I was stopped for speeding and arrested for my 2nd DUI (LOW BAC) July 5th after nearly making it home from Dodger Stadium to San Juan Capistrano without incident. I had also began a new job 3 weeks prior to this arest and was sure I was doomed. Until I spoke to Thomas's (Wei-Hua) partner Ariel who decided I had some wiggle room from spending 60 days in jail. Though Ariel was my point of contact, the day of the trial Thomas Was there and handled my case in court with professionalism and care. I was in no position complain upon the Judges sentencing which allowed my to be back on the road within a month of the trial. These two make a great pair of litigators and I would hope if you find yourself in a similar situation you contact these two immediately to review your case. From Start to finish they gave me the impression that I had nothing to worry about but carrying on with my life. Can't thank them enough other then to STAY OUT OF TROUBLE
The Law Office of Thomas Wang is a solo law firm that focuses on criminal defense litigation. Attorney Thomas Wang is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese.
Vertical representation is the method of representation in which a single lawyer works on your case, from beginning to end. Too often today, bigger law firms assign multiple lawyers to perform a variety of tasks. As such, you may find yourself working with a different lawyer each time your case progresses. While such "horizontal representation" is efficient, it is ill-suited for a criminal case. This is because criminal cases require a special level of trust, rapport, and familiarity between the lawyer and the client. Such a special relationship simply cannot be cultivated unless the lawyer worked with the client every step of the way.
At The Law Office of Thomas Wang, Thomas believes in vertical representation. In fact, Thomas promises that he will personally handle every stage of your case. This way, you can be comfortable and confident that you are given the proper level of attention, care, and expertise.
Reasonable and Transparent Fees
The two main concerns clients have against most lawyers' fees can be summarized as follows: 1) the fee is too high, and 2) some fees were unforeseeable. To address these concerns, Thomas offers the following:
Reasonable Fees
Simply put: Thomas will work with you on legal fees. At The Law Office of Thomas Wang, there are no such thing as standard fees. Instead, Thomas will listen to you problem, evaluate your case, and quote a reasonable fee based on the necessary services. Give Thomas a call, and see the difference for yourself.
Flat Fees
At The Law Office of Thomas Wang, Thomas will quote you a flat fee at the start of representation. This flat fee will cover all services relating to your case, except for trial and appeals. This way, you can take comfort in knowing that there will be no additional, "hidden" fees. If your case requires trial or appeal, Thomas will meet with you and forecast, to the best of his ability, the estimated fee for such additional services. This way, you will NEVER be surprised by a legal bill.

Professional Team
Thomas and Ariel helped me through a DUI case (my first, and it will be my last). They are very knowledgeable and professional. Very fast to respond to questions, always available by phone or text. They helped more than they probably know. I would highly recommend this group for any case.

Thomas Wang
After getting arrested for something I never thought I'd be arrested for, I was going to accept my fate and just fight the case myself. That was naive. Instead, my girlfriend recommended that I get a lawyer to hopefully keep this case off of my record. I was introduced to Mr. Wang through mutual friends, and he helped walk me through the whole process making it as easy as it could get. He managed to help clear my record with me having to do very little. I can not express how grateful I am to Thomas, he is an excellent attorney.

DUI
Thomas Wang is an amazing attorney. I reached out to the website regarding a DUI charge and his colleague Ariel got back to me same day. They started out by listing the various ways they could help me. They were very knowledgeable about the system, judges, and specific courtrooms and how they run. Highly recommend!!

Peace of mind
Mr. Wang was a huge blessing during a very rough patch in my life. He took care of the case and my emotions with his knowledge and compassion. I was able to ask him anything that crossed my mind and get an immediate answer through text. I felt secure knowing no matter what the outcome was that Mr. Wang was in my corner and would explain it all (Which is exactly what happened). I have nothing but respect for this man and the way he runs his practice.

Thanks to Thomas, my charges were ultimately dismissed. I highly recommend Thomas!

Mr. Wang is very professional and very knowledgeable with the laws. Highly recommended his services.
Back in November I hired the services of attorney Wang. From our initial consultation I knew I had made the right choice. Mr. Wang made me feel confident and comfortable that we would win my case. Mr. Wang is very knowledgeable with the laws pertaining to temporary restraining orders. Mr. Wang handled himself very professional and at the end had my case dropped without any further issues. I would highly recommend his services.

Talented Wei-Hua Wang(Thomas)
I found Thomas Wang for DUI. After he attended court trial for me, judge agreed to dismiss my case, if I perform three times of volunteer in 6 months! Also, he is really easygoing. He took care my anxiety by explaining every situation patiently. Well, now I am over satisfied with my result. Thank you Thomas!!

God's help through the hands of an attorney. Who would have guessed?
Mr. Wang listened to every word I had to say and then he started to anticipate my next question. Mr. Wang knew how terrified I am of courts, especially deputies or others in uniform. The penalty was very much in my favor due to Mr. Wang. I do and will recommend this gifted and talented man.

Wonderful Experience
I called Thomas the night before my family members arraignment. He answered immediately and answered all of my questions thoroughly and explained the entire procedure from arraignment to trial. My family thought my family member/defendant was without a doubt going to do jail time because of his prior criminal record. He was arrested for a felony and 2 misdemeanors. Thomas got him out of jail the next day with summary probation only! I'm so grateful we hired Thomas. He did everything you'd expect from a skilled lawyer and more! He even called me after his services to my family member ended to check on him and his progress and follow up on any unanswered questions. He was wonderful and did an amazing job for us! I have recommended him to everyone I know and will definitely hire him in any time of need!
