TestimonialsFEDERAL FELONY POSSESSION OF A FIREARM "Dear Vata: I am writing you this letter to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you Vata, I would be sitting in federal prison, with no hope of ever having a chance at life. And for that I will be forever greatful, and in your debt. You gave me hope and inspired me to think outside the box. I had resigned myself to the fate I believed was my only option - which was prison. Now I am sitting here, at home, on my laptop, waiting till time to go to work...I have been around the court system enough to know that folks like me just do not get blessed with such a skilled attorney, willing to go that extra mile for their client. You didn’t settle for less, you fought for what you believed in, which was me." - C.H. “I was privileged to be at the sentencing hearing this afternoon for C.H. In the thirty years I’ve been able to do this kind of work, I have gone to more than a few of these. This was the first time in all those years that the Prosecutor not only did not oppose a Motion for downward departure – he supported it! ...Vata did an incredible job of presenting it. To say I was impressed would be an incredible understatement.” - Clinical Psychologist, PhD, defense expert |

FEDERAL ARMED ROBBERY AND A FELON IN POSSESSION WITH AN ENHANCEMENT UNDER ACCA
"Attorney Edari: When I got popped, I gave up, I knew I was alone, and I was going to let the court system slam me....But then you, a total stranger, stepped in and slapped me out of my stupor. You told me 'we can make the best out of this bad situation.' And by seeing your attitude of not willing to bend or break, you gave me back my courage and self respect. Now I can man up and deal with this with pride...you saw what so many others failed to see. They saw a washed up junkie who had no respect for the law...but you saw a cry for help....You will always be in my book of people who I would go to battle for. Those who fight for me are those who have earned my respect and loyalty. You are the positive for me in this negative. Without you I would have given up a long time ago..."

FEDERAL BRIBERY CONSPIRACY
"Attorney Edari: I’ll never forget the week I was to be sentenced and how terrified I was....I called you because I knew you would give me the right advise...I’m not sure what would have happened if not for your comforting advise. As you know I worked in the court system and have worked with many attorneys. Only a handful of 'seasoned' attorneys have your brilliant insight and sense of confidence that you possess."

FEDERAL CONTRABAND CIGARETTE TRAFFICKING AND MONEY LAUNDERING CONSPIRACY
"Dear Vata: The 2-3 years before you started representing me, I went through 3 attorneys that never even knew anything about my case. It seemed like within a couple months you knew as much as it took the other attorneys 4 years to learn....I think the most important thing you did for me and my family was give us hope. My other attorneys were always talking plea bargain and talking about how many years I could get. You always believed I was innocent and I could tell you really felt that way and you were going to fight like hell to prove it."

STATE DRUG TRAFFICKING
"Ms. Edari: I just thought I would send this card to show my appreciation for the service you’ve rendered to me. As I read the motion you filed, it must have took hours of preparation. It really uplifted my spirits to see your efforts in helping me to get back into the courts."
