Posted by Amr | October 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

This attorney knew what was going on and what to do right away!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I hired this attorney in 2013, Huma Rashid and Raymond Wigell BOTH handled my case, I've had multiple arrests/charges before, and with my previous attorneys, they'd rush to do whatever will get the case done with the quickest so that they don't have to keep coming back. Well, this didn't happen with ...Mr. Raymond Wigell OR Huma Rashid, they also explained the options I had (plea deal, or go to trial, etc). With these Attorneys having SO MANY years of experience, I trusted them with my LIFE to get the matter resolved without being found guilty of 3 counts of Unlawful Acquisition of a Controlled Substance by Fraud, then having to deal with being a convicted felon for the rest of my life (I was about 20 years old when this happened, so I probably wouldn't be able to get a job for my ENTIRE LIFE!!!). Well, the Law Offices of Raymond G. Wigell definitely took a very holistic approach and looked at and challenged EVERY SINGLE thing about my case/evidence/police reports. So Raymond Wigell and Huma Rashid were able to get my 3 counts of Unlawful Acquisition of a Controlled Substance by Fraud DISMISSED, and entered a plea of Guilty to one 1 MISDEMEANOR Count of Deceptive Practices, with 18 months of Misdeamnor Probation including random urine tests and Court Fees and Costs. THIS WAS A SHOCK!!! I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE!!! The attorneys took there sweet time to make sure that they had everything correct that was needed and didn't rush into anything like ALL OTHER LAWYERS, and on top of that, they asked my opinion and what I'd like (if it was possible obviously)! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND both Raym Wigell and Huma Rashid, you did a SUPERB 15/10 STARS!! If I ever need to retain an attorney EVER AGAIN, I WILL NOT think twice about who I'm going with!! It will DEFINITELY be the Law Offices of Raymond G. Wigell, LTD. Very awesome and kept me MORE than well informed about what was going on, and what would be happening on the next court date for example, etc... Thank you guy's!! You're the BEST!

Amazing Lawyer

Huma Rashid recently represented my husband in a case where he was looking at HIGH prison sentence. With all of their hard work and our prayers were answered. Huma always kepted us informed on anything happening with my husbands case. Even if we had the smallest of questions, she will make sure to ...answer back to us or my husband. If there was anything we couldn't comprehend she took the time to explain until we understood. She is very compassionate and professional. I couldn't thank her enough for not giving up on my husbands case. Thank you Huma for everything, Hire Huma Rashid. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Compassionate & Professional

Huma Rashid just recently represented a close family member of mine for charges of Tax Evasion and Fraud. Each charge held a maximum five-year prison sentence. Huma and Raymond Wigell were a true blessing to my family. Huma has such a kind and compassionate demeanor. She never once made my family... member feel defeated or not worthy of a fair sentence. Huma took an enormous amount of time and effort making sure every detail was included in his mitigation packet which was a huge part of the sentencing process. She answered every question he had regardless of how simple it might have seemed. Throughout the process, I had contact with Huma on a few occasions for different requests. Every request was explained thoroughly with a reason behind it. I was fortunate enough to meet Huma in person the day of sentencing. I could tell she was gracious and professional via e-mails, but meeting her in person allowed me to finally meet this astounding woman who helped my family through its most trying time. I have had interactions with other attorneys, both professional and personal and I can tell you not a single one can compare to Huma and Raymond. If you are being faced with charges of a serious crime committed, I highly recommend Ms. Rashid to represent you. We are beyond elated and blessed with the outcome of our personal experience. No prison time was given, rather probation. Please don’t look elsewhere, Ms. Rashid can provide everything you need to get you the results you are looking for.

Thank You Huma for an Amazing Job!!

I am so blessed to have had Huma Rashid represent me in court. I am a healthcare professional that was indicted under two class 2 felonies for theft for allegedly stealing hours from the hospital that I worked at. Since I met Huma on day one, she's been very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. ...My fears of going to prison and losing my license would've made me lose my mind had it not been for Huma's way to calm me down and keep me positive. Huma's assertiveness to look at every piece of discovery and, together with the defense team, plan out a defense strategy, kept me strong and feeling positive. Huma was on time for every court date, and always informed me with great detail as to what was going on. She never once hurried me when asking her questions. Huma has a way with words. Both through speaking and writing, it is obvious that she was born to do this. Through the State's discovery and the discovery that we subpoenaed from the hospital, many months and court dates went by. My level of anxiety decreased with every court date, as Huma reassured me we had a good defense and were in good shape. Ultimately, the amazing mitigation packet that she put together with key documents we had from discovery, were submitted to the state. The State's attorney agreed to drop both felony charges to one misdemeanor with probation!! Also, this awesome result allowed my license to remain active, and avoid suspension!! My family and I are so grateful to Huma for her expertise, knowledge, professionalism, and assertiveness to get the job done! Thank you Huma!! Because of your hard work and dedication to my case, I'm able to be alongside my family and continue working in my field!! God bless you.
