      Review Morgan Wais

      Recommended for DUI representation

      Posted by

      I went to trial for a breathalyzer refusal and won. This is a very tough thing to beat and Morgan got me through this case. The case was strung out over a year but Morgan remained committed and determined to see this through even though the chances of winning a refusal once it has gone to trial are slim. I am very greatful for the outcome of this case.

      At a time of tremendous anxiety and fear for your future, it is so important you find someone who is competent with strong skills and solid experience, as I found in Morgan Wais. There is no question of the quality, legal advice I received in my DUI case. Morgan was driven to create the very best opportunity I could possibly receive. At the same time he gave me timely feedback on changes in my case and helped me deal with the crushing burden of this process. This guy is a rising star in his field of legal work. If it is a Domestic Violence, DUI, or any legal matter in Morgan Wais's field, you will receive quality, legal representation with integrity.

      I know all 5's seems like a dream come true, but it's the truth. Morgan was everything I could want in an Attorney and more! Everybody does stupid things and we all need a bit of help sometimes and Morgan was there for me! He was honest, forthcoming, and understanding. Get Morgan or anyone at his firm and you won't regret it!

      Steven Woods, Litigation Attorney on Jan 21, 2015
      Relationship: Supervised lawyer

      There are many ways to judge the quality of a lawyer, and Morgan scores high in all of them. He has amassed a great deal of courtroom and trial experience in his career, and achieved remarkable results. But beyond that, he is a great person in general. I know this firsthand because Morgan began his career at my office in Wenatchee. His work and results were exemplary and we were sorry to see him leave, although we understood his desire to return to his roots. If you need a lawyer that will listen to you, fight for you, and care about the result he gets for you, give Morgan a call.

      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      Morgan and I were recently opposing counsel on a case that was tried to a jury. Morgan was brought in to work on the case shortly before we went to court, and his experience and skill in the courtroom were evident. Based on this experience, I believe anyone would be fortunate to have Morgan representing them before a jury.

As a fellow member of the National College for DUI Defense, Morgan has committed to staying at the top of his game in the areas most likely to help his clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Morgan to friends and conflicts. I am proud to call him a colleague.
