Works to help the prosecution: BEWARE

Our car got impounded because we got pulled over for no reason in Wyoming. The police asked if we had money in the car and we said yes because we had some Target gift cards. They told us get out while they search our car. Next they brought in a police dog who sniffed all over the car and found a p...air of scissors in the trunk. They said they had been used to cut marijuana. We are old Chinese people that have absolutely nothing to do with drugs. They impounded the car and took us to a local hotel. The sheriff himself took us to one and dropped us off. We had to get our family to drive from California to come get us. Now, after 2 years of making car payments this dirt bag lawyer and his investigator who are all good buds with the local courts agreed to keep our brand new car we had just bought. When we talked to this scumbag (look at his picture and you can tell) he lied and promised how he would get our car back. After spending $10,000 over the last two years we got nothing!!!

Awesome Attorney

I was looking at years in the big house in Wyoming, 4 felonies I honestly was so overwhelmed. I hired an Attorney from Wyoming, he was absolutely no help. This case went on for well over a year with Wyoming Attorney. I fired him hired Ed Wall ( who practices in UT and WY). He came into case had it t...aking care of in a matter of oh.... 6 months. Reduced to one misdemeanor I ended up with 6 mo. Court probation and small fine and had to talk with a drug and alcohol counselor of my choice. Thank You Ed I really appreciate what you did for me. I hope I never have to use him again but if so I consider him my Attorney for life.

Repeat Client

I have worked with Edwin S. Wall on Three occasions (not that I keep committing crimes, its all one) The first ended as it had too. The second, Federal case, Ed was able to get my case dismissed by a legal policy that has been in place for a long time. You just need the right attorney.

Ed is a life saver!

From the first conversation I had with Ed I was very confident in him. I felt as though I had ruined my life and there was no hope, but Ed immediately made me feel differently once he explained his plan of action. Through the process of my trial Ed checked in with me on a regular basis not only to k...eep me up to date with topics regarding my case but to be sure I was maintaining a positive attitude as well. I could never thank Ed enough for doing all he could to resolve my unfortunate situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone, he is the best!

Professional, Personable, and a Winner!

From my first meeting with Ed, I knew he was the attorney I needed to have in order to resolve my federal case. After interviewing other attorneys (and initially hiring another), I chose to hire Ed to represent me in a case that could have potentially ruined my life, and the live's of my loved ones. ... Ed's counsel to me was to stay positive, and continue to resume a normal life while he unravelled the knot tied around me. Ed would call, text, and email me on a regular basis to both check in with case updates, and make sure I was doing my part as his client to maintain a healthy attitude and personal productivity. After the 2.5 year ordeal, the Federal Courts completely dismissed the charges. I owe this solely to Ed and his wok ethic, as he left no stone unturned. Honestly, I have no idea when he had time to sleep! Ed is a proven winner and I highly recommend him.
