Hiring Wana was the best choice I ever could have made!

Going into my situation, I had a multitude of DUI and possession charges, including 2 in Montgomery county. I was scared and without guidance. I didn’t know what to do next. I received many letters in the mail for many attorneys, and I just happened to call the best one I could have. Wana reall...y helped guide me through every twist and turn of my case, had an answer for every question I asked, was realistic with our expectations, aided me in finding an attorney for my out of state cases, and actively communicated with that attorney. One of the things I most appreciated was that she contacted me and stayed in direct contact whenever a court case was coming up. Any time I reached out I received an answer almost immediately, and she was proactive in making sure this was dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible, making no mistakes along the way. Going into the case she gave me options for treatments, the next steps I should take, and how to move forward and take actions to prepare myself. And then all of that hard work and guidance ended up paying off. My charges were ran concurrently as 1st dui, the time I did in treatment was credited and she kept me out of jail. The results I received through this process were much better than I ever could have anticipated, and I am eternally grateful and thankful for the representation I received from Wana Saadzoi, and I will recommend her to everyone and anyone in need of help dealing with DUI/Criminal Offenses.

Exceptional representation

There is a reason why I was referred to Wana from Berks county bar and why everybody gives her Law firm 5/5 rating. Wana and John are polite, very professional, dedicated and willing to work for your justice. The outcome of my case was better than I expected. I will be recommending Saadzoi Law to any...one in search of respectable defense. Thank you Wana and John.

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.

Outstanding!

I hired Wana to represent me for my DUI case. She is a very skilled professional and extremely knowledgeable. She was very thorough in answering all my questions and was always available to text or talk when I needed. She patiently explained all my options and made sure I follow a path to completion ...of all that is required for a most favorable outcome. Even though my case had some complicating factors that initially disqualified me from the ARD program, she immediately handled the appeal process, which with her utmost dedication resulted in a favorable outcome, the denial was overthrown and I and was in fact enrolled in the ARD program. Everyone in her office was understanding and patient, and ready to assist. Specifically her assistant John, he was also excellent, and always responding timely and willing to help.
