"Thank-you Greg Janzen and et al, for the work youdo!"
I first tried to take care of things on my own. But when the courts escalated my fileand I discovered diversion services would no longer be an option I was stressed and overwhelmed to the max. Mydisclosure revealed accusations that I couldn’t begin to dispel and my shock along with the incipient chargesrattled me to the core. I knew I needed a lawyer and while I couldn’t really afford one, I knew I couldn’tafford not to. I met with several lawyers who quoted me retainers of $3,000-$5,000 and that didn’t even includeresolution fees or admin processing. Forget Snukel or Iovinelli, who in my bidding left me uncertain of myoutcome and could only be sure of how much it would cost to get my foot in the door.My eternal gratitude goes to Michael Oykhman who I accidentally connected with first. I’m sure he’s a busy manrunning this firm, but he never redirected my call and listened to me and reassured me instantly that mycircumstances were surmountable and that we wouldn’t break the bank to see to it they be resolved in my favor.As of yesterday, I am now free and in the clear. Charges have been withdrawn and my fingerprints and photos withpolice have been destroyed and I can now look forward to travel and work opportunities that won’t be limited bywhat I feared would be an indelible mark on my record compromising my bank job and ability to be bondable! Iworked out of province and my defense lawyer made sure I was able to live my life freely without beingencumbered. For that reason alone I recommend getting a lawyer, there are so many appearances you can’t bemissing work for! But, it doesn’t stop there. Not only was Greg Janzen on top of my case, he is extremely kindand made himself available by phone, email and in person to counsel me throughout the process. I can’t thank himenough for seeing my matters resolved in a timely fashion and perfectly in line with my ideal outcome. I neverfelt anxiety once I committed to this firm and appreciate their flexibility and commitment to me during myjourney that would have otherwise caused me so much distress and limited my freedoms. Thank-you Greg Janzen andet al, for the work you do! Please consider this firm if you find yourself in an unthinkable place and findyourself on the wrong end of the law. You will thank yourself for this time and time again, you aren’t alonewhen you have this team! Cheers.

"Anny was there every step of the way, and I genuinelyfelt that strong fighting spirit that every good lawyer should evoke."
“To err is human” so the saying goes. We’re all human, and it is in our nature to makemistakes. It’s a part of life, of evolution, of growth. Unfortunately, sometimes others can hold those mistakesagainst us, one of those being the archaic criminal justice system in Alberta. Without someone by your side,this system will swallow you whole and destroy your life, if left to its own devices.In my search for someone to help, I came across 2 other lawyers, who immediately made me feel like I was awalking ATM. They made a point to make me feel uncomfortable. These men had already branded me guilty withoutproperly hearing my case.Fortunately, I found the Savage Oykman Law Office, and was immediately assisted. I was assigned Atty. Anny Wang,and boy did I ever luck out. Anny was exactly who I needed–She listened but did not judge. She was honestwithout being cold, confident without being cocky, assured but not boastful. Anny was there every step of theway, and I genuinely felt that strong fighting spirit that every good lawyer should evoke, to reassure theirclient that everything will be OK. And with Atty.Wang there, everything did turn out OK. Now I can look forwardto a future and further growth as an individual, not bound by the judgement and mistakes of my past. Atty.Wangpaved the way for my future to continue being optimistic, and she and her office has my sincerest gratitude.

"She is amazing and would recommend her and the restof the firm..."
I have had an IRS Fail given to me by an overzealous police officer, who did notfollow procedure. As this would have ruined my life for a long time had I not called Savage/Oykhman criminaldefence. Laura Bobyn specifically took my case head on and got my charges canceled altogether. She is amazingand would recommend her and the rest of the firm for any kind of questionable charges you may have. They are 5star pros.
