Posted by Richard | March 20, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense
Best decision I ever made hiring him
My wife and I were both indicted in a serious fraud case that exposed her to a five year statutory maximum and me to a guideline range of 97-121 months. I hired Sol after firing the most prominent local criminal attorney. Beyond Sol's background and experience specializing only in federal white colla...

In my eyes Sol is the top White Collar lawyer in the country. He took over my case from a group of inferior lawyers and worked tirelessly for my benefit.

Solomon L Wisenberg's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Sol on a complex, multi-million dollar white collar criminal litigation. He is unquestionably one of the finest criminal defense attorneys in the country. His knowledge of the intricacies of criminal law, attention to detail, and devotion to his clients leads to outstanding results. Without reservation, I give Sol my highest endorsement."
"I have known Sol Wisenberg for all of his professional career (and before, as law school classmates), and have great respect for his intellect and ability as an attorney. Were I to be in need of services in the area in which he practices, he would be one of the first persons to whom I would turn."
"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."
"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"
