Mark Sollitt is an excellent DUI defense lawyer, who fights hard for his clients to protect their rights and get the best possible outcome on their case. There are many lawyers that pretend to do DUI defense, and then there are lawyers who make a point to keep themselves educated on the law, science, and cutting edge techniques of DUI Defense. Mark Sollit is definately in the latter category. I highly recommend Mark if you are in need of a DUI Defense attorney.
Manny Daskal, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 4, 2013

I have known Mark over the years from all the California DUI Lawyers Assoc. seminars and events he attends. Because he is continually raising his level of expertise, his clients benefit from this.

Joshua Dale, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 19, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse Mark Sollitt and recommend you seek him out for your Central Valley and Sacramento Area criminal defense. He handles more than just DUI. Put him in your list of lawyers to see about your case.
Donald Drewry, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 21, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer because he is one of the few lawyers in his area that is willing to take a case to trial. He understands trial because he use to be a police officer. Police Officers in DUI cases always say that the person failed the field sobriety tests, and Mark knows that is not true from his personal experience in administering hundreds of them to people. That is why he knows how to effectively cross-examine the police and bring out the mistakes to get his clients acquitted at trial. If you have been arrested in the Stockton, California area, Scott is the lawyer you not only want but need if you want to win your case. So, don't hesitate, call him for an appointment to hire him.
