I was pulled over by the CHP for speeding 20 MPH over the legal limit. After making way too many honest remarks about my drinking habits and refusing to blow into the field sobriety test device, I was arrested and brought to hell, also known as Santa Rita jail, where I blew a BAC of .12 When the ...bombardment of attorney letters arrived in the mail, Mark Blair stood out from the rest. I appreciated the amount of detailed information he provided in his brochure and felt that I could trust him from the beginning. After hiring Mark, he immediately sent me a thorough email with all my action items. I was well prepared for court and even received a temporary license in the mail. When I met Mark in person on the morning of my court date, he was so informative and charismatic. Imagine a building full of anxiety, frowns and fear. Now imagine you are standing next to Mark with his light-hearted personality and positive energy. He made the whole experience painless and easy. The most amazing part was that Mark was able to reduce my case from a DUI to a wet reckless! He was genuinely excited for me and when it came time to stand before the judge, he was by my side with a smile. Thank you Mark!

This was my second offense DUI with an accident and a high BAC. Mark was very clear in what I needed to do in order to stay out of jail and minimize sentencing. He communicated clearly and promptly with me and always conveyed realistic possible outcomes of the case. I not only avoided any jail time,... but was able to enroll in a voluntary alcohol monitoring service (SCRAM) in lieu of community service. My fines were that of a first time DUI offense as well, which made hiring Mark a net savings to me in the long run. I was also able to continue driving for 10 months after my arrest.

I'm 24 years old and I received my first DUI in Alameda County. From the beginning he was very knowledgeable about DUIs and its consequences, he definitely comforted me without sugar coating the situation and assured me of what may happen and clearly told me what he would try to do. My BAC was a .20,... not only was it above the .08 but more than double. I came out with a $2000 fine, a 3 month DUI class, 3 year probation, installed the IID in my car for 5 months, no jail time, I was credited one day for the night I was booked and 1 day of the sheriff's program. All of which are either minimum consequences or even less (from my knowledge I should be receiving a 9 month DUI program). I didn't expect to get off clean or with a wet and reckless - need to be practical here. But with the outcome of the situation I couldn't complain and it definitely could've been much worse. Not to mention Mark also helped cut down my 30 day hard suspension with the DMV, to a mere 10 days. As for response time, if Mark wasn't at the office his assistants were always available to help and knew just as much, emails and calls were prompt. I would definitely suggest Mark as your attorney if you have received a DUI.

Following my DUI arrest I was very scared and unsure of what was going to happen to me. I did not know what to do. I found a few attorneys before Mark, but decided to give Mark a chance after reading some of the testimonials and his rating. I called his office and spoke to his assistant. Mark called ...me back in a matter of minutes and took the time to explain to me the situation and what I was facing. I retained him immediately as my lawyer, thank G-d, this turned out to be a great decision. This was my first DUI and I was facing very tough circumstances as there was a refusal to submit to BAC testing as well as speeding, so I was facing harsh DUI penalties and possible jail time. Through the grace of G-d, Mark was able to get the charges reduced down to a wet reckless, 3-month DUI program, minimum fines, and no jail time or community service. Mark was great throughout the entire process laying out his strategy to me and was very comforting and reassuring day of the court hearing. I see why he has such great ratings and tons of great testimonials. Thank you Mark!

Mark was of a great help to me to get my DUI case handled without much of my involvement. He is a very knowledgeable and well informed lawyer and was always prompt in answering any queries/doubts I had. Being an international, I was very nervous at the beginning but with Mark's detailed analysis o...f the case and my options and his plan of actions, I had a sigh of relief and at the end things worked out very well in my favor.
