I received an inquiry involving four different issues while I was waiting for a positive moral character determination. I was not expecting that at all, so I just panicked and felt lost. I talked with a few other attorneys before I reached him out. He was the only lawyer who could calm me down. He explained what I needed to do step by step, clarified what California Bar expects from me as an applicant. I felt that I was in experienced hands. I just received a positive moral character determination today! I definitely made the best choice with retaining him. I would not be able to achieve this without his help. I definitely recommend him to every bar candidate.

I highly recommend Zach Wechsler's firm! Zach is a very thoughtful and seasoned attorney. I hired him last year and was quite pleased with the outcome. Should you need his type of services, there is no one better.

Attorney Zachary Wechsler was prompt in calling me back when I left him a message requesting his services. He assisted me all the way until the ethics case was resolved and he was kind and extremely helpful. Throughout he was efficient, he guided me, he communicated promptly with me by phone and email and was easy to reach directly. He knew the in and outs of ethics and answered all my questions, he directed me correctly in resolving the issue successfully with the California bar. I do not think I could have found a better lawyer.

Let me start by saying Zachary is not the cheapest option. He was the fourth moral character attorney I had called, and he charges an hourly rate rather than a flat fee. With that being said, I do not regret hiring him at all, and would not hesitate to do it again or recommend his services to anyone else in my position. His fees are more than reasonable given his expertise and results. He has a direct working relationship with the California Bar, and knew who the investigator assigned to my Moral Character application was before I could even finish her last name. Every other attorney I spoke to recommended pushing my issue out. Zach was able to get my application that had been in limbo for over a year through in a month, after I passed the bar. I have friends who are still waiting for a date for their informal conference. Although he charges by the hour, that doesn't mean he wastes any time. He bills for exactly what he does and takes exactly enough time to get the job done. His expertise means he'll do in 10 minutes what most attorneys take 30 to finish. He is responsive, and I dont think he ever missed a phonecall. In fact, I think I missed more calls from him than the other way around. Finally, The bar wanted to delay my application another month after my informal conference. Zachary pulled some strings and I had my approval in a little over a week. He literally saved me my job because I had an offer from a firm that wanted me to start ASAP. Again, Mr. Wechsler is the embodiment of the old adage, "you get what you pay for," in the best way possible.

I had an issue with the State Bar that could have likely resulted in suspension or worse! Foolishly I thought I could maybe handle this on my own, after that first call with the trial counsel, I realized i was out of my depth! Just like with any other highly specialized part of the law, you need an expert if you plan on coming out of a sticky situation with your name intact! Zack was caring, he was the farthest thing from judgmental in a tough situation and really came ready to advocate for me. I was so grateful that I retained him. Zack worked with me to put together the best mediation brief, told me everything to do including signing up for the CTA and Ethics school in advance of my mediation so that the court and trial counsel I was taking this very seriously and I wanted to resolve this matter without the mention of trial! Zack wrote a great brief, highlighting every possible factor in mitigation and urging the Trial Counsel to reduce my charges to that of a private reproval. He pushed the trial counsel in the mediation, he pushed the trial counsel in correspondence. And thanks to Zack's tenacity that is exactly where we ended! Zack had a great bedside manner. During the mediation when we were on hold, he told me stories and engaged in convo to try to keep my mind from running through a million bad results. He has followed up with me and was easy to get on the phone or email whenever I needed. This was quite possibly the best decision I have made in my career. And thanks to him mine won't be impacted.

I highly recommend Attorney Zachary Wechsler. He responded in a very timely manner when I had my back against the wall. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, seasoned, attentive, ethical and he guided me in the right direction. I could not have chosen a better attorney for my ethics violation case with the State Bar of California. A very grateful client

In my 5 years of law practice I have needed Mr. Wechsler twice. Once was after hours. Within minutes he called me back on his personal cell phone. I thought I was the only attorney that did that, because I care about my clients as much as Mr. Wechsler cares about his. In the legal industry I admit it is hard to find a specialized, hard working, competent and savvy attorney. However, what's hard to find, what is even farer and fewer between, is an attorney that cares. As a fellow attorney I can tell you that I would recommend anybody, for any problem related to their licensesure to Mr. Wechsler without hesitation. He is the best and brightest California has to offer.

I was officially sworn in two days ago. I wouldn’t have been if not for Zach Weschler. I had some issues in my past that I needed to explain to the bar. Me. Weschler had great experience in this field. He guided me step by step and made sure the process was simple to understand. I would recommend him to anyone having moral character issues. He is affordable especially for the expertise he brings.

How to best describe Zach's representation? I cannot do it justice with just these words but I am going to try. I had a serious Moral Character issue from my long-ago past that I did not disclose to my Law School. It resulted in a lot of personal trauma and damage throughout the years - it was exceptionally painful for me to confront the issue with myself and worse- talk about it with other people, let alone the State Bar. I was terrified. I was convinced that I wasn't going to get admitted not only because of the nature of the offense but also because I did not disclose it to my Law School. I thought I was wasting my time, money, and emotional bandwidth even trying- but I had finished Law School, passed the Bar, and now this was the last step so I just had to move forward. When I first spoke with Zach, he put me at ease right away. He could not, of course, guarantee any results but he instilled confidence in the process and in my chances. He also made me feel better about what I had done (which I had been punishing myself for for several years). He was so supportive from that first phone call and throughout the entire process. There were several points where I wanted to give up, but Zach kept me going! He listened to me and was completely present in every conversation. If he was not sure about something- he would let me know. He would let me know what was an issue and what was not an issue (trust me - I did a great job coming up with about 1000 non-issues). He was more than just an attorney - he was a therapist, a friend, a coach, a guide. He has been doing this for a long time and is extremely experienced. I knew exactly what to expect at every turn. The initial submission was a lot of work (let me be very clear- a lot of work), but there is good reason - Zach anticipates every possible question the Bar could ask, every view they could take of every piece of information and ensures that it is explained, all gaps are closed. The results are that the process, once underway, is relatively smooth - I received only 1 follow-up from the Bar and it was a standard follow-up. Also, while I would have been extremely satisfied and would have recommended Zach's representation no matter what the result, the result even ended up being amazing - I received a positive determination! Feel confident knowing that Zach will fight for you. No matter what your issue is, feel confident that Zach will help you take your best shot!

I honestly cannot thank Mr. Wechsler enough. I was having issues with my moral character application, and it was a stressful situation. Then I retained Mr. Wechsler, and he helped so much. He was always quick to reply, he was up front about everything and very thorough with the work. He is very honest and does not overcharge. I felt a lot more comfortable with him dealing with the state bar. I am so happy that I was referred Mr. Wechsler because I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. Anyone that is having problems with their moral character application, I would definitely recommend retaining Mr. Wechsler!
