About Mark Bennett

I am a criminal defense lawyer in Houston, Texas. I can be reached by telephone at 713.224.1747 most of the time (though afternoons are better than mornings, since I’m in court most mornings) or by email at mark@FightTheFeds.com. Please see my Texas criminal defense website and my federal criminal defense website.
