Zachary Drew Wechsler

As you can imagine, when learning that my moral application was submitted for additional review and investigation, I was deeply concerned because my law license is my family's livelihood. To say I lost several nights of sleep is an underestimated. I tried unsuccessfully to resolve the issue directly ...with the investigator. This was a mistake. Just because you are an existing or aspiring attorney does not mean that you have ability to effectively resolve moral investigations with the California Bar. After calling several places and speaking to a few attorneys, I chose Zach for the following reasons: (1) his professional experience including a 4-year term on the Committee of Bar Examiners and also serving as deputy attorney general for California; (2) his incredible responsiveness (something completely foreign to the other attorneys I spoke to); (3) his formulation of a strategy for resolution based upon the unique circumstances of my case as opposed to some generalized "cookie-cutter" strategy; and (4) his unwavering commitment to instill calm and confidence in his clients through perhaps one of the most difficult processes an attorney may go through in their professional career. After thoroughly evaluating my case, Zach made several recommendations in anticipation of preparing a response to the investigator. I yielded to his knowledge and expertise. The matter was successfully resolved, even beyond my expectations. If you are facing an investigation, my recommendation as a fellow attorney is to simply stop, contact Zach and let him guide you through this complicated process. Do not attempt to do it yourself. I am so fortunate to have found Zach. Me and my family are forever deeply grateful to Zach for what he has done for us.

As an attorney myself, I have a little more than average insight into the practice of law, and fellow attorneys. When I had a problem that was a terrible, complex, and extremely troubling, I knew who to turn to: Zachary Drew Wechsler! Mr. Wechsler, helped me resolve my case efficiently, effectively,... and professionally. What also sets Mr. Wechsler apart from other attorneys is he really-listens, and has a sincere and authentic care for his clients. Mr. Wechsler is an asset to the legal profession, and I am proud to have him as "my attorney." I very HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wechsler. You will not find anyone more qualified/knowledgeable and considerate in his important and professional area of practice.

Attorney Zachary Wechsler was prompt in calling me back when I left him a message requesting his services. He assisted me all the way until the ethics case was resolved and he was kind and extremely helpful. Throughout he was efficient, he guided me, he communicated promptly with me by phone and emai...l and was easy to reach directly. He knew the in and outs of ethics and answered all my questions, he directed me correctly in resolving the issue successfully with the California bar. I do not think I could have found a better lawyer.

I honestly cannot thank Mr. Wechsler enough. I was having issues with my moral character application, and it was a stressful situation. Then I retained Mr. Wechsler, and he helped so much. He was always quick to reply, he was up front about everything and very thorough with the work. He is very hones...t and does not overcharge. I felt a lot more comfortable with him dealing with the state bar. I am so happy that I was referred Mr. Wechsler because I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. Anyone that is having problems with their moral character application, I would definitely recommend retaining Mr. Wechsler!

How to best describe Zach's representation? I cannot do it justice with just these words but I am going to try. I had a serious Moral Character issue from my long-ago past that I did not disclose to my Law School. It resulted in a lot of personal trauma and damage throughout the years - it was... exceptionally painful for me to confront the issue with myself and worse- talk about it with other people, let alone the State Bar. I was terrified. I was convinced that I wasn't going to get admitted not only because of the nature of the offense but also because I did not disclose it to my Law School. I thought I was wasting my time, money, and emotional bandwidth even trying- but I had finished Law School, passed the Bar, and now this was the last step so I just had to move forward. When I first spoke with Zach, he put me at ease right away. He could not, of course, guarantee any results but he instilled confidence in the process and in my chances. He also made me feel better about what I had done (which I had been punishing myself for for several years). He was so supportive from that first phone call and throughout the entire process. There were several points where I wanted to give up, but Zach kept me going! He listened to me and was completely present in every conversation. If he was not sure about something- he would let me know. He would let me know what was an issue and what was not an issue (trust me - I did a great job coming up with about 1000 non-issues). He was more than just an attorney - he was a therapist, a friend, a coach, a guide. He has been doing this for a long time and is extremely experienced. I knew exactly what to expect at every turn. The initial submission was a lot of work (let me be very clear- a lot of work), but there is good reason - Zach anticipates every possible question the Bar could ask, every view they could take of every piece of information and ensures that it is explained, all gaps are closed. The results are that the process, once underway, is relatively smooth - I received only 1 follow-up from the Bar and it was a standard follow-up. Also, while I would have been extremely satisfied and would have recommended Zach's representation no matter what the result, the result even ended up being amazing - I received a positive determination! Feel confident knowing that Zach will fight for you. No matter what your issue is, feel confident that Zach will help you take your best shot!
