A True Professional

Mr. Vanwagenen has helped me two times personally defend myself in Riverside County, California with great success. He has also successfully helped a friend of mine when I recomended Mr Van wagenen to her. She was looking at a nine year sentence that didn't come to pass after Mr Vanwagenen stepped i...n to represent her. He is a true professional with "traditional values" and a "heart and soul". He really cares about his clients. This is the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of having represent me or my close friends in any criminal matter. Forget the rest, this guy is the best. A "winner" in every aspect, and he is of the highest caliber of human being created. Thank you Jeffery A. Vanwagenen for all your help.

  • 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.
