Santa Ana, California, Family Law & Criminal Defense Attorney
Compassion, Knowledge and Experience
When you think about the qualities you want in a lawyer, compassion, knowledge and experience are probably at the top of your list. Of course, you want your lawyer to have the skill and experience to successfully resolve your legal problems and with the best possible result. However, you also want someone who understands what you're going through -- someone who has the experience and understanding to guide you through what may very well be the most difficult and unpleasant period in your life and someone who will stand up to the other side and fight for your rights. If so, then you need the Law Offices of Werno & Associates and we are here to help. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.
Our Approach
At the Law Offices of Werno & Associates, we treat our clients with respect and dignity. We understand that you are quite likely going through a difficult experience and we will take the time to get to know you and your concerns. Further, we know that your legal matters are serious business and we treat them with the utmost attention to detail and care so that we work to obtain the result that you really want.
In addition to a law degree, attorney Don Werno has a Master's degree in Psychology, and that background makes him a more effective counselor and attorney at law. He will listen carefully to your concerns, and will describe all the options that are available to you. He will also recommend a course of action that he believes is appropriate, but ultimately recognizes that the decision is yours -- he will not push you into accepting a settlement with which you are not comfortable or make a decision that should be yours to make. It's your legal matter, and we work for you.
