Got pulled over and arrested for DUI, and after doing my research, I decided to go with Mark. The best decision I could have ever made. He helped me through the entire process, and gave me reassurance at a difficult time. He got my case resolved better than I could have ever asked for and I am grateful for all of his hard work. If you are looking for an attorney, don't hesitate, use Mark. You will be happy you did.

I was recently in the unfortunate position of requiring legal assistance and was recommended to meet with Mr. Deniz. Throughout the entire process and post-follow up Mr. Deniz and his team were proactive, extremely informative and reassuring through the whole process. As a former prosecutor he eased my discomfort, walked me through the entire case and provided me with a better outcome than I could have hoped for. Also as a current college student his vast expertise came at a very affordable rate. Anyone who has ever heard stereotypes of lawyers has clearly never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Deniz. If you ever find yourself in need of legal assistance I would recommend Mr. Deniz in a heartbeat!

Mark did a great job handling my case, he was very informative about what steps needed to be taken to complete my case. He made the process very simple and hassle free. I highly recommend his services

Getting my second DUI at 21 was very scary and I knew I was in for trouble. I got my first at 18 and the process was very stressful, no help to my first lawyer, who I only met once at my court date. This time I knew I would need a solid lawyer to fight for me. After researching SD DUI lawyers, Mark Deniz stood out. I called him and went over my case and knew this was the man I wanted to represent me. He helped with every step along the way keeping me up to date on everything. 3 months later, my case was resolved no jail time all thanks to Mark. The court wanted at least 90 days in jail and Mark stayed all day to turn it into 34 days house arrest. He did the best job possible on my case and I was so relieved. If I ever need a lawyer again, Mark Deniz is the first person I will call. If you ever get a dui, or need a strong lawyer with reasonable cost, I highly recommend you chose Mark Deniz.

Mark Deniz and his team truly care about their clients. They are not a huge firm where you are just a number. They acknowledge who you are and truly want to have the best outcome for you. Where I work, any mistake can cost you their career. Mark and his team were able to save my career and ensure that my future will be bright again. Thank you Mark and your team, I could not be anymore grateful for what you have done for me.

Mark and his team are professional, efficient, and affordable. Mark was quick to respond whenever I reached out. He took the time to understand the unique nature of my needs, and was willing to adapt to make things work out for the best. I highly recommend Mark's firm when you are in need of legal services.

I cant recommend Mark Deniz enough for helping me with my DUI case. DON’T THINK TWICE ON HIRING MARK ESPECIALLY if you are A VET! My case was very convoluted as the DA was trying to deny me my rights as a 1st-time offender VET with VA ratings. Mark from the very beginning was engaged and I felt he truly cared about me personally and the outcome of my case. Lots of back and forth with the courts at all levels and Mark always kept me apprised of what was going on – over 2 yrs until final resolution and DISMISSAL of charges! And through all that he never asked me to pony up more cash for all the time and effort him and his staff spent on my case. I cant thank Mark and his staff enough, especially Alissa for getting me through this ordeal with the best possible outcome! Especially if you are a VET with VA ratings Mark is the expert lawyer in this area he is the guy you need.

Mark is an outstanding attorney and his staff is top-notch! Mark and his team will work tirelessly on your case to provide you a favorable outcome and they provide the best follow-up with clear, effective communication.

We hired

I was very fortunate to have Mark represent me at court. Having so much on the line, I was very worried and did not know what to do when I found out that I would have to go to court. I was referred to Mark by a family friend, and very soon came to find out that I had made the right decision to appoint him as my attorney. He was very patient, and provided me with details that only an experienced attorney can provide. Having been a prosecutor for years, he knew the ins and outs of the court system, and helped me to take steps right away to allow for the best results. When you are put in a bad situation, you often times go into panic mode, but having a well respected attorney like Mark takes a huge load off your back. I would look to no other than Mark for the best representation and results in court.

My experience with the Law Office of Mark Deniz was absolutely awesome!! I had been charged with a DUI and numerous other charges. To complicate my case even more, I have a commercial drivers license. As all commercial drivers know, all infractions are extremely hard to overcome. Not only did Mark get the charges reduced, he also had the fine reduced to half!! On top of that good news, I received the minimal penalty associated to my DUI. Mark and his staff were timely, their advice was spot on, and all related documents (including DMV) were handled in a timely manner and forwarded to me. I can't say enough about how professional Mark and Alyssa were in the handling of my case, especially with the DMV documents that were required for my employer. I highly recommend and trust Mark for anything legally!!!

Mark Denize is an excellent attorney. He is honest, diligent and gets great results. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, he is great at what he does. Never over promises, but definitely delivered more than we had hoped for. His team will help you all the way. Answers all your questions promptly and clearly states what to expect. I highly recommend Mark and his team. They CAN and will help!

Mark and his team were incredible. They were my guide through a very difficult time in my life. They helped me through every step of the way, and in the end they were able to get the charge reduced to a wet reckless. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. You would think a review like this would mean that I must have paid an arm and a leg. That is absolutely not the case. This law office has incredible prices and payment plans so anyone can get a good defense. ********USE THIS ATTORNEY IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH A DUI.*********

If you're looking for the best, M.Deniz is the attorney for you.

Nothing but good things to say about Mark Deniz and his team! I got in an unfortunate situation where I made bad judgment and I could have potentially ruined my future. Thankfully, I found Mark. He was very reassuring and honest about my case, which gave me confidence. Additionally, with him having experience as a prosecutor, he knows exactly what needs to be done in order to get the best outcome for the defense. He kept in constant communication throughout my case and fortunately, the prosecution didn't even file a charge! I will be recommending Mark to my friends and family. Thanks again Mark!

From the first call Mark was accessible and put me at ease so that I felt much less nervous about the case that I was dealing with. He’s very obviously knowledgeable in his field and quickly resolved my issue with minimal involvement from me. He very clearly laid out what my options were regarding the case and made me feel as though I was in good hands throughout the process. I am happily writing this review after the resolution of my issue due to his skill and professionalism, and would happily choose him to represent me again if I had it to over.

Never got into trouble with the law or anything up until I got arrested for my first DUI. The whole process, the whole experience, was so embarrassing and traumatic. Everything was a first for me on that night. First time getting arrested, first time going to jail, first time spending time in jail, first time calling bail, first time all around basically. It is so easy to think that you are never going to get busted for a DUI but it can happen. After getting out of jail I had to look for a lawyer. I went online and a few names popped up but Mark's law firm had the most favorable rates and reviews. Everyone saying that Mark will do the best for you and always gives it to you straight. I shot him an email about my situation and he was able to get back to me explaining to me what mostly likely could happen and what possible outcomes can come out for me. I really appreciate his attitude and voice. He sounded very reassuring but at the same time he let me know not to expect any crazy to happen. Hope for the best and expect the worst basically. Mark took my case and during the course he always updated me on the situation and made sure that we were on the same page. In the end he was able to resolve my case with the best possible outcomes. I know that the punishments could have been much much worse. I told Mark that all I wanted to do is move on and put this event behind me. That's what I believe what we really connected on is to move forward and never look back. I would recommend anyone to Mark's law firm. Thank you for all the help!

Mark was a complete pleasure to work with. Everything we had set out to be resolved was resolved.

From the moment I met Mark he made me feel at ease. He ensured me that as long as I do my part and be proactive he will get me the best deal possible. He is very trustworthy while at the same time makes you feel like you're in good hands. I was very impressed with the outcome of the case and will definitely use his firm if I ever need representation again. I would recommend Mark to anyone that is in need of an excellent DUI defense lawyer.

Mark is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. Answers phone calls, follows through, very optimistic with excellent results. If you want to avoid jail and get the minimum maybe less, I highly recommend Mark Deniz 100%. Make the call you'll be happy you did. Other lawyers try and make you nervous for some reason or act too busy. Mark is one of kind. Very happy and I will be using him again if I need too. Hopefully not. I don't normally write reviews but this is a must after my experience. Couldn't be any happier. Thanks Mark!!!

All the lawyers here are thirsty. They want to get with a man that walks in those doors

I was stuck in a tricky situation ... I got 2 DUI’s 3 weeks apart. I thought for sure my life was ruined and I needed a lawyer to defend me. I searched around and got in contact with many firms. Then I came across Mark Deniz and his team. They beat out all their competitors in price which was already a plus, then they went and handled everything for me without me ever having to step foot in an actual court room. They were able to get the charges way down and keep me out of jail! I couldn’t have asked for a better result. I highly recommend Mark Deniz and his team of highly professional, and incredibly kind lawyers. They definitely are out there to help the regular folks like you or me. They firmly believe that one mistake, or two in my case, does not define you. I now believe that too.

Best representation in town.
Had a case that was more entrapment, and Mark was able to get the issue dismissed 100%. Recommend Mark as your first call when looking for an attorney! Great to work with, and staff was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. Thanks Mark!!!

If you are having a legal issue, and are in a black hole of questions, and your mind is swirling with terrible "what-if" scenarios that could ruin your hard-earned and successful career, you need to give Mark and his team a call.

The questions you have will be answered quickly, leaving you with hope and confidence. Your life may not suffer a wrecking ball. Mark is the perfect type of defense attorney you hope to find as you read these reviews. With over a decade of prosecution experience, he understands how to breakdown the case, putting you in the best legal position possible. Swift, confident strategy goes far in getting your case headed in the correct direction from Day One.

If you are ever faced with a situation that has the potential to devastate your future, be thankful to have found Mark and have help when you need it most....before anything happens that cannot be undone.

Mark answered my call on a Sunday morning at 5 am! This was the start of amazing representation! From start to the day he fought for what was the best outcome for me at court, he and or his staff kept me informed! I was never in the dark & not once did I feel alone during this process. He sent email after email and met with me when I had any concerns and changed what we had originally thought would be the best to what he learned would be even better for my personal situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of defense representation .

Mark and his team were all very professional and thorough with my case. They were quick to respond to the initial phone call and emails. The emails were detailed on next steps and when I'd expect an update.

I received a DUI several months ago and it was my first. I found Mr. Deniz online through a search and noted the good reviews. I called him and he spoke with me on the phone for a good while and immediately put me at ease. He has a lot of experience and knows what he is doing. He immediately sent me an email detailing exactly what he needed from me and honestly, most of this was taken care of with very little required from me. Once the ball started rolling, Mr. Deniz was like a prize fighter doing what he does best while I was on the side lines smiling. I liked the fact that he was a former prosecutor because he obviously knows what they are thinking and what is the standard procedures in DUI's. I never felt judged and always was treated with the utmost respect. Ultimately Mr. Deniz went above and beyond for me and I achieved a greater outcome than I thought possible. When I met with him, I was so impressed by his kindness, intellect and ability to make things easy to understand. He never ever talks down and has a great positive attitude without being naive. Overall, I will enthusiastically recommend him to anyone I know in a similar circumstance!

Hi - I highly recommend Mark Deniz to represent you for your DUI offenses. Mark was very knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, informative and produces the best results for his clients. We are speaking from first hand experience. This difficult and complicated process was broken down step by step and therefore took the panic and worry out of the experience. Recommend without hesitation.

I was extremely nervous about my case due to some special circumstances that could have made my life Very difficult. Mark Deniz assured me with his calm demeanor and he truly built an excellent case. Best result ever!

I was very scared going into the whole court process. Mark made it very comfortable, took all the weight off my shoulders. He handled the case better than I ever could have expected and his price was very fair!! Couldn't recommend more, great guy.

Mr. Deniz was very helpful! He had very affordable prices and was very accommodating! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

On short notice Mark took a call and explained everything about my daughters MIP charge in detail. An incredibly professional attorney. Thank you very much for the information.

Such an amazing experience! Keep up the good work guys!

The staff at the location were all extremely friendly and helped ease all my concerns and assured me the best outcome in my type of situation.

Mr. Deniz and his staff have gone beyond my expectations in representing me.
A lawyer once told me, "no one like lawyers... until you need one." Most of us navigate our lives without expecting the need for a lawyer. However, life happens. And if you ever find yourself in need of an honest lawyer who will remain committed to your case through thick and thin, you have found one in Mr. Deniz. He did not over promise and under deliver. He communicated and performed exactly as he indicated he would. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I've been meaning to write this post for a couple of weeks now. I am still in shock that Mark Deniz went above and beyond to get my case settled. And the best part, because the case was so easy for him to settle, he only charged me half of his fee. I was trying to pick my jaw up off the floor as he told me they threw out my case and all I needed to do was contact the DMV to reinstate my drivers license. All I could say was thank you so much as I wiped the tears from my eyes. I am forever thankful to Mark and the work that he did. I will never forget you.

Amy

I am so thankful to Attorney Mark Deniz for his help to me to navigate through the tough situation i put my self in. He was on top of the issue and got me the best out come possible, which could have been a lot worse. He is a true professional in all respect. I am sure I will not be needing his help again but I recommend seeking his help if you get in trouble like me.

Mark and his legal team were excellent. They were very helpful and fought hard in my favor. My best advice is to not overthink your case and let them handle the important things - they know what they are doing!

Very grateful to find such a great attorney to work on my case and got me the best results especially from being out of the county was on top of everything they definitely was willing to work out an a payment plan once agian thank for the great services

As a parent getting a call and trying to secure the right attorney is key - especially when you reside out of of state. The law office of Mark Deniz was prompt in returning an urgent call (in the late hours of the night) and walked us through what would be done from posting bail to navigating the court hearings. Throughout the cases (there were multiple offenses) Mark was expert in advising and navigating the right positioning - eliminating all jail time for a very complicated DUI case (which was not a first offense) and securing and reducing the fines in a way that satisfied the courts and left our lives intact. We are most grateful and HIGHLY recommend his services. Thank you !

I honestly don't even know where to begin with reviewing this incredible man and law firm. Firstly, I was arrested for a dui and four other counts; with an accident, and only 2 months ago! Yesterday, on my birthday, Mark delivered the most unbelivable, astonishing news; my case was over, done. I never once appeared in court. He takes care of all the DMV hearings and hoops as well.. Every detail. In the beginning, I was so devestated and anxious and fearful that I could barely function. Listen friends, I can't say enough about his character, integrity, knowledge, professionalism, personality! I could go on and on about Mark Deniz. He's confident, funny, reassuring, communicative. The very best decision I have ever made for one of the worst mistakes and seasons of my life, was hiring Mark. The man is unmatched in every way and he really cares about who you are not what mistakes you've made. He walked me through the process, two months people! He finished my case in two months. I honestly could not have walked through this without him. When he called to tell me the deal he negotiated for me, I cried, I laughed, I literally fell to my knees thanking God for the outcome that was exceedingly and abundantly more than I could have asked, thought or dreamt of in my situation. If anything I don't have the words to say enough about Mark Deniz and his team. Mark, I am eternally grateful for what you've done for me, all the time you spent making sure every last detail was addressed. This is a man of impeccable character and He really really cares about who you are and he will take the time to make sure everyone involved knows too. Just incredible.
Today I am so humbled to honor Mark with the utmost gratitude. I am seriously crying writing this. Yes, He's that unbelievable a lawyer and a man. Don't look anywhere else. You struck gold with Mark Deniz. My children and I thank you Mark with all we are.

When I got thrown in tank and charged with three different charges, I thought my life was ruined. I talked to family and they recommended me Mark Deniz. I'm glad I didn't go to any other lawyer. He helped me through the whole process, very calm but one hell of a Lawyer. Took two charges off and reduced everything that I thought would make my life a living nightmare. Mark is a good man and an even better Lawyer. Don't think about going to anyone else.

Mr. Deniz worked hard on my case and he achieved a resolution I didn’t even think was possible! He was always willing to answer my questions and responded the same day! Even on weekends! I can’t thank him enough for all he’s done! I highly recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone.

Mark represented me for my first and second DUI. In February of 2015 I was involved in a minor accident with a traffic sign and was arrest for DUI. Mark was able to set up the DMV hearing which they said I wasn't driving impaired and I was able to keep my license. Mark handled all the court proceedings and I never had to show face. The outcome was wonderful in that I got a wet reckless instead of a full blown DUI. I received only a small fine and a 6 week DUI program with 3 years court probation. No extended DUI program, no community service.

In March of 2017 I was involved in yet another accident but this time with another vehicle. The vehicles were eventually claimed to be totaled and the victim claimed minor injury. Said his shoulder hurt. The arresting officer recommended a felony DUI for this case. So, I have a second arrest while on probation, in an accident driving under the influence, with "injuries" not major. I was in a bad way. I called Mark and was panicking because I was looking at up to 7 years in prison for this mistake. Mark took on my case and was a big help, again. I did all the extra things he requested me to do to show the courts that I'm not a screw up alcoholic. We went to court a few times and finally received a decent offer/ plea that Mark was able to get set up. I received no jail time and 4 months house arrest instead. Plus, a minimal fine. I did receive the felony, but after I complete the 18 month multiple conviction program without getting in any trouble, I will get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor. YAY!!!

It all worked out in the end because of Mark and his teams hard work. He is very honest, thorough, professional, great with communicating and answering questions. He knows his way around a courtroom and how to handle the DA and Prosecution. He is very affordable and is willing to work with you financially. I highly recommend him with any and all DUI cases. Thank you very, very much Mark. You are amazing.

UPDATE:
It's been two years since my second DUI arrest and Mark came though for me and had my felony charges reduced to misdemeanors as agreed upon when we settled the case. I also got reduced from formal probation to summary probation to the court. I am finally free and can put all this behind me now, thanks to Mark and his team.

Not only were they able to ease my mind with their support and guidance during a very stressful time in my life but they helped me to achieve the very best outcome on my case. I would definitely recommend Mark Deniz and his team!

For my DUI case I initially felt very helpless, like there was nothing I could do to better my situation and thought I should just go with a public defender and accept whatever outcome there was. The burden of it all was extremely taxing on my psychological health. Although it was my first offense I blew a .17 and was looking at some harsh punishment for it. After consulting a few lawyers Mark was easily the best choice and most reasonably priced. He made me feel secure and was very upfront with me about what he could do for me from the get-go. He ended up going above and beyond what I had hoped for and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my case. He handles all of the messy paperwork for the DMV and court dates for you. He used to be a prosecutor for many years before switching to defense attorney so he knows how each side works which is a huge advantage. I was looking at extremely high fines, community service, at least 45 days with an ankle bracelet, an interlock on my car, and at least 6 months in a DUI program. Mark met with the prosecution quite a few times and negotiated on my behalf for only 3 months in a DUI program and reduced fines. Because of him I saved so much money and gained mental clarity knowing I was getting the best deal possible. He also works with you as far as payment goes to set up a plan that isn’t unreasonable, which also helps for whatever financial situation you find yourself in. All in all, amazing experience and highly recommend him to anyone fighting a DUI!

Mark and his team did a great job on getting a very good result in my DUI case. Being a former prosecuting attorney himself, Mark knows exceeding well how to negotiate with prosecuting attorneys and gain favorable terms with judges. I was impressed with his thoroughness on exploring the options available in the case and then pursuing the best possible results in negotiations. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for superior representation and at a fantastic price.

Excellent experience. Definitely got what I paid for and then some. Fixed a serious ten year old legal issue, all said and done reduced to an infraction and small fine. Very satisfied, I highly recommend Mark to handle your legal issues!!

2 October 2017, I looked in Yelp, Google, and Avvo website for the best Criminal Lawyer in San Diego. I found so many Lawyers; I read all of their reviews and background. I didn’t know who to go with and who will fight for my innocence, until I picked Mark Deniz because he had the best reviews. When I called Mark Deniz, he listened to my situation and he explained everything with details. He was professional, great listener, knowledgeable, and personable. I choose Mark Deniz because of his experience, knowledge, and he knows the procedures of the courts in San Diego because he was a prosecutor. Reading his background than I knew I needed to hired him, and I knew he will fight for me.

I was being charged with a felony because of a Domestic Violence for an argument I had with my wife. The Police Officer charged me with a felony because I was seen as the aggressor. The Police Officer said, “In every call we receive for domestic violence, we always take someone”. Well that someone is me, and not the woman. Imaging how I felt when I was taking into custody, and viewed as an aggressor by the Police Officer after he saw my spouse hit me. My bail was higher than my spouse, I felt like my world ended because no one will believe a female hit a male. Police Officer didn’t believe me and took into custody.

I didn’t know what to do because being charged a felony for a DV is not good for my career and future. Talking to Mark Deniz, he explained my situation and that he will fight for me to the end. It gave me comfort, but I was worried of the outcome even though Mark kept saying he will fight for me to the end. As time was getting close to court date in the middle of October 2017 my mind was going everywhere.

Mark went to court in my behalf. I was home counting minutes and hours wondering the results. I thought by going to court I can explain my side, but Mark said he was going to take care of it, and he did. Mark called me to tell me I was not charged with anything, and he took care of everything. I had a big relief, and I was speechless, and didn’t know how to thank Mark.

Thank GOD there are people like Mark Deniz who will clear things out and fight for innocence of people. Police Officers make their own judgment of what happened without being present. Mark Deniz and his assistant are professional, helpful, and ready to answer any questions. I am very happy for the job that Mark Deniz did, and he is very proactive.

I highly recommend Mark Deniz to fight for you. He is a professional, experienced, knows the procedures of the courts, proactive, and detail with his clients.

Very Respectfully,

Raul

Mark is simply amazing! Came to him for help and he definitely came through! He is very experienced and is very nurturing throughout the whole process! His team is super positive as a whole and that really helped stay collected to the end. From the beginning he was very confident that they could get the best result for my boyfriend and they absolutely did. His prices can't be beat. Would definitely 10/10 recommend him to anyone who needs help! He deserves way more than 5 stars!

Mark Deniz and his team handled my DUI very professionally, I am very happy with the outcome to my case. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone needing a lawyer.

After dealing with numerous attorney’s and not getting the results I needed, I found the Law Offices of Mark Deniz. Of course because of my past dealing with attorney’s and knowing my case was not an easy one to overturn, I was reluctant he would actually be able to help me with my case. After meeting with Mark, I felt he had my best interest in mind and would work hard to get me a great outcome. After the filing of Motions and my Declaration, I was always provided a copy so I knew what was going on in my case. I was always updated on the hearing dates and knew what the strategy would be. When my hearing came before the Judge, Mark’s partner, Alyssa argued my case. Not only was she knowledgeable but she was also extremely professional when dealing with opposing counsel and the Judge. I finally found the right attorney’s to get me the results I needed to end this matter. Thank you Mark and Alyssa for your efficiency, professionalism and hard work.

I contacted Mark via email from Boston Massachusetts to see if he would be able to help me clear up some past mistakes I had made in my youth while living in San Diego. He replied within the hour on a Sunday afternoon! I peppered him with questions that evening regarding my situation and he promptly and politely responded to each one. He agreed to take my case. Once in court, he fought for me and got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor and also had it expunged. His fees are not exorbitant and he offered me the ability to make 3 affordable payments spread out over the course of a few months. I would highly recommend using his services if you are in a jam and need the help of a Criminal Defense Attorney.

I am extremely pleased to be able to give Mark an outstanding review and 5 star rating for his work and outstanding representstion for my son. Three years ago was a very trying time for us when my son had the unfortunate event of a DUI. We didn't know where to turn, especially since I live out of state. We were lucky enough to find Mark through other recommendations. From the very beginning, he made himself available to answer any questions we had regarding my son's case. He did his job with integrity, a sense of urgency and most importantly he was able to get my son a favorable resolution. I highly recommend Mark for anyone else who may need his services. He went above and beyond for us.

I hire mark deniz three months ago becasue I did a contract without a painting lic and they wanted to charge me with 5 charges I didn't know what to do becasue most lawyers charge a fortune . I got in contact with him and he help me with my whole case at an affordable price and in payments . Now my case is resolved with no jail time and he was able to fight to dismiss most of the charges I highly recommend him his the best !!

I live out of state and asked Mr. Deniz for assistance with a traffic violation. He was responsive, extremely helpful, and I just found out that I won my Trial by Declaration, saving me a big chunk of change. He clearly cares about providing top-notch services for his clients. Highly recommend!

Excellent Attorney. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Mark Deniz! Everything happened exactly how he explained it would. He always responded very promptly to my text and calls and the outcome was incredibly better than expected. He was always very sharp with all the dates and the Court making sure my process would evolve as quick and smooth as possible. It was very well invested money in my opinion.

I found Mark very quickly after getting my DUI. He agreed to meet with me pretty much immediately and that's when I knew he was the right choice. He spent time going over everything and truly listening to my case. He was interested in who I was as a person and got to know me well. I was scared and he put me at ease. He is very thorough in explaining everything. I had a very high BAC and a refusal and Mark went in there and got me the very best results. I would refer him and his team to anyone who finds themselves in this situation. Mark showed me early on that although it was a terrifying ordeal to be in, there was no reason not to face it head on and with a positive attitude. Thank you so much Mark.

I recently used Mark Deniz’s law offices and was more than satisfied. After looking at several different firms to assist with a second DUI charge, I finally felt comfortable and confident that this was the right lawyer. Mark Deniz is very intelligent, knowledgable, trustworthy, and will do all he can to help with your case. It is obvious that he has much experience in these types of cases and is prepared to handle whatever situation a client faces. I felt that throughout the entire process Mark was putting in 110% effort and truly cared and wanted to help. His co-employee, Alyssa, was also very helpful in answering questions and concerns. Mark was always willing to listen and answer my questions, consider suggestions and remarks, always gave a thorough explanation for the status of my case, and gave up-to-date information promptly. My case was tricky, and there were several factors going against me, but Mark was able to get a good resolution. I am sure that with his help, I received a much better outcome than going forward alone or with a different firm. I am very grateful for the time, effort, attention, and care Mark Deniz put into my case. The price was fair and manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him. This is a reputable and upright law firm with concern and care for their clients.

I found my self in trouble and needing help. I had no idea who to call or where to go. I Google searched criminal lawyers and some how found Mark Deniz. So very thankful that I did. I'm out of trouble and problem free thank you for handling my case. May you have good fortune in the future.

Extremely satisfied with the whole experience. I'm in the military so Mark represented me while I was gone on deployment. He took care of my case while I was away and managed to work my case to a small fine. Really understanding and trustworthy guy. He kept me updaded in every step making sure I got taken care of. Highly recommended!

Number 1 choice in San Diego.
Very professional,helpful and sincere.
Alyssa is awesome,on point and accurate .
They were able to help me where the city of San Diego couldn't even answer questions accurately.
After dealing with the public pretenders office and other attorneys no1 could answer any questions.
Alyssa was able to correctly answer my questions and show me proof of what was correct.

Don't risk your life in the hands of the city public defenders or other lawyers.
Mark deniz and his team of excellent and professional staff like Alyssa will take care of you .
Thank you.

Mark and his team were FANTASTIC! I was well taken care of. It is scary being in a DUO situation but Mark reassured me every step of the way. I had a double digit BAC of .1 and was to be charged with a DUI but Mark and his excellent team got the charge down and made sure I was able to take care of all of my classes and meetings close to home. AND he understands that it is a costly process. His fees are so doable. I am a student and was able to pay for him and he is a great lawyer. He is genuine and so are the rest of his team. They really care about your case and making sure you stay calm and positive when things are looking tough. I honestly DO NOT know how I would have gotten through this without my family AND Mark Deniz and his law team. You need him for he is the best chance at helping you get your life back to normal.

I received the dreaded call at 3am that son had been arrested for a DUI... Needless to say I was overwhelmed. I live in a different state from my son and felt helpless to get him support. My husband started researching on the internet to find an attorney and came across Mark Deniz, the reviews were amazing, almost to good to be true... He answered our call extremely early in the morning and spent over 30min on the phone with us to walk us through the process that my son would be facing. After that phone call I felt confident that we had chosen the right attorney. My son still had a lot of work to do but Mark sat down with him and created a game plan and was on top of ALL the paperwork and court dates. He was always available for questions and made the whole nightmare easier to navigate...He has resolved the case with a better outcome than any of us could have ever expected and now my son is in recovery and sober...
I can't begin to tell you how very grateful we are to have had him defending our son. If we ever have another situation and God forbid we do, Calling Mark Deniz would be our very 1st step and should be yours as well if you are looking for help...

I can’t say enough great things about Mark and his Team. From the beginning of his work on my case Mark was confident and sure which eased quite a bit of my anxiety. He aggressively pushed my good side to the DA’s office which was the key factor in convincing them to not file formal charges against me. Mark’s efforts basically saved my life and career. I can’t thank you enough Mark!
Mark’s fees were reasonable, he was easy to contact, and quick to return my phone calls. He is extremely reliable. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney. He is the Best!

Helpfull and experienced attorney

Working with Mark Deniz was painless (given the situation). He was helping me with a traffic infraction. Mark dealt with my case professionally and gave me comfort as this process was new to me. Along the way he gave me sound advice and kept me informed on the progress. Mark helped me get my fine reduced and I couldn't have been more grateful. I would recommend Mark to others or use him again for future incidences (though I hope to not have any).

Mark and the rest of his staff were very much competent, considerate, patient, and skilled. I hired Mark specifically from reading reviews like these. I was charged with a DUI, which was reduced to a wet reckless charge, ensuring that one bad night didn't ruin the rest of my career. Not a single regret.

Quick, Effective, Awesome! I really enjoyed working with the Law Offices of Mark Deniz. He and his team effectively communicated during all phases and provided clarity during a very stressful time. He was quick to resolve my issues and went to work for me the minute I contacted him. The return on investment was definitely evident and worth every penny. Don’t look any further if you need a Lawyer today.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed Mark Deniz’s reputation is immaculate regardless of what site you’re on. I am here to tell you that’s for excellent reason. As a client I could not be any happier with the outcome. I was a first time offender with a little over a .19 BAC (max limit is .08). The odds were very clearly against me. I was caught dead to rights for a high blood alcohol DUI. I’m a realist and assumed I was going to have the book thrown at me, do at least 4 days of jail time, eat a minimum $7-$10k fine, do 10-15 days of community service, and whatever other punitive measures there are for DUI. I knew I was caught dead to rights and wouldn’t have some miracle dismissal.

Bottom line, I was guilty. So pragmatically my focus was finding someone to trust with my court appearances and leverage their negotiating power so I didn’t have the whole enchilada of punishments handed to me. Mark Deniz possesses the perfect combination of high level prosecutorial and defense attorney experience and it clearly worked for me. He expertly negotiated my plea down to a $2k fine, a 1 year ignition interlock on my car (imposed by the judge), and only 2 days of community service. Frankly, I couldn’t believe it on a high blood alcohol DUI my plea deal included only a minimum fine, no jail time, an ignition breathalyzer the judge ordered (no big deal), and a mere couple days of community service! If you’ve been arrested in a similar situation, you understand things could have been so much worse!

Don’t try and navigate the criminal justice system alone. Place your trust in Mark! He’ll work tirelessly regardless of your circumstances and how stacked the odds are against you. You seriously won’t regret giving him a call!

Mark was a pleasure to work with and handled my case with understanding and poise. He has an expert knowledge of the law and San Diego County court processes, proceedings and the nuances’. It was a great experience with Mark from beginning to end.

Mark helped me get through a tough 6 months or so. I got a DUI, had a very high BAC, and things were not looking good. I looked for a lawyer, and after reading all of the great reviews, I picked Mark.

It's been a long road but Mark has been there with me every step of the way. I felt really apprehensive and nervous about everything, and as my court date approached, Mark did a great job of going over all of the details with me and discussing the possible outcomes, and what I would be most comfortable with. He really helped put me at ease as we worked through my case. He was easy to reach - I could email, call, or text him, and also went to his office a few times. Mark went to court for me, and was able to get me what I thought was a pretty good deal, a fair deal - with no jail time. It was a serious offense, and so I was faced with multiple consequences to pay the price - but they were all reasonable, and through the past 4 months, I've been able to finish most of them.

Mark is proactive, which I really like. He wants you to get started with whatever you can to show you're committed to fixing things. For example, he encouraged me to go to a program called "Beyond the Caution Tape" before court - which looked good to the lawyers, and because of this I was exempted from one of the court-assigned penalties.

The value of having someone knowledgeable on your side...huge. Mark's fees are reasonable - and remember, you get what you pay for. Mark is worth it.

Mark is an amazing attorney! He was very very helpful throughout the process and got me an amazing deal! The best attorney in SD!!!!

We initially contacted Mr. Deniz after interviewing several attorneys. We retained him because he was knowledgeable, empathetic and generous with his time. Although our case was difficult and messy, he maintained his calm demeanor. Mr. Deniz connected at a personal level with us. And, honestly, we were relieved to have him in our corner the minute we met him. He exudes confidence. His co-counsel, Elisa, was most impressive examining our witness and very composed. We won our case. Would definitely retain him again!

I contacted Mark Deniz all predicated on the reviews from all other clients believe it or not . He was totally professional and a very easy going, nice positive Attorney. He was effiecient and easy to understand about how it works and what to expect. He gets the ball rolling and I mean quick! So he doesnt waste anytime so I would encourage you not to either from his instructions....it'll be worth it. He works with you on his fees...which I thought to be reasonable. Just make sure you pay him, and be honest. I'm still paying him and will continue to do so until he is payed up within the guidelines that we agreed upon. So don't let him down. ....he won't you. Thank you Mark for everything! You relieved me from a lot of stress. God Bless!

I could not have asked for a better attorney! Mark understands that mistakes happen and did a remarkable job representing me. He was very thorough and helpful and was available to answer any questions I had. (which were a lot). Dealing with a DUI case is a pain, it's costly, and it's time consuming; but having Mark as an attorney will surely make the process that much less painful and affordable. I feel relieved and satisfied with the outcome. Mark is 100% committed to making sure you receive the best outcome on your DUI case!

I was arrested for domestic battery in March 2016, a very serious crime. If convicted, I was facing possible jail time, loss of my gun rights, loss of my state licenses, huge fines, anger management classes, and future issues with custody and visitation with my child. I was scared and needed help quick.
I never thought in a million years I would have been arrested for a battery charge and sure didn’t know how serious California treats domestic violence / battery cases. So… I interviewed 5 attorneys within a couple of days. They all were very good in their own right but I never felt like any of them really were going to be able to help me or had my best interests at heart. I felt like a number and a dollar sign in many of the interviews with the 5 attorneys. Then, on a Saturday night, I found Mark online. I read ALL of his reviews and could hardly believe how many great things were being said about him. I picked up the phone and called expecting to get an answering machine. Mark answered and spent a good 30 minutes talking with me at 9 pm on a Saturday night. Who does that??? You could tell instantly he knew his craft inside and out. He told me each and every step that both the police and then the prosecutors would take to try and convict me of the crime. He is a straight shooter and won’t sugar coat anything either which I really appreciate. By the end of the phone call, I was extremely impressed and was 90% sure I was going to hire Mark to defend me. After I did some more research on him and his amazing career both as a prosecutor and in private practice, I knew he was the guy! I sent him an email late that night telling him I wanted to retain him. I received the retainer agreement early Sunday morning, signed it, and he was hired. Impressed again! I thought I would talk with him on Monday to give him more details about the case but I got a phone call on Sunday from Mark and he was already working on the case. I was impressed yet again. I don’t think the man sleeps!
Everything that each person wrote in theses reviews about Mark is pretty much spot on. Mark really does care about his clients. He is easy to reach and usually answers his phone but will always get back to you within a few hours when you call. He calls and sends updates as he gets them. He is easy to work with and takes the time to explain any questions you may have. He is as professional as they come.
Mark is a bulldog too. He is all over the prosecutors and floods them with so much information about his clients and their situation that the prosecutors HAVE to pay attention. The prosecutors are forced to look at each case and the person being prosecuted instead of looking at each case as a number and another conviction. Mark explained that prosecutors are paid to get convictions period. Mark has some unique tools that force the prosecutors to think twice before seeking a conviction or plea deal. I bet prosecutors hate to see any cases defended by Mark Deniz.
In regards to the outcome of my case, Mark got the charges DROPPED!!!! The experience he gained while being a prosecutor gives him so many advantages. He knows the system and how to work it, he is well respected by everyone in the court and legal system, and he is friends with many of the judges, prosecutors, and everyone you need on your side to help you get the best outcome possible.
My case could have easily gone the other way and I truly believe it is because of Mark’s relationships experience, professionalism, charisma, and follow through that it ended with such a favorable outcome.
I will recommend EVERYONE to Mark Deniz. He saved my life in a lot of respects and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. I wish he practiced other areas of law as I would hire him to do it all.
If you have a criminal matter or DUI, pick up the phone and call Mark now. It may be the best phone call you ever make!

Mark Deniz is a very professional lawyer who knows how to listen and help the needs of his clients. He is very attentive and always pays attention to everything you say. He is very good at his job and knows every aspect of the law. And lastly he is very willing to go above and beyond his job to help his clients.

Mark was excellent in my defense against my DUI that I had staring at me in the face. He was able to calmly make sure I stay on track. With that being said, he was very accessible to me, had answers on how to get back on the road with my license, also with making sure the court system did not chew me up and spit me out. I recommend Mark to anyone who is unsure of what to do next, his free consultation helped me get my mind at ease. He fights for the people.

I am so impressed by Mark Deniz. I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Not only did he do a fantastic job with my case, but he went above and beyond in every meeting I had with him. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and explained different nuances about the justice system to me. He always made sure I understood all of the facts and all of the possible outcomes. He made me feel comfortable and I learned a lot!

Mark was worth every penny! He saved my bacon. I wouldn't think twice about recommending him to a friend.

Dedication to the clients in getting them the best possible outcome possible.

If you need a defense lawyer who looks out for your best interest, then Mark is the one you're looking for. I've had lawyers before but I've never received the kind of treatment like I've received from him. He is very understanding and believes that one mistake doesn't tell who a person is. I had a recent case where I thought everything that I've worked so hard for was gone. I explained the situation and he dove right in before barely getting off the phone, telling me the steps I needed to take and what he was a going to do next. Throughout the entire case, he kept me up to date on the status, the options of good and bad scenarios and in the end I came out on top, completely taken back on the outcome. I would recommend anyone who needs a great defense lawyer to reach out to him as I believe he will treat you the same way he did me.

Acquiring Mark Deniz was the best thing I ever did! He is an astute lawyer, very connected in the legal community & respected by all. As a former DA, he knows both sides of the law. And he is compassionate - he really cares. Once Mark took my case, he handled everything from start to finish; I never stepped once in a courtroom. He first successfully had my charge reduced, keeping me posted along the way, and followed up, as promised, by ultimately terminating probation and getting my case completely expunged. Mark gave me my life back & made me a new man.
Mark could charge twice as much, BUT HE DOESN'T. I truly believe he is passionate about helping the average person get their just representation in today's complex court system.
So if you ever need a lawyer, do what I did... shop around and compare, but be sure to make Mark Deniz one of your visits. I know you'll reach the same conclusion I did; Mark Deniz is hands down your best choice! There is no better lawyer and his price is ridiculously below his market value.
Please understand, I did not have to write this review, but I wanted to, to help others like me get the best lawyer.

Mark, I would very much like to express my feelings of gratitude. My case was handled with complete professionalism in every way! I have highly recommended you to everyone I know. Outstanding job! - Nick

The law offices of mark Deniz is hands-down one of the best law firms that is help me out of two legal cases with victory. I highly recommend Mark representing you in any legal matter that you might have. I own an old-time barbershop and I recommend mark to all my customers. Thank you Mark for another victory!

Mark did an excellent job representing my case. I'm fortunate to have found such an experienced and affordable attorney and would recommend his firm to anyone in need.

At a very low point in my life Mark Deniz and his firm were there to help me through my DUI case. He was able to provide me with great pricing options and also unique counseling given his particular background. I could not be more grateful for his help in winning the case.

Mark did an AMAZING job representing me and I ended up not getting charged with a DUI. He is always available to answer any of my questions or concerns in person, over the phone or via email no matter what time of the day it is. Mark is very experienced in what he does and have EXCEPTIONAL pricing for his services. I recommend you to give him a call for a free case evaluation.

Stellar experience! Mark answered his phone every time I called except once when he called back within an hour because he was in court. He gave professional advice regarding my options and every possible resolution. Knowing the judge and prosecuting attorney, he was able to resolve my case promptly and with a better outcome than we both expected. He continues to remain in touch and I highly recommend using Mark for your DUI case.

Mark was a pleasure to work with. He was excellent at returning calls and emails; He was especially awesome at keeping me informed about my case progress and talked at my level, not a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo. I will definitely refer any of my friend to Mark for any legal matter. He's a true professional in every sense.

I am 5 starring a bad situation only because Mark Deniz helped me so gracefully out of it. I found Mark in a desperate frenzy, the night before my court date and within five minutes of talking with him, I was breathing easier. He offered his defense for a significantly lower fee than anyone else I contacted in San Diego and proceeded to fight my case down to a dismissal which beat all my expectations. He kept me up to date and informed throughout the process and answered my long list of questions and random phone calls very patiently. Mark really works wonders and his optimism is infectious. I highly recommend Mr. Deniz to anyone in need of legal action/ a lawyer friend.

Finding a good lawyer can be a very stressful process. I was in trouble with the law a few months ago and I'm glad I chose Mark Deniz to represent me. From the moment when I first reached out to him regarding my ordeal to the times I was in his office to discuss my case, he always kept me calm, listened attentively and assured me he will fight hard to give me the best outcome. It really helped that Mark was a former prosecutor of San Diego, a very good one at that. His fees are very reasonable. He could have easily charged me 2-3 times more for the case but didn't. In short, Mark aggressively handled my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He basically got rid of the charge that I thought was going to be on my record permanently, which would have been devastating. It gets better: the court fine that was imposed was reduced to the lowest fine. I couldn't be happier that I chose Criminal Defense Attorney Mark Deniz. Thank you very much Mark.

Very thankful to have worked with with Mark. He's extremely helpful and led me every step of the way through my court case. He helped me get my case dismissed and I couldn't be anymore thankful for his understanding of my financial situation as a student. Thanks again.

I got myself in a situation that I felt was going to ruin my life. After being in jail I just thought about having to go back in there. I thought I would lose my job and I would not recover from this. I talked to other attorneys and some were about money and some were just meh. Mark knows what he is doing. Mark responded to my questions. Once I signed he was getting back with me with all the questions I had. He took care of me. He is my hero. I highly recommend.
