Excellent Attorney

Mark did an excellent job with my case. He was well prepared and ready to tear the DA's case wide open. He noticed that they did not call an expert witness to testify that my blood was drawn in a "medically approved manor." However, the judge allowed the DA to re-open his witnesses and sided with the... DA based on the non-professional opinions of a police officer and convicted me. Mark realized on the spot that I had grounds for an appeal and recommended an excellent appeal lawyer. I ended up winning my appeal on the same grounds that Mark had suggested the case be dismissed. He should have won in the first place and was still able to make a good recommendation that allowed for me to be treated justly by the system. I would strongly recommend Mark, he did right by me and knows his stuff!!

Excellent is an Understatement

Getting into legal trouble can be a bewildering and daunting process, especially the initial step of finding a credible lawyer to assess the situation and recommend the appropriate steps to minimize your problems. The main thoughts streaming through my mind during the aftermath were how is my lapse ...in judgment going to affect my career and life going forward. After combing through my network for advice and referrals, I contacted Attorney Mark Blair. To this day I cannot emphasize how happy I am to have found the referral of the Law Office of Mark Blair. Messrs. Mark Blair and his assistant, David, were instrumental in navigating me through the legal system while assuring me of all possible avenues to proceed. These gentlemen were not only consummate professionals, but caring individuals who took the extra step most lawyers I worked with previously had not. They helped me on two separate legal situations, which resulted in life and career saving decisions. I have recommended multiple friends and associates to him. Every one of my referrals raved about Mark’s service and character. If you are reading this review and considering legal representation, I highly encourage you to look no further and contact the Law Office of Mark Blair.

He got my DUI WITH ACCIDENT REDUCED!!!!

I will be perfectly honest with you here...as soon as I got into this mess I searched for a lawyer with the mindset that all lawyers are sharks. Mark Blair wasn't my first choice, and even after meeting with him I had my doubts. However, he communicated sooo much information over the phone and in...-person even before I retained him as my lawyer. This honesty and thorough knowledge on his part convinced me that he would be able to help me. He is incredibly professional in that he keeps you in the loop in regards to the progress of your case. Also, he sticks true to his word, and discusses your case with you with simplicity and without false promises. He told me that the best I could hope for was a reduction of charges to a Wet Reckless. I was facing, at worst, a felony DUI because the other party involved in my high-speed accident claimed personal injury... I don't know how he did it, but he did it. Mark Blair got my charge reduced to a misdemeanor Wet Reckless Driving charge. I recommend Mark Blair a thousand times over for all your DUI defense needs.

Worth the money!

I got my first and only DUI in San Mateo County and after reading many lawyer websites and making many phone calls to various lawyers I decided to retain attorney Mark Blair. Mark had some great information on his website and when I called his office his assistant David answered. David was the only... assistant I spoke with in my many calls to law offices that was able to answer my questions vs. just taking a message. Also, Mark Blair made it a point to call me back the same day as I had called him even though it was in the evening as he was driving home from a day in court. Once retained Mark Blair continued great communications throughout the whole process. Mark kept me informed of what to expect at each step both on the court side and the DMV side. Everything Mark told be to expect is exactly what happened. Mark also recommended that I start the DUI classes prior to my court date, which paid off when the DA tried to get the judge to give me more months of DUI class vs. the 3 months of class I got (the minimum). Mark met me at court before my arraignment explained to me what to expect and then resolved my case that morning in court. He then went with me upstairs to pay my fine and to get signed up for community service. On the DMV side Mark was able to minimize the impact on my license so I did not have to go through the 30 day hard suspension and instead I had a restricted license during the whole DMV penalty period. I highly recommend retaining attorney Mark Blair if you are facing DUI charges!
