer my questions when I was feeling confused or nervous about possible outcomes. Going in to the DUI prosecutorial process I wasn’t very optimistic. I had a previous DUI in 2000 with a refusal and this time around involved a very high blood alcohol level, a hit and run and another refusal. I was looking at automatic jail time, house arrest, an ankle bracelet and well who knows? But Mark was able use his expertise and experience to get me the best possible outcome. The refusal and the hit and run were dismissed. I received no jail time, no house arrest, a breath monitoring system instead of the dreaded ankle monitor and minimal community service considering all the circumstances. He can’t work miracles, but he can make you feel like he does. If you are reading this review because you are considering hiring Mark Deniz to handle your DUI case, stop reading now and call him. And don’t be surprised if he answers the phone himself. He is a very hands-on attorney who can truly make a difference in your case. Getting arrested and charged with a DUI is a very stressful event that will change your life, when fighting it you want the best attorney on your team and that is Mark Deniz. In his office lobby above the door he has a plaque that reads “One Mistake Doesn’t Define Who You Are”, don’t make not hiring Mark Deniz as your attorney your second mistake.

We initially contacted Mr. Deniz after interviewing several attorneys. We retained him because he was knowledgeable, empathetic and generous with his time. Although our case was difficult and messy, he maintained his calm demeanor. Mr. Deniz connected at a personal level with us. And, honestly, we we...re relieved to have him in our corner the minute we met him. He exudes confidence. His co-counsel, Elisa, was most impressive examining our witness and very composed. We won our case. Would definitely retain him again!

As a father of a SDSU college student living a long distance away one of the worst thing you fear is hearing your child is in trouble with the law and was arrested for DUI. To make matters worse she is under 21 years of age and I live 12 hours away . I contacted Attorney Mark Deniz after a thoroug...h search and within a few hours I got a phone call back directly from him asking how he could help. After discussing the situation with Mark one of the first things he said was he is a parent also and understands that young people make mistakes especially in a college environment. He also said that that there was no need for me to travel to San Diego and he would work directly with my daughter and take care of the legal issue immediately.His sincere empathy for the situation and his desire to minimize the damage and cost for me and my daughter made me hire him immediately. What he did after our initial conversation is why I am actually writing this review. His professional experience and preparation for the case is what actually won me over. He reviewed video and arrest report,asked my daughter questions about the event and never promised anything other than he will study the facts and do the best with the facts given. The bottom line is he helped my daughter get the original DUI dropped not to a wet or even dry reckless which are both misdemeanors but dropped to a driving infraction greatly reducing potential future issues for future job applications and other issues if my daughter is ever asked if she had ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony,. He was very well prepared, argued and fought with facts that the District Attorney removed the original charge. Because Mark was well prepared and presented facts that only a experienced attorney could do we got a result better than expected. He never promised results up front and said he would only do his best.The final result of the case speaks for itself and as highly satisfied parent and client I had to make sure other parents with children know their is an actual attorney out there in the San Diego area who is not only true professional and very competent but actually understands and cares for the family and will do everything to fight for the well being of your child. Without a doubt if an unfortunate DUI/DWI situation ever happens to your child and you need a GREAT lawyer contacting and hiring Mark Deniz would not be a mistake and maybe the best thing you could do for your family member. Sincerely, A Satisfied Parent

As I was headed home on a Sunday night, I was pulled over for speeding. However, I had more than a few drinks and was "OK" to drive but after the officer conducted the FST's on me, I knew it was over. I was booked in jail for suspicion of DUI and my BAC was literally twice the legal limit. I walked o...ut the next day completely lost and knew everything was about to pour down on me(e.g court, dmv, insurance, job). I immediately contacted numerous DUI lawyers and didn't feel the "spark" to begin with during the conversation. A friend of mine was going through the same situation and recommended that I give Mark a call. Next day, I called Mark and explained my situation and instantly felt that this was the "GUY" I can trust . Mark was very informative and always keeping me up to date on the progress and walked me through step by step. Whether it be a simple question(s) or just a follow-up, he was there to answer all my questions. All the nervousness, anxiety, panicking and confusion I was going through, Mark made everything seem like a walk through the park. As the end result of my first offense DUI, I was satisfied with the outcome! whew! Thanks to Mark and his years of professional experience, I can say that I made it out alive!
