About

Of my five most recent criminal cases, three were "not guilty," one was a hung jury, later dismissed by the court, and in the fifth, my client declined the people's offer of time served (which would have been about 8 months), and, against my advice, insisted on going to trial.  As I warned him, he didn't fare very well in front of a jury.My former legal assistant, Evangeline Arvizu, wrote this about me on LinkedIn:  “Mark McKinniss was my immediate superior and we worked together as a unified team. Mark values people who are skilled and who perform with results that a client and a lawyer need and want in a busy litigation practice. Mark supported my dedication and commitment to provide opposing counsel, clients and co-working personnel a clear and genuine interest that translates reliable service expected in a deadline-driven law practice, so that Mark McKinniss could focus on his clients' needs in a manner that delivered the outcome that each client wanted to achieve during their lawsuits. Mark is an excellent attorney because he listens, assesses and then takes action to settle cases and deliver the outcome that his clients have retained him to achieve in the litigation matters brought to him. Although I have not yet observed him in trial, his colleagues report that Mark McKinniss is a brilliant trial attorney with a wicked sense of humor, who wins cases!” May 18, 2011

Mr. Mckinniss has a passion for justice and made certain I was comfortable with his representation of my case. It was a case that had a considerable amount of high anxiety for me and from the moment he was hired, I felt his reassurance and felt I could trust him with things I did not understand with my case. Mr Mckinniss fosters a high level of commitment to his client. He understood my objective and helped me get resolution. I felt like I had an attorney and an advocate who cared about the outcome in my favor.

I have worked with maybe 20 attorneys over the last eight years in multiple cases and Mark Mckinniss is the first one who actually will listen to what is being said. When I am wrong on a point, Mark explains carefully why it might not be a good idea. I am not use to attorneys showing respect to their clients as Mr. McKinniss does on a continual basis. Mark responses in a timely manner both by phone and email as the occassion requires. I consider Mark a gentleman, yet he holds his own when arguing a position. If I were to sum him up in two words, I would say, "MARK CARES" !!

I had a major injury and have not been the same since. Mr. McKinnis got me a large settlement after another lawyer was going to take $15,000 policy limits.
