"I could not be more pleased with the representation I received from Mr. Washam."
Dear Mr. Wapner,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my feelings as it relates to my experience with your firm. Too often we are all guilty of only speaking up when we are dissatisfied and not giving praise when it is due. Bill Washam was my counsel.
The past year and a half we have all had to pivot to a new way of life and doing things, on top of that I have had the stress of this case hanging over me. I want you to know how important it was to me to have someone like Mr. Washam answer all my questions and respond it such a timely manner. Mr. Washam has a way of explaining the process and options in a very clear and understandable way that helped so much. When speaking with Mr. Washam it was evident to me, he was doing his due diligence, watching all the videos, and putting the time and energy needed in understanding my case. Mr. Washam developed a strategy in defending me and when it came time to present, Bill stayed on point, cited case law, and focused on the task at hand. Mr. Washam took great notes during questioning and handled cross-examination with precision.
When faced with a life event I was solicited by many firms wanting to represent me. However, it is my feeling that when facing something that could have such serious consequences this is not the time to go cheap or look for value. In life, you get what you pay for! Your firm came highly recommended and was definitely worth it. I could not be more pleased with the representation I received from Mr. Washam. If I can be a testimonial in any way for the professionalism I received from Mr. Washam and your firm, please let me know.

"My best decision was the day I hired Terry Wapner and Wapner Jones, PC."
My best decision was not the night I got stopped (of course). My best decision was the day I hired Terry Wapner and Wapner Jones, PC. to represent me. Mr. Wapner took care of me and guided me through the DMV and court hearings. I got a good deal. The blood result was a .15. He did some investigating with my blood test and because of that, I got it reduced to a wet & reckless. Deborah, his office person was kind and helpful also. Thank you!!

"My heartfelt appreciation for your expertise."
I appreciated your advice and representation today. One of my most favorite quotes from Maya A. is...."I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what your did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Personally, today was traumatic for me. You helped me make it through. My heartfelt appreciation for your expertise.
