Phenomenal Representation

I hired Wana for my DUI and 2 other drug possession cases. At the initial consultation, she asked me what I was hoping for as an outcome. She then talked me through what she was planning to do to get as close to what I wanted as possible. I agreed with her plan and was ready to hire her. She talked t...o me about her price, and after giving me a generous reduction, I hired Wana. Throughout the court appearances, she would walk me through the steps and processes, making sure I understood everything. Eventually she was able to get the drug charges dropped, which allowed me to apply for ARD in the DUI case. I was accepted into the ARD program, and after a year i will be eligible to expunge the DUI off my record. I am extremely satisfied with her services.

Amazing Experience

Wana and her team were nothing but amazing on working with my case. They were always prompt in responding to me and walked me through how to handle my case as I had never had to go to court before. Very patient , above and beyond and Wana makes sure things get done. You and your team are amazing!

ARD approved

We were so happy to have Wana represent our son on a DUI charge. Wana is absolutely professional, compassionate, and caring. His charge could have been complicated by previous charges from an incident two years prior. Wana made sure she knew about the entire incident to be prepared and was frank abou...t him examining habits and evaluate why he had gotten in trouble twice in the past two years. I respect that and I know my son did as well. This isn’t a time to tip toe around issues, it’s time to face them head on and nip them in the bud, which is what you will get with Wana. Every time my son reached out to her she was very responsive, she reassured him when he was anxious and laid out every detail of what to expect as well as her expectations of him. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome; my son did get ARD and had completed almost all of the stipulations even prior to the ARD hearing due to Wana’s instructions. Working on the drug and alcohol assessment and sessions as well as the highway safety classes was very helpful as he was able to do something tangible while waiting for the preliminary and ARD hearings and learned some things in the process. Those were extremely stressful months, but Wana and her associate John were so reassuring and helpful. I highly recommend Wana Saadzoi. Thank you Wana… and John too!

Desirable outcome

Wana is a great lawyer, she is knowledgeable and her background is extensive. She was perfect for my sons juvenile case she kept us updated and was very upfront about the possibilities. When we were unsure how to proceed she explained everything in a way that we understood. Wana is very progressive s...he knows what to say and how to say it. At the end of it all we were pleasantly surprised that the outcome was greater than we ever expected. I would highly recommend her, she takes her business very seriously. I thank her again that we can move on with our lives.

Excellent

Wana’s incredible legal expertise made the difference in my son’s and our lives. She represented my son with his ARD and expungement, then a DUI. Wana went the extra mile to protect his best interest and advocate for him. She is always responsive to questions and dedicated. Her communication skills..., knowledge and kind manner is what my family needed. We also appreciated her assistant John’s expertise and follow through. I highly recommend Wana!
