A letter describing the services received by Mr Wisenberg.

December 18, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Michael. I had to retain Solomon Wisenberg to represent myself in a case where my wife and I were the defendants facing charges brought against us from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. We were required to have separate attorneys. I chose Mr Wise...nberg. If you ever find yourself in these circumstances, words cannot begin to describe the emotions of fear, dread, and uncertainty one feels. You are heading into completely unknown territory, and you have no idea what lay ahead. My whole world and that of my young family was turned upside down. I wanted to write just a few sentences about Mr. Wisenberg, but that would not give him the credit that he should so deservedly have. In my experience with attorneys, Mr. Wisenberg is by far the best at what he does. He answers the phone when you call him. If he is not available, and a message is left, he calls you back promptly. When I was going through that extremely strenuous and testing time, he was always there to offer counsel. If I was feeling entirely exhausted and overwhelmed, Mr. Wisenberg would be so encouraging and take the extra time with me until I felt more positive and certain about the upcoming proceedings. He was always straightforward with all information, and would never “sugar-coat” anything as to give me unrealistic expectations. Mr. Wisenberg also seems to be, in my humble opinion, one of the sharpest minds I have ever observed. His ability to anticipate and predict his opponents’ moves is staggering; it’s equivalent to watching an accomplished chess player. Mr. Wisenberg worked intensely and tirelessly for myself and my family. He produced extremely favorable results, and did so with his dexterity and expertise. I know our situation would not have had the same outcome without him leading the way. This past spring, my wife, myself and our four children went to a Phillies game. After getting in our seats and watching our team play, I realized that if it was not for Sol, we would not have been there all together. I made it clear to him that the only outcome I needed was that my family would stay together, and he made it work. In closing, I truly hope you never in the need of the services of Mr. Wisenberg. But if you find that you are in trouble, I would advise to pay him, do everything he says to do, and somehow try to get some sleep at night. The most honest thing I can say that I truly believe is someone you really can trust. Yours truly, Michael

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sol Wisenberg is one of the top complex white collar criminal defense attorneys in the country. If an individual or business is exposed to federal criminal inquiries or charged with federal crimes the consequences can be severe. Mr. Wisenberg's knowledge and experience are an invaluable asset to clients. He knows the entire process from witness representation to trial. I highly endorse this lawyer's work."

Consumer protection lawyer | Dec 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Sol Wisenberg for almost 20 years, starting when he and I were young federal prosecutors in Texas charged with investigating (and prosecuting) violations of various banking regulations and statutes in a hectic time period commonly known as the "savings & loan scandal." We have maintained our friendship over the years, for which I am grateful. I recall visiting with Sol about his experiences working for the Office of the Independent Counsel and later, when he joined a blue chip DC-based firm. Sol has always been focused on the tasks at hand, keenly interested in his clients' needs, and the legal issues presented. He is very bright, a good listener, a good speaker, passionate in his work, and brings a degree of seasoning and maturity that few others share. I strongly endorse this lawyer's work without hesitation"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
