One of the best.

Mark Blair is one of the best attorneys you will find. His vast knowledge of the process is extremely reassuring, and the responses from his office to my concerns were same day. I will say that I found myself not having to call Mark's office but twice. This is because Mark had such great attention to... detail in his emails that I was able to read through everything and prepare myself every step of the way. I always felt that Mark had my best interests in mind, and you will too. One of the best things I appreciated about Mark was the level of passion that he has for his clients and the law. Look no further; You won't go wrong with Mark Blair.

Gets the Results You Ask For

I made the biggest mistake of my life and drove after drinking. I got arrested and charged for DUI in Santa Clara County, which is known to impose harsh penalties on DUIs, including first offense DUIs. This was my first run-in with the law, so I knew hiring an attorney would be imperative. I had a... lot of people tell me that hiring one would be useless and I'd only be wasting my money. I'm glad I ignored the naysayers because Mark Blair got me the result that I had desperately hoped for. After consulting with and retaining another DUI lawyer, I immediately lost confidence in her. As soon as I paid her retainer fee, she was slow to respond and difficult to reach. I consulted with Mr. Blair, and after speaking with him at length about my case, I decided to go with him. I'm so glad I did. I told Mr. Blair that my biggest priority was protecting my professional license from discipline, so I needed for him to get my charge reduced to a "wet reckless". This would be no easy feat, as my BAC was over twice the legal limit at 0.16! Not only was I facing a DUI, but a DUI with enhancements because of my excessively high BAC. Well, long story short, Mr. Blair managed to convince the deputy DA to reduce my charge to a wet reckless through a "collateral consequences" review. Yes, I got more days of work through the sheriff's work program, but Mr. Blair did advise me that this would likely happen, as the DA would feel like she was handing me such a big break in offering a reduced charge. I knew I had to accept her offer, as I was very well aware of how difficult it is to obtain a wet reckless in Santa Clara County, especially when one's BAC is over twice the legal limit. From arrest to conviction, this whole process took a little over four months to resolve. I won't lie, this experience has been nothing short of painful, humiliating, expensive, and emotionally exhausting, but I have to say that retaining Mr. Blair gave me just enough peace of mind and hope to get me through this horrid ordeal one day at a time. I feel such relief that this whole mess is behind me now and I can finally move on with my life. If you're in need of a DUI attorney in the Bay Area, especially in Santa Clara County, hire Mark Blair. Listen to his advice and he'll get you the best possible result. Thank you for all your help, Mr. Blair!

2nd Dui dropped to a wet and reckless!

Mr. Blair is the best lawyer to have on your side if you get arrested for a DUI. He will walk you through everything you need to do, give you advice and will always have an honest response. In my particular case I was arrested for a DUI for the second time before I had reached ten years since my firs...t DUI. I was really worried and Mr. Blair was honest with me from the start to what the best outcome would be for me and the worst for me, but he advised me on everything I should do before my court date to make sure I got the best outcome. I cannot stress this enough you should listen and take his advice with action it really helps, he is trying to win for you. All in all he helped me reduce my 2nd dui to a wet and reckless! After the court date he kept up with my dmv hearing and kept me posted about everything. He truly is the best.

Highly recommended DUI lawyer

My friend recommended Mr. Mark Blair during my search for my DUI case. I have called few lawyers from avvo.com, and also had phone consultations, but I decided to hire Mr. Mark Blair to represent my case. As a woman, who never had a court experience, I was very nervous and most importantly, I wan...ted to work with a lawyer that who sincerely understood and cared about your situation. As from the first phone conversation, I felt very strong and gained trust in Mr. Mark Blair for my case. Throughout the case process, he guided me step by step, and explained every details to my case. I knew that I was in good hands, and greatly helped me to ease my tensions during the process of my case. Not only Mr. Mark Blair is an excellent lawyer, his office manager and staffs were absolutely friendly and prompt at all time regarding correspondence. As the result of working with an experienced and excellent lawyer, I had an amazing outcome of my case!!! Thanks to Mr. Mark Blair and he deserves more than five stars!!!

Better result than everyone else in the same court hearing

This was my first arrest for DUI charges. Before and after being retained he was able to describe the process in detail to me. Since the first day he was responsive to emails and phone calls he usually got back to me the same day. I was pleased that it was drop to a wet and reckless with no jail time... or community service. I got the best plea deal out of everyone in my hearing that had to pay double the fine amount, had jail time, and community service. I am very thankful I had found Mark Blair. I spoke to another individual that was also charged with a DUI and to my surprise his plea deal was horrible and he paid his lawyer $1,000 more. Worth every penny what you pay him saves you in fines in the long run. I saved myself about $900 in fines.
