I can say with absolute certainty that Mr. Wise doesn't overcharge his clients. I retained him to…read morehelp me with reporting a criminal conduct by a government official and he charged me much less than his regular hourly fee knowing that I was a student and needed help from an experienced attorney. He is a gentleman and his demeanor makes him a very credible attorney in the legal system. He has spoken on important legal subjects and cases in some of the top news media such as Fox News and CBS News. Even a judge commended him after his closing argument in a famous trial in Sacramento. I personally watched all his interviews and was convinced that he knows his job very well. If you're looking for a bulldog, he is not the right person for you, but if you want a credible attorney with extensive knowledge about criminal law and a good reputation with judges, you should not look any further. Mr. Wise's investigator was also very professional and thorough in taking my statement and preparing the report. He had many years of experience as a detective prior to becoming a private investigator and I felt absolutely comfortable telling him the details of what had transpired in my case. I do wish Mr. Wise was more communicative and available when I needed him, however, a few schedule conflicts and the urgency of my matter didn't allow us to complete the case together. I still have very high opinion of Mr. Wise and I do want to inform his potential clients that Mr. Wise is NOT there to take your money and leave. It was the exact opposite in my case. He returned 90% of what I paid him once he realized we cannot complete the case together. I highly recommend him to the NorCal crowd who need help with the criminal justice system up there.

The woman I didn't hire, but who I always had to deal with in regards to my case? I hired you, you robbed me! Previous review: I had David Knoll about ten years ago. He took my money, ten thousand dollars, and did absolutely nothing to help me. He told me he didn't think I would win at trial, but the police report and restraining order in the case had dramatically different and conflicting information! He took my money and failed me.

A member of our family hired Joshua to expunge a false arrest (he was falsely accused of and…read morearrested for domestic violence by his then estranged and now ex-spouse). We sought to have the false arrest removed from his record and shopped for an attorney to assist with this process. While calling around to various criminal defense attorneys and discussing our case, one of them recommended Joshua Kaizuka. We wanted an attorney who specialized in our type of case and Joshua came recommended by a member of his own profession! Joshua was the 4th attorney we had contacted in Sacramento and by far the most knowledgeable about the law with regards to how to successfully expunge a false arrest from a person's record. In our experience, the best qualities of Joshua, and those which set him apart from other attorneys, are: 1) he was honest about his expertise and was fair in the price he charged to take our case (others quoted us 2x - 3x the amount he did and they had less knowledge of the actual process); 2) he delivered on his word (he has integrity and follows through); and 3) he promptly responds to communications (within a day he always responded to phone calls or emails). We also got the sense that Joshua truly cared about our case. Our family member's petition to seal records on a false arrest was granted. Joshua is truly a credit to the law profession. We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Joshua Kaizuka, but don't take our word for it, look at his reviews on Avvo.

Mr. Kaizuka has a great brain, and a good heart. Mr. Kaizuka treated me like a member of his own family, working diligently on my case and communicating clearly with me as needed, and also calming my nerves. He is brilliant, honest, straightforward, hardworking, and charges a fair price. Thanks to Mr. Kaizuka's work, the DA rejected filing any case against me. Trust me and all of the other clients who have posted reviews for Mr. Kaizuka. You are in the best hands with Mr. Kaizuka as your lawyer. Thank you Mr. Kaizuka!
