Wana Saadzoi

All the other lawyers once I said I had ARD before they pretty much stopped thinking about how I could gain entrance into the ARD program and they told me how much jail time I was looking at. But Wana!? Let me tell you something about Wana Saadzoi... THE WOMAN DOESN'T STOP until she gets you in... a comfortable spot. Wana has gone above and beyond for me and I am so grateful for her and her services. I was initially hesitant to go with her because I am very impatient and when I had called for my initial consultation she was unavailable and her assistant said he would have her call me back but instead another attorney called me but it's because Wana is busy doing what she does so if you cannot reach her specifically the first time or second time just wait for her she's so worth it! I spoke to 7 other lawyers prior to choosing Wana and I must say it was her mansuetude that got me. She didn’t speak to me like I was a criminal. She spoke to me like I was someone who made a mistake that she wanted to help. Prior to me hiring her, she broke down all the law jargon and allowed me to ask questions pertaining to what I was charged with. She also brainstormed some of the things she could do for me as my lawyer during the consultation a lot less vaguely than the others. In addition to that she asked what I wanted the outcome to be. On top of all that she took into consideration my circumstances and made it more feasible for me to hire her. So I hired her and it was honestly the best decision I made all 2020. I was charged with a DUI after crashing my car and my toxicology report came back with a .15% BAC and weed in my system. Due to having already been in an ARD program for weed/paraphernalia I was looking at 2 days to 6 months in jail, 1 year license suspension, 10 days with an ankle monitor, plus classes, and fines and fees. Despite that Wana applied for ARD and disclosed my history. They denied my entrance and offered me a deal: 6 months probation, 10 days with an ankle monitor, $500 fine, $100 fine, court costs, driving classes, drug and alcohol treatment, 1 year license suspension, and no community service. Record will be expunge-able after 10 years (I’ll be 33). Wana knowing me knew what that deal would do to my tenacity and hope for future endeavors. So she gave me time to think about it and in that time that I was thinking she was too! She told me they put her in a box so she had to think outside of it and she did just that omg she's amazing her resilience is so inspiring. She had them re-evalute the policy that inhibited me from entering the program and after some review they decided it was a bad policy so they changed it and with that I was accepted into ARD. Wana fought for me! She got my sentence down to no jail time, 1 year ARD, 1 month license suspension, 32 hours community service, no ankle monitor, and it’s expunge-able after 1 year! Not only did her hard work in my case help me but it will help many others in the future as well. Side bar she’s super easy to talk to, she’s patient (I went to go sign the lawyer agreement curbside and I was reading everything before I signed but I was taking a while and it was close to her closing time; rather than rushing me to sign she allowed me to take them home to review, sign, and give to her later), she’s easy to get a hold of (text, call, e-mail) and very prompt, she’s understanding, she’s flexible, and most importantly she’s genuine. If you are her client she really cares about you and she will really do whatever is within her power to do for you. If I ever need a lawyer again I'm going to check if Wana can take my case before I look anywhere else.

I hired Wana after my DUI in February of 2019. The very next day I called and was very concerned about what this would mean for my career, family, and reputation. Wana put me at ease while letting me know that this was a bump in the road and that if I did everything that I was supposed to, the res...ult would most likely be ARD and expungement of the charge at the end of the ARD process. She laid out the framework of for completing the ARD requirments and when I should have them completed. Wana also made it very easy to contact her by quickly returning my MANY email, and text questions. I completed all of the steps she laid out for me and by the time my ARD hearing occured, all I had to do was pay my fines and serve out the probation and license suspension. The community service, driving school and drug evaluations were already completed months in advance due to her strong guidance. I would highly recommend Wana Saadzoi for your DUI attorney becuase she will put your mind at ease during this difficult time and help you get back to your everyday life.

Wana is amazing & very knowledgeable with her clients! Jonathan is great as well. He always shows up for you & is very informative. When I first got in touch with them they actually stayed late at the office just to meet with me and complete my consultation. I had both attorneys present and listening... to my situation. They collectively knew exactly what to do & assured me I’d be fine. For a first time offender I was nervous but they made everything so effortless that I ended up with no stress at all. I got all the requirements of my ARD done (before seeing the judge) in 6 weeks (CRN Eval, D&A Classes; 11 sessions, Highway Safety School; Sat-Sun) this allowed me to knock off half the community service & the rest was cancelled when I paid my fine off the week before my final hearing! Sounds like a lot but they walk you thru everything and you’re never in the dark. They are very prompt in answering text and phone calls which is a relief to be able to text your attorney!!! Awesome!!! I am going to be using this firm for the expungement as well! I am overly pleased with my experience and I recommend this law firm to anyone!

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.

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!
