San Diego DUI attorney Mark R. De Yoe has helped thousands of clients, since sitting for and passing the State Bar Exams for the State of Colorado in 1983, and the State California 1985.

Just after passing the California Bar, San Diego DUI attorney Mark R. De Yoe worked for Defenders, Inc., a pre-public defender era entity that contracted to provide legal services with the City and County of San Diego. In that time, Mark would help out a number of persons per morning and afternoon. People who still from time to time recognize Mark, after all the many years, and give greeting as they pass on their way, in downtown San Diego. Mark R. De Yoe is very proud of his days as a defender. They were a blue blooded group, aimed at doing everything possible to stand up for the defendant in a criminal case.

In working for Defenders, Mark gained a great deal of experience in handling a wide spectrum of different types of criminal cases. This tremendously valuable experience would have been hard to acquire any other way. Eventually however, Mark stuck off on his own, hanging up his shingle and opening his own law office in what is now called the NBC building, on Broadway, in the heart of downtown San Diego.

As can be expected from an attorney who has so many stories to tell, Mark's criminal trial victories, and victories in DUI trials include a spectrum; from twelve to nothing, not guilty verdicts in cases ranging from double the limit, multiple offense DUI cases, to the more every day, first offense, DUI's - in a range of BAC levels.

Mark has won DMV Administrative Per Se hearing for as long as the California DMV APS laws have been on the books. (Back in the good old days – there were no DMV hearings to deal with, and the court handled any licensee suspension meted out in a case). While no attorney can guarantee or promise that past success can ensure future results, especially with the ever more demanding California DMV, some of Mark R. De Yoe's San Diego DMV hearing victories from over the years have been truly stupendous. These have included; .30 BAC, with an accident, cases, cases with very high blood alcohol levels, many with an accident, hit and run, and extremely tough refusal cases – where the DMV was out to suspend one's driving privilege for one full year – with no possibility for a restricted license of any kind. Whereas San Diego DUI defense attorney Mark R. De Yoe fully appreciates just how necessary it is for people to be able drive to work in today's economy, Mark does all he can to come through for his clients, and save their licenses before the DMV.

Another area where Mark R. De Yoe has been victorious for his clients over the years concerns alternative sentencing in tough DUI cases, where prior offenses cause one to face huge jail or prison terms. Mark R. De Yoe has worked very hard in getting clients what is known as house arrest, with an electronic ankle bracelet, for many years. In a very recent case, Mark obtained house arrest, electronic surveillance with a SCRAM bracelet in very tough, high blood-alcohol Felony DUI case. To get this type of a result takes know how, a plan and execution of that plan. Most rewardingly, victory in this area concerns those who mustered the courage to turn their lives completely around, for the better. Mark has also obtained alternative sentencing in a wide variety of situations for those facing very tough third time DUI sentencing.

San Diego DUI defense attorney Mark R. De Yoe has been helping people for over a quarter of a century. There have been many years of very hard work to get Mark R. De Yoe's reputation for honesty, ethics and hard work to the widely respected point it is today – because Mark R. De Yoe has always cared, really cared about his client's needs and welfare. When you really care for someone – you get the best for them. That is what Mark R. De Yoe has aimed to do for every case he has been entrusted with handling, since day one.
