I am a criminal defense attorney myself, and I know when someone is exceptional at what they do. Recently, I had the pleasure to interact with Richard regarding a complicated issue on a case. He was prompt and very clearly well-informed. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I needed a lawyer who could help my case who is knowledgable in the field, affordable, and can explain things to me simple. Richard saved me time and appeared on my behalf, filed paperwork, and He & His team were very accessible when I had questions! I had missed a deadline which I needed to request an extension in person - Richard was able to help me by showing up in person, filing the extension and I was out the building in 5 minutes - Thank you Richard 10/10 His office is just outside the Irvine Spectrum and easy to find.

In 1994, when I first immigrated to the U.S., I was having a drink. I was involved in a violent incident and hired a lawyer, but I suffered a lot and lost a lot of money because the case was handled incorrectly. After that, I distrusted lawyers. But this case made me respect lawyers. It's all thanks to Richard Wagner. He handled the case diligently and accurately. Thank you again.

If I could give Richard Wagner more stars, I would. He was professional and honest from the start. I did not feel pressured once, rather heard. He was timely and efficient and I got the outcome in Court that I was promised. Really appreciative of how promptly he handled my case. A big thank you to him and his staff!!

Richard was extremely professional, and helped me clear a warrant and defuse a situation I thought would result in definite jail time and large fines. Definitely a solid lawyer for anyone looking.

My case was a non-criminal and non-DUI case with the DMV. While it was a relatively straightforward case, it was a challenging time of my life. Mr. Wagner was a steady and positive presence of support through the process. He was promptly responsive and generous with his time in response to my questions about my case. I am very glad that I had his assistance through this process, due to his extensive knowledge of the DMV and their procedures, proactiveness, and organization. Most importantly, with Mr. Wagner’s support, my case ended in a great outcome.

5 star service to Richard Wagner and his law office. From the beginning, end, and even after. My case was important and difficult to me, but Mr.Wagner walked me threw every process, went to appear in court for me, and helped me achieve the best deal with a difficult judge/court house. I spoke with about 25 law firms and most of them I didn’t get the opportunity to speak with my defender. Richard Wagner spoke to me the first day I called gave me the confidence and knowledge that he understands my case clearly and is the best man for it I can trust. This is a lawyer that cares about his people, works hard and is determined to get you the best outcome, and overall really good price compared to most other law firms. Thank you Mr. Richard Wagner, I will always highly recommend you to anybody I know in need of your help and or great services.
