Professional Lawyer - Atty Wooten

Working with Attorney Wooten has been an incredibly positive experience. From the beginning, Atty. Wooten paid close attention to detail, made me feel heard, respected, and supported. He took the time to truly listen, explain things in a way that made sense, and never made me feel rushed or overlooke...d. He is super organized and punctual. He makes you feel as if you’re the only case he has at the time. It is clear that Atty. Wooten genuinely cares about his clients and takes great pride in his work. His professionalism, compassion, and dedication brought me peace of mind during a very stressful time. I’m truly grateful for the guidance and excellent service provided and would confidently recommend Attorney Wooten to anyone in need of legal support. Thank you Attorney Wooten for all you have done.

Compassionate, Dedicated, and Highly Effective

Matt Wooten took on my contested divorce after another attorney had it for 18 months with little progress. From the moment Matt and his team stepped in, they worked tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for me. I’m thrilled to say that I am officially divorced after just 11 months in their h...ands— and it would have been even sooner if my ex-husband hadn’t dragged things out. What truly set Matt apart was how much he cared about me as a person. He never made me feel like just another case. He listened, he understood what I was going through, and he genuinely empathized with my struggles during an incredibly difficult time. I’m deeply grateful for Matt’s expertise, dedication, and compassion. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a strong, supportive advocate on their side.

Help is just one call away

Needing a lawyer often comes during one of the most stressful times in your life, and I was no exception. After separating and navigating a divorce, I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for Plumlee, Wooten & Overton P.C. Mr. Wooten took on my case, and that decision turned out to be one... of the best I could have made. Going through a divorce is never easy, and while Mr. Wooten could have easily kept things formal and distant, he didn’t. He was compassionate and supportive throughout the process, making what could have been an isolating experience much more manageable. What stood out the most was his ability to listen. He took the time to understand my concerns and was always clear in explaining the legal process, making sure I was informed every step of the way. He not only gave me a voice in my own case but also guided me toward the best course of action for my future. If you're looking for someone who truly has your back through a difficult situation, I highly recommend Mr. Wooten for his professional yet empathetic support.

Great attorney!

Worked diligently on my traffic court case. While it was minor, he still handled it diligently and with compassion for my worries. Very easy to relate to and work with.

Wasted time, money

Time management, ignorance, neglect caseload needs a lot of work. He needs a lot of work. If you have a serious case, highly highly do not recommend if your teenager ran a red light and needs defending in court. He’d probably be good for that but anything thats serious matter or takes any form of kno...wledge do not recommend.
