Trustworthy, knowledgeable and very professional

I could not have been happier I hired Mr. Webber for an assault charge in the in the County of Wenatchee Washington. Mr. Webber from the very first conversation gained my confidence and trust in what was a pretty complex assault case. He took the case over from a previous attorney and got right to wo...rk with having to quickly present in court. His courtroom presence and confidence and quick thinking was stellar and well respected by the prosecutor(s) and judge(s) we had to work with. His knowledge and understanding of the law is stellar and has a great ability to communicate the law in a very easy way of understanding. From having the unfortunate experience with a previous attorney, I cannot help but think Mr. Webber can take on any case and provide a favorable outcome as he did for me. Again, I could not be happier I found and hired Mr. Webber. I highly recommend him for any legal case you may have.

Favorable Outcome

I hired Paul after I received a reckless driving ticket for driving excessively fast (over 60mph) in a 30mph zone on a motorcycle. I was never clocked at any speed, the officer only used his judgment from what he saw through his rearview mirror as I rode past him. Paul was able to negotiate with the ...prosecutor and compromised on a judgment of 2nd degree negligent driving and a $550 fine. The judge had even mentioned that usually the compromise consist of taking a driving class on top of the reduced charge but Paul was able to negotiate the terms without me having to do it. I was very pleased with this outcome as I could have faced jail time, higher fines and mandatory license suspension. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone seeking representation where you know an attorney will work for the best possible outcome in your favor.

Good advice, great outcome

I was in an accident where conditions of the road were primarily to blame. No one was hurt in the collision and a state trooper eventually showed up and gave me a citation stating that the vehicle was driven too fast for conditions. After I hired Paul he took care of getting all the necessary informa...tion from the police report, which he advised me was easily dismissed as the citation did not have any evidence whatsoever. Paul's advice was to contest the hearing and the citation ended up being dismissed. I was impressed with the reasoning and advice he provided through a couple of phone calls and was I'm glad I could rely on his experience and knowledge.

Best lawyer in Wenatchee!

Paul represented me in a traffic violation as a public defender; however, he fought for me as if I had paid for a top dollar attorney. My case was not easy as it involved the testimonies of not one, but two police officers. Paul went the extra mile to prove discrepancies and false statements made by ...the officers which resulted in a not guilty verdict at trial. I say that Paul is the best lawyer in Wenatchee because I have paid for attorneys in the past and nobody has worked harder for me than he has. He is well versed in the law, caring, persistent and well spoken. I am highly recommending him to anyone.

Extremely Caring, Well-Versed Lawyer

I recently had Paul's help on a traffic related case and he went above and beyond to ensure my case was going to be handled properly so I didn't have to stress about it. Was always very helpful and available and treated me like family. Would recommend to anyone in the Wenatchee or Chelan county area....
