If you are facing a DUI Call Mark Blair!

I would highly recommend Attorney Mark Blair!! From our 1st phone call he has been kind, very knowledgeable and able to explain the law, procedures, & protocol with exemplary skill. He's always keeping me informed, and recommends the best advice. I had never had a DUI before, But he & his staff ...have held my hand and guided me wisely so far. He was able to bring my DUI down to a Wet and Reckless in court. We still have the hearing with the DMV coming soon, and I have no doubt he will do his best to help me attain a restricted drivers license verses any hard suspension as my business requires me to drive and i would face severe financial challenges and possible loss of clients if a Hard suspension is issued. The Bottom Line is if you are facing a DUI Call Mark Blair! I did interview several other attorneys and Mark was the most knowledgeable and had the best "bedside" Manor.

Outstanding Lawyer

I would highly recommend Mark Blair as a DUI Attorney. He handled my case with ease and kept me informed at all times. He was honest at all times and did not over promise anything to me, which I appreciated. He was available when I needed him and spent lot of time on the phone with me answering any q...uestions I had regarding my case. His years of experience show through his work and successful results. He was able to reduce my charge to a wet/reckless when my BAC would have pointed to a DUI. Not only was I impressed with Mark but with his assistant David as well. David was always available to assist me and handled a lot of details with the DMV and insurance that would have been time consuming and tedious. He was also extremely knowledgeable about my case and he followed through with every request I had. If you have been arrested for a DUI I would absolutely call Mark Blair. He made an unfortunate situation much more enjoyable.

2nd DUI charge reduced to wet reckless! There's a reason why he has a perfect 10 score on AVVO, which is not to be overlooked!

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!

Above and Beyond...

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

thankful

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.
