Great Lawyer
Will is a fantastic lawyer. I was implicated in a minor criminal case and hired Will to represent me. He made short work of the prosecution's case and gave me my life back. I would recommend Attorney Whewell to anybody looking for a top notch criminal defense attorney.

Very satisfied - Highly recommended.
I contacted Attorney Whewell on behalf of my daughter. His efforts proved to be very successful and a resolution in her favor was determined much quicker than expected. I have already recommended his services to a close friend of mine. I consider myself very lucky to have had him on our side.
