"I was in a DUI related accident in small mountain county.  A small child had a minor bump on her head. She was in a child car seat, totally secure. I had only lived in CA for one week and I got caught in an unexpected snow storm and I did not have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. I had and accident, knocked over a telephone pole, minor bump on the child's head. The CHP and the prosecutor charged me with felony child endangerment under the CA Penal Code and felony DUI under the CA Vehicle Code.  They wanted a long prison sentence.   Mark fought my case for over a year. He hired an expert to show that my blood level was much lower and the time of the accident. He also hired an accident/engineer and Mark subpoenaed the accident history for that road and there were other accidents DUI/Not DUI in that same area. Mark was able to get the felony child endangerment totally dismissed and then the felony DUI reduced to a misdemeanor injury and finally he got it reduced to a regular, non injury DUI. Instead of prison and a one year or 3 year loss of license, I am in the process of getting work project and Mark also did our DMV hearing also and we may even win that.  Mark calmed me down in a very stressful situation and he cared about both myself and my passengers (fiance and child) equally.

"Mark truly saved me" I was arrested in a high blood alcohol case in the mountains in the middle of a snow storm. The arresting officer really exaggerated what happened in my case. He wrote a very untruthful police report. That same arresting officer was not able to testify in my trial. The prosecutor attempted to proved the case with another officer testifying as to what happened, but Mark files a motion to prevent this and the prosecutor was forced to dismiss the entire case. Mark fought the DMV for two years and same thing, the DMV tried to prove the case without the main officer and they also tried to get me on a refusal which was a totally false allegation and I would have lost my license for a year. Mark did and won the DMV hearing also, so no court case, no DMV suspension and I consider Mark to be a personal friend of mine. I have serious health issues and Mark was very caring about my situation, fought very hard for me and was a friend. If your ever in need of a solid person who will do the right thing by you. This is the guy you want on your side.

My case was unjust, and he saw that. He had 100% trust in my side of the story, compared to what the police report said. He proved the accident wasn't my fault, and fought the DUI felony they were trying to charge me to a first offense DUI, with just a few days work project. Thank you Mark, I don't belong in jail, and I could of been in there if it wasn't for you. Not just a damn good lawyer, a friend too.

I met with him the same day for a consultation for a dui charge and a license suspension, and he explained to me my situation and what he could do for me, I met with him only twice and he got me my license back without a suspension on my record as well as my dui waived. I couldn't have gone with a better lawyer for my case and If not for him my driving record would have been in disarray.

My name is Lonnie. I have a pretty extensive history years ago. I was recently in a hit and run/ reckless driving accident. The da refused to bargain with me. I hired Mark, and after SEVERAL court dates, he managed to get one of the serious charges dropped, and the exact plea deal I was hoping for. He saved my.job, and my liscense. I couldn't thank him for better representation. I will refer him to everyone!

My son was charged with three felony counts, and Mr. Sollitt succeeded in having two counts dropped and the third reduced to a misdemeanor with time served and three years informal probation. Mr. Sollitt was very empathetic and communicated throughout the process. Both my son and I are eternally grateful for the attention he gave and would recommend him without reservation.

I recently had a second DUI and knew I was looking at jail time. I had a high BAC and with a second offense I thought jail was my only option. When I hired Mark Sollitt I was pretty much down in the dumps. Mr. Sollitt from the beginning was honest and caring. He and his legal secretary were professional and honest. Mr Sollitt kept me out of jail and I received 30 days work probject. I live in Placer County where I have heard that they are extremely tough on DUI convictions. I would whole heartedly contact Mr. Sollitt if you find yourself in a similar situation. I still have contact with him as he cares about my well -being..

I needed a lawyer and didn't know anyone. I did some research on the internet. I found Mark Sollitt. I spoke with Mark about my case and decided to hire him. Mark explained what would happen and how we were going to proceed. His defense at the DMV was remarkable. The DMV dismissed my case. He also had my case dismissed with court. I am so blessed to have Mark Sollitt ad my lawyer. I can not thank him enough.
