Client Reviews
C. M. September 5, 2024
A true fighter. I had the pleasure of working with Wais on my DUI case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his professionalism and dedication. From the start, he guided me through the process with clear, actionable advice, making a stressful situation much more manageable. Wais was always on point, taking the right actions at the right moments, which saved me both time and resources. The outcome of my case was the best I could have hoped for, and I truly believe it was thanks to his skill and determination. He's a true fighter for his clients, and it's clear he genuinely cares about the people he represents. I highly recommend Wais to anyone in need of legal representation.

Biography

24/7 Emergency Consults for Criminal Matters; (714) 321-9999.

I offer free consultations for personal injury and criminal cases.

As an attorney, I offer strong yet affordable representation to the people of Orange County, Inland Empire and the surrounding areas with criminal defense and personal injury matters. Most of my clients have immigration issues when they are arrested and it takes a special attorney who understands the consequences of criminal charges for immigrants.

I'm a product of our community. I'm an immigrant. I was poor as a child. I had to start working at age 14 so I could help my family. I've had friends who made mistakes and I saw how the authorities violated their rights because they knew they could get away with it. I've seen war and medical procedures. I've had all kinds of battles in life. Yet I've never given up on myself nor others. As a kid, I vowed to become a champion of my community. I dreamt of becoming an attorney and coming back to help as many people as possible. Now I do exactly that, daily.

As a passionate and persuasive speaker, I can aggressively advocate for you. I attended law school specifically to become a defense attorney. I strongly believe that every person is innocent until proven otherwise. Even if someone is not innocent, it does not mean the police or government can violate their Constitutional rights. Two wrongs do not make a right. This is what makes us Americans--we have rights! It's my duty to insure that never changes.

Further yet, if you're injured due to someone else's fault, it's important that you recover for your damages and pain and suffering.

You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to at least meet the most understanding and aggressive attorney for a free consultation.

Career Tecnical Education
This was a 6-week class where I presented the field of criminal justice to high school interns interested in learning more about careers within the legal justice system. We visited courthouses, police stations, probation offices, victim/witness offices and spoke to personnel within each. I also taught them about our Constitutional rights and the sequence of events as it pertains to the criminal justice system from the creation of laws to arrests and final adjudication of the case.

Legal Answers
79 Questions Answered
Q. Is assult and battery with deadly weapon a more serious crime than criminal threats?
A: Yes, it can be. Assault and battery are immediate and have occurred already but a criminal threat is verbal and contact has not yet been made. All are serious offenses which exposes the defendant to jail or prison time. Please contact our office for more specific questions and a consultation. It's best to avoid online chats because it's not confidential.
Q. I need some legal athorities for illegal search and siezure
A: This is a very vague question. More facts are needed. It sounds like you have an academic question rather than a legal question. Without giving too much info online, be more specific. Otherwise, call a local criminal defense attorney for more specific response to your particular matter.
Q. I sold a pack of Swisher Sweets to a minor. Police told me it won't go on my record. What should I do.
A: Call a local attorney or ask the judge to appoint you a public defender if you qualify financially. They'll give you a form to complete in order to find out if you qualify for free defense. But whatever else you do, do not give anymore facts regarding your case on an open forum such as this where officers can read your potential "admission."
