As for my case, I was facing a second DUI conviction. I was initially pulled over because I was accused of honking the horn illegally and then driving at an unsafe speed for conditions. I had no idea I was going to be questioned for alcohol because I drank the night before, slept at a friend's house,... then started driving home in the morning. Well, I failed the breathalyzer and got 0.09. Went to the station and got 0.07. This is supposedly a very bad scenario because the DA can easily argue I was even higher at the time I honked my horn and sped. I went straight to AVVO and found Mark to have a perfect score of 10, which was the determining factor for me in obtaining his representation. He got back to me right away and was very informative in our initial consult. I just knew he was the guy to hire. Throughout the process, he was very honest, gave realistic possibilities, and really did his magic in the courthouses as well as the DMV hearings. Jumping to the outcome, my charge got reduced to a wet reckless, which is supposedly very rare for 2nd time offenders. Not only did that reduce some of the penalties, I did not even get my license suspended! It was an unbelievable outcome! Let me also state how well he handled my DMV hearing that I did not face a single day of driving privilege suspension during the whole process. I had so much to lose from this DUI charge, but now I feel like I can regain control of my life. If you are facing a DUI charge in Santa Clara County, you are in for a rough ride because you may be facing one of the toughest DUI prosecutions known to have very little leniency. However, don't give up! If you're even thinking about hiring a lawyer, trust the AVVO score! Everyone's situation is different so there can't be any promises, but Mark will definitely give you the best outcome for your case because he actually cares. He handles numerous cases but he never hesitates to give you his full attention. Furthermore, he has so much experience with the Santa Clara County court system, his resources within the system is so invaluable. That is the magic I'm talking about. I cannot stress the importance of that. You may second guess whether or not you hired the right guy with other lawyers, but you won't with Mark. Thanks for everything, Mark!

A few months ago I wrote a review for Attorney Mark Blair on what an excellent job he did on my DUI case and what amazing results he obtained. He not only did a great job in court for me by getting the Best Possible Outcome for my case... but he also did a great job of Following Up on things afterwar...ds. He helped me get my sentance of doing "Straight Time" switched to house arrest on the Electronic Monitoring Program (EMP). This was a huge thing for me because it saved me the horror and humiliation of doing Jail time ... and allowed me to continue to work and move forward on my path of getting my life back on track. He also helped me get things handled with DMV so that I could get my license back as soon as possible. And here is the kicker ... he did it all free of charge. This was on top of the Great Deal he gave me initially on the Fee for his services. I can say with absolute conviction ... he is not only the Best Attorney ...especially with DUI cases ... but he is also the Most Reasonable when it comes to the legal fees he charges. He and his Staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive to your needs. Furthermore ... he is not only an awesome attorney... but a really nice guy. I can't imagine anyone getting a “better shake” from an attorney ... unless they went with a Public Defender...! And you would never get his kind of experience by going that route. I would be happy to recommend Mark Blair to anyone needing legal counsel... and would be open to speak with anyone considering using him as their Attorney. Sincerely, MF

I was scared to death. I got a DUI and recieved all this mail about how we are the best (DUI Attorney) Google them and you will see like I did that Mark is the best. Hoped for the best and received it.. He put me at ease during the court date, even tried to make me laugh. I did later, after ever...thing turned out OK. If you need a GOOD attorney he is the one.

I was facing my second dui with a BAC of .09 with a possible refusal charge in addition. Mark was able to get me the minimum sentence for a 2nd dui charge, no refusal charge, and reduced fines. The judge was even surprised at how lenient my sentence was. My only complaint would have to be that I som...etimes felt when we spoke over the phone that he was confused about the details of my case and often mistaked details with other cases he was working. He was very easy to get a hold of when I had any questions and responded to emails/phone calls very promptly. I met with a handful of other lawyers regarding my case and Mark definitely was the most knowledgable of Dui's. I would definitely recommend Mark Blair to anyone facing a DUI!

A little over 4 years ago a received a DUI in Santa Clara County … which is very strict on DUI’s. It was my second within ten years… so I was very worried about what the possible outcome would be. I asked around and did some research on DUI Attorneys. I was told by several people that Mark Blair was... the best… but I got schmoozed by another Attorney that said he was” The Best”…and promised that he would get My case dismissed or at the very least reduced to a lesser charge. Since my Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) was very low … right at .08% …as determined by a Breathalyzer Test…and the reason for the traffic stop was bogus… and I had two witnesses… I believed him. When I spoke to Mark Blair he was less optimistic and more realistic … So I decided to go with the other attorney who was three times more expensive than Mark Blair on his Initial retainer fee. Since I was making a lot of money at the time … and wanted to beat the DUI charge and not just reduce it… I thought it would be worth it. I couldn’t have been more wrong in my decision …! My Attorney dragged out the case for 14 months … and blew way over the initial retainer fee. I came to find out soon thereafter that he was charging by the hour … (for everything…!) and not a flat fee for all services up to the time it went to trial … if that happened… like Mark Blair does. In the end … after spending over $19,000 dollars on just attorney … I didn’t get anything dropped or reduced to a lesser charge. Although my sentence was not excessive (9 days of WWP) … I was charged with a 2nd DUI and also lost the DMV hearing and received a 1 year suspension of my driving privileges and 3 years probation. I was devastated by the whole experience and by the financial impact it had on me. During the whole 14 month duration of my DUI case I kept in touch with Mark Blair who gave me not only strait forward advice but also support and was very sympathetic with my plight. We kept in touch occasionally even after my case had been resolved. During that time I sent him several referrals whenever someone I knew got arrested and charged with a DUI. I was always pleased with the service he provided and outcomes of the cases … as were the people I referred. A little over 2 months ago I was arrested for another DUI … I was just barely finishing up all of the consequences from my last DUI and still on probation and My Suspension of my driving privileges had also not been lifted as I thought it had because of an oversight by DMV. My Blood Alcohol Level was also high at .19%... I was extremely afraid of what the consequences would be and rightfully so … I called Mark Blair and told him what had happened. He was sympathetic … and because of what I had been through the last time… and because my Financial Situation had changed for the worse… he gave me a great deal on his services… and I retained him immediately. He also helped to ease my stress by giving me an honest and accurate estimate of what the possible consequences would be. Sure enough he took care of everything with The Court Case and DMV Hearing …and advised me of what to do on my own (AA Meetings, Alcohol treatment Programs, etc.)to get the best possible outcome for my case. I followed his advice to the letter and beyond and it really paid off. I received the minimum sentence possible … which was almost exactly as he had predicted after reading the police report and charges filed against me. He also had the whole matter resolved in a little over 2 months and I was very relieved not to have it hanging over my head anymore. I would highly recommend Attorney Mark Blair to anyone arrested for a DUI charge. It’s not often in Life you can get the Best Service for the Best Price. Mark Blair deals with a high volume of cases … instead of exploiting the few unlucky clients that come their way … like many attorneys do. I would be happy to be contacted by anyone who has questions about Attorney Mark Blair.
