As far as I'm concerned Ed Welbourne is the Jason Bourne of the courthouse!

I had a domestic dispute with a caregiver at my home that resulted in the need for the police to come and remove the despondent ex-employee. When the Fullerton police arrived they barged in began questioning me as if I was some criminal (I'm a C5 quadriplegic with no left arm) I was in a very unnatural painful position and lacking water of which they made no effort to help me with. The police, as they grilled me with the same questions repeatedly, began searching my house, top to bottom, finally after searching every room cupboard and closet they went into my gun room and decided to take all the guns and ammunition left out in open sight which amounted to 5 long guns and several boxes of ammunition and told me the reason for taking them was because for the fear of my despondent ex-employee from coming back and harming me. After hours of holding a keeping my sister from helping me, under supervision they finally let her put clothes on me position me comfortably and give me water. I instantly felt better. They kept us both in my room while searching the house. After the bomb squad left they gave me an incorrect incomplete list of what they were taking. The next day I called a long time friend and attorney and told him my horrible experience the night before. He spoke with another friend and attorney and they both agreed that the man for the job was definitely Ed Welbourn! I call his office and made an appointment. During my meeting I met the whole team of C W S Attorneys at Law. They explained how they worked and the kind of work they do, how long they've been lawyers and what they needed from me. I told them what happened and gave them the entire 1 paper they gave me. Mr. Welbourne and Stokke looked up my case and that's how I found out that the police had charged me with 4 felony counts one of which was possession of an automatic weapon and one of an explosive device as well as a silencer and illegal .50BMG ammunition. Ed had explained that he would have to look into the case fully before he could decide if he could help me. I assured him that I had never had anything of the sort and that due to their inexperience and incompetence they were wrong. Ed and Al told me they'd take my case. They told me the cost and considering the charges, my condition and the consequences I agreed. I have to say, as I've said before in my condition jail wasn't an option and for a very long time, I was scared, even though there was no way I was in the wrong. Also I have to say the cost to me was exceptionally reasonable! This long story short I appeared in court once and for almost a year, Ed appeared for me every time! He got the case thrown out of felony court into a lesser court and from there appearance after appearance he kept showing and proving that not only were the Fullerton Police in the wrong but so were the charges. In the end Ed Welbourne reduced this case to nothing, nada, ZIP! It's over and sealed as if nothing happened! I'm now in the process of getting everything returned that was confiscated by Fullerton Police Department. As far as I'm concerned Ed Welbourne is the Jason Bourne of the courthouse! Thank you Ed! Thank you Al! Thank you Cate!

I have never met an attorney like Ed before; he is truly one of a kind.

First let me start by saying that I don’t normally write recommendations. However, I truly believe that Ed Welbourn deserves to be recognized for his hard work and excellent representation. I believe he went above and beyond what any other attorney would have done for me. My case was not a high profile case and to many people they may have thought it was no big deal. But being the defendant to me it was huge. He made me feel like I was important and that I mattered. I have had attorneys in the past and not always good experiences. However, Ed restored my faith in the legal system. He made me feel like I was more than just a dollar sign and that my feelings mattered. He never gave up even when I thought there was nothing left to do and I was destined to stay in jail he would not take no for an answer and he was able to get me out when I thought there was no hope. I have never met an attorney like Ed before he is truly one of a kind. I would without a doubt hire him again if I ever needed representation. Hopefully, I never will. I will recommend Mr. Welbourn to anybody I know that needs a good attorney. He has integrity that is rarely seen anymore. Thank you so much for all that you did for me. You are truly appreciated.

I am strongly recommend Mr. Welbourn to need an excellent attorney to defense your criminal case.

Mr. Welbourn is very excellent in criminal defense. I had 2 attorneys fighting my 3 strikes case but did not feel good about the outcome. A different attorney referred me to him to take over the case. I was glad I went with Mr. Welbourn for his professional knowledge of the law, his excellent ability as a trial lawyer. My case went as far as jury trial. If convicted of all counts I could face a max sentence of 25 years to life. Mr. Welbourn fought hard to win the case with excellent result, a misdemeanor with a sentencing of 60 days to do Pay To Stay program. I am strongly recommend Mr. Welbourn to need an excellent attorney to defense your criminal case. Thank you Mr. Welbourn so much for your help to get my life back.

(My son) is a better person due to Ed’s efforts and accomplishments on his behalf.

Ed has literally saved my son’s life. In a society of zero tolerance attitudes towards inappropriate behavior of young men, there are no second chances when you make a mistake.(or two) The lifelong stigma of negative information, due to the electronic age, hangs over people with troubled pasts. Ed Welbourn is a lifesaver. He has kept my son from making a permanent turn in the wrong direction, by finding him second chances. He is a better person due to Ed’s efforts and accomplishments on his behalf. (Something he would not have gotten without a lawyer.)

Ed made a very confusing and scary experience much less so with his caring and professional expertise. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking the best in the business.

Mr. Welbourn was very honest with me and at the same time showed by his interest and actions that he really cared about me as an individual.

I totally admire Mr. Welbourn as he is one of the most professional people I have ever met. It has been my experience that he shows a genuine interest in people and really takes time to listen, which I found refreshing, as attorneys are very busy. I further was impressed with Mr. Welbourn in that he was consistent in accepting and returning phone calls on my case. Mr. Welbourn was very honest with me and at the same time showed by his interest and actions that he really cared about me as an individual. Mr. Welbourn was able to get my DUI arrest reduced to a wet reckless, and I was very happy with this outcome and with his services. I would also like to comment that his office is dependable and extremely professional. I would highly recommend Mr. Welbourn to assist you in any criminal case.
