More than happy!

I hired Mr. Waechter’s firm to represent me in a moving violation case which had a possible hefty fine & points. They were very proactive & accommodating as I live out of town & didn’t have my own transportation to get the court. After getting one postponement due to hiring them late in the game they... got my case completely dismissed!! I’m ecstatic!! They are top-notch! I would highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Waechter handled both of my children's traffic matters and got excellent outcomes. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Highly recommended professionals

I highly recommend this lawyer. He was able to conclude my case with a win and I was able to obtain a drivers license with no points and no jail time. Very professional and accurate.

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.
