Mark is awesome. My flat fee included an investigator and 18 months of persistence. Mark really got into the specifics of the case, turned out excellant pre-trial motions and briefs and put the prosecuter on notice that we would not fall easily. In the end -- CASE DISMISSED.

I was pleased with the service I received from Mr. Garka. Helpful and informative. He kept me informed and well prepared during the duration of the case.

Mark's extensive knowledge in this area of law as well as his attention to the most minute details allowed me to keep my driving priviledges and reduced harsh penalties I may have faced on the criminal side of the case. Overall, I felt the case turned out better than expected, especially due to some unique circumstances. His patience and professionalism throughout this ordeal kept me at ease. In the future, if I ever need further representation, he'd be the first person I call.

I had never been arrested before, I didn't know DUI law, and I was considering going with a public defender. If you are in a similar situation, my advice is that you hire Mark. The prosecutor and judge can turn your life upside down even if your BAC is below .08. I learned afterward that many DUI attorneys charge more than twice what Mark charges, and they aren’t as good. Mark insured that I got the best outcome possible, which in my case was a significantly reduced charge that might not even raise my insurance rates. When the process was over, I told Mark that I was sorry it had ended because it was so good to be working with him.

Mark's internal procedures and knowledge of the local system were top-notch. Going through this new experience (for me), Mark and his staff were excellent in explaining the procedure, expectations and likelihood of the various outcomes. His process for prepping his clients for their court dates helped dramatically ... I don't know how badly the result would have been without his counsel. If you are in need of his services, listen to what he says and follow his recommendations. Be assured that he will be integral in getting you the best outcome possible.

When I met Mark I knew right away that he was going to get the job done. His politeness and professionalism is without a doubt the best I've seen out of the many lawyers I checked out for my dui. When it came down to business he was always ready to get me up to date and tell me what to do next. I had a very unique case and he handled it with perfectionism. I didn't blow when I was charged with my dui and was told that I would automatically lose my license for a year. I don't know what I would've done without Mark. He knew exactly what to do during my dol hearing and nailed it. Somehow I still have my license and will not have to worry about transportation for the next year. I would reccomend Mark to anyone who is going thru the dui process for the best advice and get you the deal that you most desire. Now that my dol hearing is done and we won the case, he can get a head start on what to do next for my criminal hearing which should go well and I know will end up with something better than a dui stuck on my record. I can't say how much I appreciate the work he has done for me and I'm sure will continue to do throughout the rest of my case. If you want a top notch lawyer for your dui, then I would not look any further than to call Mark Garka.

I have know Mark for many years as a co worker and friend. I never thought I'd need to hire him to help me with a criminal traffic ticket! Yes, bad stuff happens to good people but there are good people out there to help with the bad stuff, and Mark is one of them. Mark is a former law clerk, prosecutor and now a defense attorney. So I knew Mark was the one that could help me out of this insane situation I found myself in. Mark's sense of humor and knowledge helped keep me grounded during the district court litigation. Mark always kept me up to date and told me what to expect. With Mark on the case, my criminal ticket was dismissed and my fine was lowered. I couldn't have done this without Mark. I hope I am never in a situation where I will need him in a criminal defense case, but I am here writing so that if you or someone you know need criminal defense, I recommend Mark and give him the five-star rating.

I was very well represented
