Client Testimonials

  • I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ADDISON WAID.

    “I highly recommend Addison Waid. He represented me with complete professionalism and was always accessible for all my questions and concerns.

  • AWESOME TO WORK WITH RIGHT FROM THE START.

    “Addison Waid represented me in an unfortunate legal matter. I didn't know what to expect from an attorney. How was he going to view me as a person and what would the implications of my charges mean for my future. Addison was awesome to work with right from the start. He did not judge me but rather worked with me to understand what I needed to do to accept the charges and what needed to be done to attempt to get the charges dropped. Addison emailed me and spoke with me directly. He treated me with respect but also expected the same from me.

    On the day of court, I had the opportunity to spend time with Addison as we waited for my case to come before the judge. He was an all-out great guy. Better yet, he is a great attorney. My charges were dropped and there was no impact to my record. Thanks Addison.”

  • EXPERIENCE AND SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE

    “I would like to express my gratitude to Addison for the outstanding work done regarding my son's case. With his experience and superior knowledge, he helped eliminate all the charges against my son. As a mother, you definitely want him on your side. With much gratitude and blessings to you Addison. Sincerely, a grateful mother.”

  • HE IS A FABULOUS ATTORNEY

    “Very thankful to have crossed paths with Addison Waid! My son was a month from college graduation when he got into a little bit of trouble. I called Addison after seeing some online reviews, and he spent over an hour on the phone with me before even knowing if I’d hire him. Thankfully, I did! Addison was honest and upfront about the best and worst outcomes, and gave clear guidance on what my son needed to do before court. Addison always responded timely with updates, and thanks to his advice, the case was dismissed with no impact on my son’s record. He is a fabulous attorney who knows the system, but more importantly, he’s an awesome man—honest, understanding, and strong in his convictions. I would refer him to anyone in need of legal services. He is one hell of a great guy and one hell of an attorney. Thank you for everything.”
