About:

Wais Azami has been a criminal and DUI lawyer since day one of becoming an attorney. He never had the heart to put people away as a prosecutor in order to gain his legal experience. Instead, he always found other criminal defense attorneys as mentors during the early years to effectively and knowledgeably assist his clients. This kept his conscience clean and did not shortchange his clients. His office is centrally located to all of the Orange County courts: Harbor Justice Center-Newport Beach; North Justice Center-Fullerton; West Justice Center-Westminster; and Central Justice Center-Santa Ana. Being an OC criminal lawyer, he is very familiar with the Courts, the Judges and the Deputy District Attorneys. This knowledge allows Mr. Azami to traverse the legal minefield and consistently look for the safest passage towards the best resolution for his clients. As a zealous advocate, Mr. Azami has handled everything from minor misdemeanor offenses to the most serious felony strike cases. Regardless of how minor the charge might be, it still has serious repercussions as far as life goes. Criminal charges can affect immigration status, ability to keep and/or obtain employment, obtain rental lease agreements, employment promotions, professional licenses and college admissions to name a few. Thus, it’s important to start with the right attorney and from the beginning. A criminal and DUI lawyer who understands the stakes and is relentless.

"Exceptional Legal Representation I cannot recommend this lawyer highly enough! From our very first conversation, he immediately put my mind at ease and significantly relieved the immense stress I was feeling about my court case. He masterfully navigated the entire legal process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I not only received an incredibly favorable conviction deal, but he also managed to get my case completely dropped. This outcome exceeded all my expectations! What truly sets him apart is his commitment to his clients; he personally attended court for me throughout the process, which was a huge comfort. On top of all this, his fees were remarkably competitive compared to other lawyers in the area, offering outstanding value for such top-tier legal services. If you're looking for a highly effective, compassionate, and reasonably priced lawyer, look no further. He truly delivers fantastic results!"
