Law Offices of Mark Blair

Mark Blair exceeded all expectations I had about hiring an attorney. I would highly recommend him — five stars all the way around. I found Mark to be supportive, personable, responsive and highly knowledgeable. I felt he was always on my side and trying to get the best possible result for me and not just moving on to the next case. If he could not take my phone call then and there he would get back by phone or email that day. He knows the court systems in the Bay Area and has established relationships with all the parties that were tied to the case. And because of this he was able to get my case dismissed! Based on my experience in working with him over five months I would not hesitate to hire Mark Blair — he did a fantastic job.

Great guy. Very nice and professional. Made me feel very comfortable after the notion that I may/​may not get a DUI. I was really tripping out at first but he put me at ease. This guy knows what he is doing. He is on top of his game. I got 25 pamphlets in the mail after I was arrested… this guy turned out to be the best. He’s willing to work with you on the payment for his services, but don’t take advantage of his kindness. If you strike a deal, take it! I Highly recommend Mark Blair.

Mark is a great lawyer! My husband and I unfortunately needed a lawyer. Mark came highly recommended. At first all communication is through email which I didn’t really like, but after meeting him in person. He is awesome. Very personable, and he really seemed to cared about my husband and me. He is worth every penny!

Mark definitely does his best to make sure your case gets handled in the most professional way possible. He makes sure that all pertinent information is readily available to you through his extensive emails, and that your time is never wasted. What made him especially amazing for my case was he successfully reduced my case from a proper DUI to a wet reckless, and aside from other attorneys who I’m would do the bare minimum, take the money and leave, he made sure to talk to me about the case and, at a more personal level, wished that we would never have to meet again in a similar setting.
Mark is definitely the man to hire, fair prices, intelligent person with great morals, and will do whatever it takes to make sure you are satisfied with his work.
Thank you again, Mark, you did a wonderful job.

First I will start off by saying yes, I did need an attorney for a bad decision on my part. And no I won’t publicly go into details. Let’s just say anytime you are faced with legal issues of any kind, it’s stressful and no fun.
At first, I wasn’t going to hire an attorney for the situation that led up to me writing this review. However, I’m glad I did. Furthermore, I’m glad it was Mark. He won’t sugarcoat anything regarding what you may be facing legally. On that note, he has a great relationship with the courts that carries over into the sentencing of his clients. I’m just going to say I got a great deal! I’m very happy with Mark’s work on all levels. Beyond his competence as an attorney, he is very responsive to clients; emails returned quickly and a detailed list of proactive measures to take that will help you on your day in court.
Got forbid I ever need to hire him again for any criminal matter, I would in a heartbeat. He’s on my speed dial! Don’t waste your time getting the run-​around from other attorneys –call Mark Blair — seriously!

Hire him! No BS. Instead, he knows the DUI business inside and out. He’ll get you the best possible outcome given your particular circumstances — and with the minimum of stress on your part. His instruction to the client are straightforward and easy to understand. A total professional.

It’s almost a year and did not really have time to go on Unilocal but I would like to thank Mr Blair for all the work he did for me it was a pretty tough case where it could’ve been worse. I was clocked at the speed of 105mph and later on intoxicated and top of that i was under age. By the experience and just the amazing way Mr Blair works i had a great outcome. I recommend choosing Mr Blair over anyone and PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS AND REQUIRES FROM YOU. Once again thank you Mr Blair and its almost time where i will be getting my license back.

By some legal maneuvering, and some luck, Mr. Blair was able to assist in the adjudication of an outcome that was far better than was expected. The only better outcome would have been a dismissal of my DUI case which wasn’t going to happen. When my charge was finally issued, which was a DUI and was a lesser charge than anticipated, Mr. Blair sought to move the court date up so as not to permit the DA to look as the case more closely. By doing so, he was able to have the charge reduced further to a Wet and reckless charge. The outcome is even better than I could expect under the trying circumstances, so I am very happy!

I would like to begin this review with a thank you to Mr. Blair for all the help he has done for me and my DUI case. I came to him with my DUI case, and he did not judge me but instead gotten to know who I was. He is very helpful and knows what he is doing. He would help me with any questions and concerns that I had. He would put in the extra time to help me with my case. He prepared everything for me so that I could understand what was going on. After the hearing I was not charged with any felony or misdemeanor. BUT since I was under-​aged the DMV suspended my license for a year. Good news! Mr. Blair was able to reduce the time of suspension by a month. Therefore, if you are ever in time of need, I would highly recommend to go to him.

One word: Dismissed
Now obviously I can’t guarantee this result for you, but if you hire Mark, you will get an experienced professional who will move Heaven and Earth to fight for you. Not only does he know DUI law like the back of his hand, he also cares deeply for his clients. He went well beyond his duties as an attorney and spent considerable time on the phone with me, assuring me everything was going to be alright and brainstorming more strategies to use in negotiations with the prosecutor. On top of all that, he’s also incredibly friendly and down-​to-​Earth; you can always count on him to crack some jokes to lighten the mood. And the best part is that he charges a very reasonable fee. Go ahead and do your own research. Other attorneys charge more and have less experience.
I haven’t always made the best choices in my life, but one choice I got right was hiring Mark Blair. If you want the best outcome for your case, don’t hesitate to hire him.

Mark Blair is an excellent attorney and a fine human being. He expertly defended me and treated me with the utmost respect.

Mark specializes as a DUI/​DWI lawyer. After needing a lawyers help in this matter I reached out to several firms. Mark was the only lawyer that received my information and reached out to me rather. My partner and I were considering a few lawyers and ultimately decided to go with Mark based on how many good reviews he had.
He did not let us down! Our case went from being very difficult (added penalty for speeding, being on the cell phone, and running a red light) to being completely dismissed!
From start to end Mark remained very communicative with several emails outlining exactly what to expect every step of the way from worst to best case scenario. Even the day we called to inquire about hiring him as our attorney he was working in the very same court system (Oakland). This turned out to be a good thing; Mark has built a strong relationship with the DMV and others here. He was able to negotiate results for us that have saved my partners record and several hundreds of dollars that would otherwise have been spent over the years for a one time mistake.
I could not be more satisfied and would choose Mark for anyone facing the stress and weight of such a situation. He is very much an advocate for what you are going through with obviously lots of experience including being bilingual if that applies to you. Mark is very on point and does much of the work so you don’t have to!
If you need more convincing check out his reviews here as well:

I would like to start this review by saying how grateful my husband and I are for all of Mark’s help. He was helpful, very responsive and most important an excellent attorney. Our circumstances were a bit complicated and Mark broke everything down for us from beginning to end. He was very upfront with us about what could be expected with our case and what he hoped to achieve — Then he more than delivered on those goals.
Mark more than exceeded all of our expectations. I would definitely refer him to any one needing an attorney. He is great!

I was in the unfortunate position of needing a DUI lawyer, and I was EXTREMELY fortunate to have Mark Blair recommended to me. He was honest, thorough, persistent, and most of all, successful! I came to him with a borderline case that he was able to take to the winning side, guiding me through this stressful process with ease. I am so very grateful to have found him!

I will begin by saying that I am glad I made the decision to go with Mark Blair. For my first case I was very doubtful whether a lawyer would make a difference in my situation as I heard mixed thoughts. I knew one other friend with a similar case as mine and he said he was with Mark Blair and was pretty satisfied at the time. Instinctively I called and was greeted by the man himself. I had all my questions answered and I was given time to pick this man’s brain of what I could expect as far as results go in my case. Like any other human being I didn’t have any idea what to expect and how to go about treating my case by myself, so knowing I had this man by my side really boosted my morale. Court, email correspondences, phone calls, paperwork, and many days later I resolved my first case promptly and trouble-​less. It was in no time that I had a second run-​in with the law. Right away, I called Mr. Blair again and explained to him what had happened. This time, it was way more complex and probably one of the toughest cases for a lawyer considering the circumstances of this case. I look for people who are straightforward with me and do not cushion the reality to make one feel better, but yet «prepare for the worse, expect the best» out of the situation type of deal. Pricing on this one was quite a bit more than the last one, again considering the circumstances. I was curious to see what others were charging so I made a few phone calls. I was surprised to hear that no one offered a better price, and again I proved to myself that I made the right choice. I was given clear instructions of what I need to do in order to lessen my case sentence. After 3.5 months of following through with my duties and responsibilities, they paid off. I was expecting 60 days of community service, 6 years probation, and upwards of $ 3,500 as a fine. On the day of court I was assured by Mark Blair that he would do all in his power to convince and persuade the judge that I am a good, self-​employed citizen that has made a few mistakes but I have done more to improve than anything else. When he came out after talking to the judge he said I got the best deal he could possibly wish for. 15 days, waived fine ($ 0) and half the probation time. I am nonetheless extremely satisfied with my results and work done. Thank you for your hard efforts and I will surely recommend you to the next friend in need.
Sincerely,
Stefan

I hired Mr. Blair by reading reviews online and talking to him briefly on the phone.
I can not begin to tell you what a great job he did and most importantly the outcome he obtained for me from the court is nothing short of miraculous. He does his job very well, and is very professional. I contacted three attorneys before deciding on Mr. Blair and can tell you there is absolutely no regret. He won’t make false promises and will be very upfront with you about the possible outcome of your case. However,
he worked absolute magic for me and made a very stressful situation better. He will always follow up and you can always count on hearing from him as he responds to every email in a timely manner. As busy as he must be, I truly don’t know how he does it. I will be forever grateful and recommend him highly.

I got referred to Mark by a friend that was in the same situation.
Mark spends time to listen to your case and gives you honest advice and suggestions.
All during the process, Mark and his assistant took care of all my paperwork and made the process as smooth as possible. Mark’s price was also one of the cheaper quotes I received when I called a handful of DUI attorneys. In my case, Mark was able to get my sentence reduced which is very uncommon.
Mark gets the job done.

He is patient, quick response, trustworthy lawyer, and most importantly, he really does his job well.
I’m really satisfied by what he has done and will definitely refer him if someone needs.

I came across Mr. Blair via the web and reading other people’s reviews. I called him on Christmas Eve not knowing if he would be in the office, better yet even working. To my pleasant surprise Mark took my call and listened to my situation. I hired him that day and wanted to just move past this. Mark was very helpful and even though I didn’t get a chance to meet him in person first, he constantly sent me emails and was very thorough throughout the whole process. I cannot go into details for why he was hired on but he has kept every word he said he would do and hopefully I won’t ever need his service moving forward but if I did I would not hesitate reaching out to him or referring people to him.

I can’t get into why I hired Mr. Blair, but he is a good guy who takes an informative approach, and made my entire run-​in with the law much less stressful.
