An Exceptional Attorney Who Delivered an Incredible Result

Nick Wright at Welch & Wright did an outstanding job representing me in my case. He was able to get the original charge reduced to a non-moving violation, which I truly did not expect. His communication was clear, professional, and reassuring throughout the entire process, and he made everything feel... straightforward and easy to manage. I felt well represented from the beginning to the end and am incredibly grateful for the outcome he achieved. I would highly recommend Nick Wright and the Welch & Wright team to anyone in need of legal representation.

Hire Nick!

Nick went above and beyond when I consulted him about a traffic violation. I can't recommend him enough in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area! He is both friendly and professional. Thanks again, Nick!

Nick Got the Charges DROPPED!

Nick Wright is an amazing traffic attorney! I was pulled over for speeding in a school zone, and I had to go to traffic court. I retained Nick, and he was able to get the charges DROPPED entirely. NO FINES to pay for the offense, and NO POINTS on my license. I have already recommended Nick to someone... I know, and he will be my go-to recommendation from now on. Thanks, Nick!

Defended reckless driving charge

In the past year, both of my son's have gotten a reckless driving charge. In both cases they chose Nick for representation. Nick was highly professional and explained each step of the process in detail with realistic expectations. The outcomes in both cases were aligned with our best-case scenario...s. I would quickly choose Nick again if ever needing representation.

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.
