I was arrested while driving a motorcycle for a second DUI within 10 years and had a blood alcohol level .14%. Mr. Wasson was able to win the DMV Admin Per Se hearing and an acquittal on the 23152(b) Vehicle Code count. He saved me and my family from from financial disaster if I lost my license and my job as truck driver.

The CHP arrested me for running a stop sign, improper turn, and DUI. My blood alcohol level was a .10%. Mr. Wasson took my case to trial and won a not guilty on both DUI and driving with a BAC in excess of .08%. I highly recommend him and have done so in the past.

Because of Attorney Wasson I was acquitted of DUI at trial where two CHP officers testified I drove the wrong way on a one-way street. My BAC was .09%. Mr. Wasson's cross-examination of the officers was the main street for the not guilty verdict.

Mr Wasson is THE BEST!!!!

I was in so much trouble until Mr. Wasson got ahold of my case. He is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy person I have met since my father passed. He handled my case with compassion and expertise. I could not have been happier. In reading the bad review posted prior, this is surely a slam from a competitor.

Overall
OUTSTANDING attorney

In January 2010, I was arrested and falsely accused of domestic violence on my soon-to-be ex-wife at the time. No witnesses, no evidence. I was originally assigned a public defender that really didn't seem to care one way or another what happened. I had A LOT on the line (career, kids, my perfect record, etc). I wasn't willing to gamble my life with a public defender. I researched attorneys and found Mr. Wasson. His vast experience in law from all areas got me hooked. After consulting with him, he decided to take on the challenge. He immediately fixed one huge problem caused by the mandatory restraining order, I could not see my two daughters. He took that as priority one and had the judge change the orders to allow me to see my kids before he dealt with anything else. During the trial, Mr. Wasson performed phenominally. After about a 20 minute deliberation, I was found not guilty. Mr. Wasson took my case personally, as he does with all of his cases. He was respectful to my family and me and treated me like a friend, not a client. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wasson to anyone that needs an OUTSTANDING attorney to find the truth and fight for it.
