Lawyer for all

Mr. Wescott was very professional, and efficient. His knowledge and preparation was excellent. I would highly recommend Mr. Wescott for freedom or satisfaction.

Posted by Ms. White | August 14, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Wescott’s services were highly recommend to me by a close friend. I was facing several felony charges, which carried significant jail time. Mr. Wescott was extremely knowledgeable and efficient in assisting me with my legal troubles. He was successful in concluding the matter, and I didn’t have t...o do any jail time. I would recommend him to anyone. He’s fairly priced, keeps you informed, and fights hard for his clients; he’s an excellent attorney.

One of the best

I hired Mr. Wescott to represent me in a criminal court case. He was very helpful when it came to making sure I had a clear understanding of my charges. He also made sure that all information involved was accurate. I would definitely recommend Mr. Wescott to anyone having legal trouble.

Best in the business

This is the type of lawyer you want when you are in trouble and want to know everything involved in your case, he will definitely tell you what to expect even though it may not be what you want to hear, really put forth every effort to accomplish a positive result on my behalf. Recommend Mr. Wescott... when you want to get things done the right way.

Another cambridge attorney with an ego

An ambulance chaser who only sells his clients. He strong armed me into signing retainer agreements and when I refused his rediculous fees he stopped helping me. He is a close associate of Melvyn Jews and they work in tandem. Do not trust these men. They will not talk to you and if you get them on t...he phone they want to sell you more services.

  • 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.
