Positive review for Minh Wai

Minh was very generous with his time and consistently gave me his full attention. His ethical approach to law practice made working with him a feel-good experience while also seeing justice served and getting a fair shake for what I was into. He genuinely strives for fairness overall and was still ...a strong advocate for what I wanted. Next time i need representation, I know who I'm going to call.

VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!!

I was over my head in debt due to medical bills and an auto accident. Quiet frankly I thought I would never be debt free. When I meet Minh I didn’t have much but not only was he willing to work with me but went above and beyond what I would have ever expected. Minh was very helpful with every step of... the process of the bankruptcy and even help me to get my license back. Now after only 1 year after my bankruptcy, me and my significant-other are having a home built using my credit as well. I can’t say enough good things about the job Minh did for me so I highly recommend him if your looking for a lawyer that cares to represent you. THANKS AGAIN MINH!!!!

Excellent Personal Injury Lawyer

I was in a bad car accident, and hired Atty Wai to represent us. It was a hit and run and we were having trouble getting our insurance to pay. He did not rush for a quick settlement with the insurance company, but made sure we got medical care and physical therapy and were on the way to wholeness b...efore settling. He was able to get all our bills reduced, the bills paid, plus extra for pain and suffering. He never rushed us, answered any phone call, kept us updated and was courteous and professional. We could not have asked for a better lawyer.

A Trustworthy Attorney - puts your needs FIRST!

Attorney Wai has the clients needs as first rate. Previously in a car accident we had a big name lawyer -- who settled for a measly few hundred dollars to finish the case quickly. Not Atty Wai! He worked with us to be sure we got the proper medical care to get well, not just get a settlement and e...nd up disabled. I could hardly walk and since I didn't have health insurance was about to settle for being disabled but Atty Wai worked out for a physical therapist to see us until I got well and could work again! He got our car paid for, pain and suffering plus all the medical bills. Couldn't ask for a better attorney! God bless attorney Minh Wai!

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.
