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.

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.

Excellent

Mr. Webber assisted me with finding a productive and fair resolution to my case. His thoroughness, attention to detail, knowledge, and presentation was far above what I could have hoped for. I will highly recommend Mr. Webber to assist people I know that may fall into legal difficulties. I felt he... was easy to communicate with, and responded to me quickly. A felt able to share any possibly relevant details about my life with Mr Webber, which he was able to comb through and present in a format that produced the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Paul Webber.

Paul Webber, a 5 star lawyer.

Paul Webber was an excellent attorney to deal with. He represented me in a case when I was wrongly stopped by a police officer wrongly resulting in a DUI, and arrest. I was very quickly contacted by Paul, saying that he was an appointed attorney for my case, and shortly after, met with him. Paul was ...very professional, and easy to talk to. He knew that this situation can often be scary and overwhelming, and assured me that he will do his best for me. He was very knowledgeable about possible consequences that would arise from a DUI conviction, but also gave me some of the better outcomes that were a possibility as well. It was pleasure meeting with Paul on that occasion and he said he will keep in contact with me and we would me next at my court hearing. Before that hearing, he gave me a call just to remind me not to miss that hearing, and informed me of some of the research he had done and information on what we could expect at the court hearing. One of the best scenarios he said that he could give me was to have the conviction lowered to a less serious conviction then a DUI. When I had gotten to court that day, Paul came over to me with joy on his face and sat down with me. He said that there would be a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds of a bad stop. I could not believe this news since the best that I had expected was to have some sort of reckless endangerment, or other conviction. We started the court hearing and Paul said that he moves to have the case dismissed on grounds of a bad stop, which both the judge and county attorney agreed to. After that, I signed some papers and it was done. Before I left Paul said it was a pleasure working for me on my case, and was delighted that he could achieve the best possible outcome for me in this case, and I thanked him for all of his hard work, and left the court room feeling just dumbfounded on what had just happened. Paul Webber achieved the absolute best possible situation for me in this case which was complete dismissal of the case. Paul is and extraordinary lawyer, with a great head on his shoulders, and will do the best that he possibly can for you.
