Justin weatherly

I would like to say that for me Justin was awesome in the way he was able to explain what could happen, what will happen and what he could do to help my situation . I got an ovi and unfortunately it was my second one, I was extremely nervous and upset about the whole ordeal . I called around and no... one seemed to want to talk or explain to me about what I was facing . I came across Justin weatherly's number I called and we talked for a while . He took the time to explain what he could do for me, explained everything clearly and for me having the peace of mind knowing the I had someone who acutely cares on my side fighting for me was awesome . I highly recommend Justin

Exceptional Lawyer

Can't say enough good things about HMW Law. I dealt with Justin Weatherly specifically for a recent driving incident. Justin and his staff were incredibly professional, prompt, and reassuring through the entire process. Justin was very knowledgeable and thorough with his research. I hope to never nee...d their services again but HMW / Justin Weatherly would be my first and only call if need be.

Exceptional Attorney: highly recommended

Mr. Justin Weatherly is an exceptional defense attorney. He was able to significantly reduce my charges regarding a DUI case and I could not be happier with the outcome. Mr. Weatherly is the most skilled, compassionate, and highly respected attorneys that I have ever met. This was evident through his... interactions with the judge, his peers, and myself. The judge that presided over my case concluded with these words, “you are very fortunate to have been represented by Mr. Weatherly.” I can sincerely say that I cannot agree more! Thank you for all of your excellent work on my case.
