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!

Thank you Wana! - Excellent Representation for my DUI Case

If you have a DUI problem in Chester County, PA, you definitely need to see Wana Saadzoi. Wana and her team assisted me with handling a marijuana related DUI. My case presented some unique challenges as I had pre-existing plans to move across the country, which could have been complicated by my court... proceedings. Wana's team provided me with comprehensive information up front and consistent communication throughout the duration of my case. Through their efforts, I was able to get my court dates shifted in such a way as to not interfere with my move. Wana's team also helped me get accepted into the ARD program on non-reporting probation, which was extremely helpful given I had moved 1000+ miles away from PA. On top of everything else, Wana is a great person with a fiercely sharp mind. She was very easy to talk to about all of my case details, and she was flexible in working with me on setting up payments for my legal fees. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the services Wana and her team provided, and I would highly recommend them if you find yourself in need in Chester County.

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.

Second DUI/ Highly recommended she is the best!

I was charged with a second DUI last year in Chester county, I had no idea what I was going to do.I knew that this could risk all I had and a big chance to loose it all. The first thing that I looked at was the kind of services, experience and reviews other lawyers offered, I made a bunch of phone ca...lls and everyone seemed to be busy and not really showing any interest, as if I was just one of many people asking questions and didn't care to answer questions...With the Law office of Wana it was different since the beginning, they took their time to answer most of my questions and really show interet, free consultation, what else you can ask for? Wana was able to get me into a special program to do only the minimal of my sentence, saving me time and eventually money, I was afraid I was gonna loose my job, reputation and be unable to pay all my bills... She got me the best outcome possible and for that I can't thank her enough! In a few words: you need a lawyer? Well Wana is the one!

2016 Indictment/ Drug Ring case

During my experience with Wana Saadzoi, she helped me get through a very hard time of my life. I was facing a max sentence of 10-20 years for a drug ring case and was charged with 5 felony's and 2 misdemeanors. We went from district to media courts. When we had the pretrial conference, Wana had file...d at least 10 motions. "Motion to Quash" was one of the motions that was also filed and that was the motion the judge granted. The case on my behalf was the first to be thrown out, out 14 other people. It took about 6 & 1/2 months to have the case thrown out. Wana is a Excellent lawyer and is well worth the money. If I ever need a lawyer for anything else, she will be the first lawyer i'll give a call to and I will highly recommend her to others. -THANKS AGAIN WANA! ! !
