DUI

Wana is a great attorney! She is a beautiful person inside and out. I hired her for my defense in a DUI with an exceptionally high BAC. She was with me every step of the way. Her staff is responsive and reach out with new developments.

Posted by Rich | May 21, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Beyond my expectations

I hired Wana to represent me for a DUI and several other criminal charges. The complicated nature of my charges extended my cases for almost 7 months during which time Wana and her staff scheduled and minimized my court appearances and worked with the police, DA, and judges to get 4 charges dropped i...ncluding a felony. In the end her tireless effort paid off as I only had to pay the minimum in fines and serve only 5 months of probation. During the entire process she was always available to me to answer my questions and address my concerns. I can’t thank her and her staff enough!

Great Lawyer

I couldn’t be happier with my representation from Wana. I contacted a lawyer about representation before contacting her and my original lawyer didn’t seem to have an interest in helping me and just wanted a paycheck. But Wana seemed to actually care and wanted to help me so I hired her instead. She h...elped me get into the ARD program for a 3rd tier DUI with possession of a controlled substance and through out the whole process explained everything I would have to do step by step which put my mind at ease through this stressful situation. I couldn’t be more appreciative for her help and would highly recommend her especially for those who are feeling stressed about their case and wants a lawyer who genuinely wants to help you.

Outstanding representation

I hired Wana to represent me for my DUI and I couldn't have had a better outcome. She was available 24/7, always answered or returned phone calls promptly, offered me an affordable payment plan, and genuinely worked very hard to help me. I was facing a 2 year license suspension for a third tier DUI a...nd refusal (which carries an automatic 1 year license suspension through PennDot). She argued it down to a 60 day license suspension and I was placed into the ARD program, even having a prior criminal record. She appealed the case with PennDot and the 1 year license suspension was dismissed. She subpoenaed the officers body cam and played the video in court which worked out in my favor. I will be able to have the DUi expunged and removed from my criminal record. She is a fantastic lawyer and I now I have the entire mess behind me with minimal penalties, when it could've been completely life altering. Wana is wonderful and highly recommended.

Excellent attorney

I hired Wana initially for a 0.09 DUI. Two months I went unconscious having a seizure and hit a pole. (no alcohol/illegal drugs involved) besides my Dr. prescribed medication (taking as prescribed for years) I was floored to learn I was facing a second DUI for that. After meeting with Wana, you see s...he cares and treats you like family. She fought hard resulting in multiple charges being dropped/reduced. She has great working relationships in the law community which resulted in me getting the lowest possible eligible sentence. I only face 5 weekend days in jail as opposed to 90 days as losing my job. As a result, I continued to work to pay my court costs, restitution, fines etc... I would recommend Wana to anyone because she is very intelligent, trusting, caring and professional and constantly stay In contact with all her clients. In addition she has many year and experience and and always arrives early. Lastly, Wana has fair costs and can work with you. I would definitely recommend Wana Saadzoi to anybody looking for legal counsel that you can trust.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
