"I endorse this lawyer. We worked together on a complicated criminal matter involving immigration issues/consequences. Mr. Wieselman was able to prevail in the case with a resolution minimizing the immigration impact on his client. I would not hesitate referring a criminal case to him."
"Jacob Wieselman is a seasoned and savvy attorney. He has had success in many different venues. Recently, Mr Wieselman won a stunning victory in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, vindicating the right of his client to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. When attorneys uphold the Constitutional rights of their clients, they advance the cause of freedom for all of us. I commend Mr Wieselman for his victory in this appeal. I will not hesitate to refer clients to Mr Wieselman in the future, for I know they will be in very good hands."
