"I spoke to many lawyers in Bakersfield before going with Mark. I was charged with assault with great bodily injury over a year ago and Mark was with me the entire time. The reasons I went with Mark is because he made me feel comfortable and at ease with the case when I was worried about losing my job and tarnishing my reputation. I could see he was being a genuine person who cared a listened to what i was saying. Other lawyers wanted to talk about money right off the back. Mark was thorough when asking questions and understanding the situation I was in. He always had suggestions and advice and kept me informed about what was happening next. I felt like I could contribute to my own case and be part of the process. During the trial it seemed like he was a step ahead of the district attorney and fought hard to get every detail of the case included into my defense. Mark and his defense team are all well trained and know many people in the courts. His knowledge and experience showed when he spoke to the judges, DA, jury, witnesses and defendant. One thing that impressed me the most is how quick he thinks on his feet. He always knew the laws and the DA was never able to take advantage of any situation. His professionalism was also a huge deciding factor in my case and with the jury. The judge and jury all respected his presence in the courtroom. Lastly, he was worth every penny you spend. He never made me feel like I was being taken advantage of financially. That made a big difference in easing my level of stress during the entire trial. In the end I was found unanimously not guilty. If you need help schedule a consultation and you will see. Thank you Mark."
