Houston Attorney Mark Thiessen Given Super Lawyers Award Honor
Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 09, 2013 -- Attorney Mark Thiessen of Thiessen Law Firm, LLC has become one of the youngest lawyers to ever receive Thomson Reuters’ Super Lawyers award. Typically awarded to legal professionals over the age of 40 or in practice for more than 10 years, the award is a result of Thiessen’s victories as well as peer recommendations.
Super Lawyers employs an intensive process to select its honorees. Blending rigorously-monitored peer nominations and third-party research on each candidate’s credentials, the patented approach analyzes a total of 12 different factors before making a final decision. Awards are handed out annually and on a state-by-state basis. The award covers more than 70 practice areas and no more than five percent of a state’s attorneys are named Super Lawyers, making it one of the most competitive and significant achievements in the industry.
Mark Thiessen is a criminal trial lawyer who founded Thiessen Law Firm in Houston, Texas in 2011. He is a frequent legal seminar lecturer, author of numerous published legal articles, and the current DWI Committee chair for Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (TCDLA), in addition to numerous other accomplishments.

“I am deeply honored and humbled to be counted among some of the finest professionals in the legal field,” said Mark Thiessen. “As we continue working toward justice for our clients, my team and I will continue to uphold the Super Lawyers standards with work that is fair, honorable and inexhaustible.”
