DUI on PIB

Troy was great and he plea bargained my DUI on a golf cart down to a reckless op, very happy. Super nice guy, made it easy as possible for me. I am an out of towner and he handled this whole terrible situation for me with minimal involvement on my part.

!!!!!Do Not Refer !!!!

I would not refer Troy W. He will bleed you out your money and plea you out with no fight . He over charge people and if it gets bonded over he charge you again , He does not do any work as a lawyer supposed to , he is very lazy . He make deals and will give you up , and try to take the easy way out... as possible . You get Troy you go to jail it’s simple guilty or not !

Outstanding lawyer

Troy Wisehart did an amazing job with my case. I was in a really difficult situation and Troy took the time to listen and understand all the details. He worked through his strategy and was successful in getting the outcome we wanted. Troy and his office maintained great communication and I felt fully... informed throughout the process. I really appreciate everything he did for me. Troy is truly outstanding!

Situation would have turned out very different had we not had Mr. Wisehart. He explained everything and made sure we had a clear understanding. Thanks!

Best choice ever!

Mr. Wisehart assured me he could help me and he did more than that! I got pulled over for potential dui and I refused to blow and one of the harshest judges dismissed my dui and refusal and waved my reinstatement fee thanks to Troy! Did I mention I have 2 prior? It was all too good. I will recommend ...him to the day I die. Thank you Troy!

"I contacted Troy for some clients who had a legal issue in his jurisdiction. He was prompt to return my call, polite, well spoken, and professional. Even though I just called as a courtesy he took the time to explain the local procedures and I felt very comfortable sending my clients to him. Should you ever need a capable criminal defense advocate in his jurisdiction definitely get ahold of Troy first, he's the real deal!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
