When it comes to understanding legal matters and the courts in Houston/Harris County. Chris really knows his way around. What I thought would be a legal nightmare Chris was able to resolved expeditiously and have it dismissed in my favor. I have no hesitation is recommending Chris and Thiessen Law Firm. D.A.

Mark is an exceptional lawyer. There are many lawyers who say they fight for clients but Mark walks the talk. When it comes to training he goes all out as well. I came to know Mark as he and I attended the same training together at Axion Labs in Chicago and we both took the certification test at the same time and successfully passed it becoming Certified Lawyer-Scientists through the American Chemical Society. It was a tough course that comprised of four different hands on scientific courses totaling over 120 hours of training and took two years to complete. There are less than 75 Certified Lawyer-Scientists in the entire country. I have also had the great privilege of watching Mark speak on scientific issues as well as speak with him at a conference recently. He is an excellent lawyer who will fight for you and who does so because he has received excellent training. I know. I was there when he was learning it. I do not endorse many lawyers but I would trust my freedom with Mark if I was in trouble. You should too.

I contacted Mr. Thiessen at the recommendation of a friend from church who was a former Harris County District Attorney turned Defense Attorney who had seen him in action. I was facing DWI #2 when I asked her to represent me. Knowing the levity of the situation she said, word for word "You need the best, you need Mark Thiessen." Long story short he has worked with me closely deciding the course of action on my case. When it came time for action, he won my ALR Drivers License hearing right off the bat which means I retained my driving privelage until the outcome of the case and in this case, over 7 months. He always answered my calls, any questions and kept me in the loop of the going on behind the scenes. I never felt as if I were being mishandled and more importantly I never felt lied to. He has a to the point, no bull**** but compassionate demeanor; in other words he won't lie to you or tell you what you want to hear, only what you need to hear. I was facing jail time, heavy fines, among other things when we were ready to plead. He really wanted to fight my case and never did I feel he wouldn't have been a pit bull the D.A. would have dreaded seeing across the court room. For me, the best choice was to take the plea bargain as I needed to get on with my life. By trying the case it would've likely been after the New Year. With that in mind, Mark negotiated hard with the D.A. and got my black and white, cut and dry DWI #2 case reduced to a Class B misdemeanour from an A. No jail, no probation but only a fine. He also set up my occupational license pathway to stay on the road legally without ever missing a beat. I walked away extremely happy with my experience with Mark. He is a consummate professional.

I worked with Joseph Ruiz for close to a decade. His office was next to mine. I witnessed him work late nights and long hours going over videos and reports and other evidence in preparation for trial. He is truly one of the hardest working attorneys I have ever seen. He genuinely cares about his clients and he emotionally invests himself in the outcomes of his clients’ cases. Great attorney to have represent you - hands down.

If you are looking for an honest attorney who will truly fight for you and do what is in your best interest, I recommend you hire Joseph Ruiz. I referred a person to him who was unhappy with the attorney they had hired. Mr. Ruiz quickly took over the case, charged a reasonable fee, handled the case like a true professional, and got the case dismissed!

Long story short... Mark got my case dismissed. It would have been my second DUI. All lawyers say they will fight for you. Mark really means it.

Mr Ruiz is elequent, understanding swift and knowledgable. He has a calming presence in the midst of the courtroom circus. He helped me get a dismissal with case that could have gone much worse without his expertise. On top of that, he is affordable as well as honest. Many thanks!!

Letty McLaughlin gave us a 1 star review. Mark nor TLF has never represented her or anyone associated with her. This is malicious guerilla tactics by our competitors. How we know it’s fake 1. DUI is a ticket, we don’t do tickets. 2. $10k clients have my cell and never complain. 3. It’s very rare a client gets Jail, never on a misdemeanor, and absolutely never if I’m not there. And 4. In about 15 years of practice we’ve had 3 clients that didn’t get along and we refunded their money. We are not in it for the money. We practice law because people need our help. We love fighting for the under dog and treat our clients VIP.

Dan Simons is a part of this law-firm and worked hard for me. Now I fully understand why people say it is worth the money to hire the best! Thanks Dan!

Excellent lawyer Very responsive and excellent litigator, have used him a couple of times and he has done a great job for very reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend to anyone that's looking for a good criminal defense lawyer Thank you Joe

Mr. Ruiz is an exceptional attorney and is amazing at his job. I cannot have been more pleased with the results. He helped me get my DWI case dismissed during pre trial! I never even had to speak or be in front of a judge. He handled everything professionally and answered all my questions and I felt very confident with his abilities. It made the whole ordeal diminutive. He was calm, patient, understanding and polite. Mr. Ruiz is the real deal and I am fortunate that he was the lawyer I chose to represent me.
