Delivered When It Mattered

I was stopped for speeding and arrested for my 2nd DUI (LOW BAC) July 5th after nearly making it home from Dodger Stadium to San Juan Capistrano without incident. I had also began a new job 3 weeks prior to this arest and was sure I was doomed. Until I spoke to Thomas's (Wei-Hua) partner Ariel who d...ecided I had some wiggle room from spending 60 days in jail. Though Ariel was my point of contact, the day of the trial Thomas Was there and handled my case in court with professionalism and care. I was in no position complain upon the Judges sentencing which allowed my to be back on the road within a month of the trial. These two make a great pair of litigators and I would hope if you find yourself in a similar situation you contact these two immediately to review your case. From Start to finish they gave me the impression that I had nothing to worry about but carrying on with my life. Can't thank them enough other then to STAY OUT OF TROUBLE

Professional Team

Thomas and Ariel helped me through a DUI case (my first, and it will be my last). They are very knowledgeable and professional. Very fast to respond to questions, always available by phone or text. They helped more than they probably know. I would highly recommend this group for any case.

Thomas Wang

After getting arrested for something I never thought I'd be arrested for, I was going to accept my fate and just fight the case myself. That was naive. Instead, my girlfriend recommended that I get a lawyer to hopefully keep this case off of my record. I was introduced to Mr. Wang through mutual frie...nds, and he helped walk me through the whole process making it as easy as it could get. He managed to help clear my record with me having to do very little. I can not express how grateful I am to Thomas, he is an excellent attorney.

DUI

Thomas Wang is an amazing attorney. I reached out to the website regarding a DUI charge and his colleague Ariel got back to me same day. They started out by listing the various ways they could help me. They were very knowledgeable about the system, judges, and specific courtrooms and how they run. Hi...ghly recommend!!

"Wei-Hua Wang aka Thomas Wang is an amazing criminal defense attorney. One aspect of a good criminal defense attorney is having good relations with prosecutors. Thomas has great relations with prosecutors in San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles. He's able to leverage those relations to get his client the best deal possible. However, he is also not afraid to take matters to trial. His trial skills are unmatched. Definitely recommend him."
