Neill Averill Wente

He may be a good ticket lawyer but as far as a criminal defense attorney, STAY away from him. He will make deals behind your back with the DA. Then you don't find out about it until they day of court. He didn't fight for me at all, he took my money and basically took the short road to his victory (P...lea Bargin). He did tell me in front of my father that if I wanted to actually fight and take it to court he would drop me completely as a client. There was NO evidence in this case but "he said", "she said" and i still got convicted because he was to lazy to actually put in the work needed for my case......I do not recommend him at all. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

I am from out of state and was charged with 7 counts of possession with intent to distribute in Buena Vista, VA. Neill was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire case. He worked with me on answering the many questions I had regarding the case as well as many other extraneous details... involved with me being in school and out of state. He was proactive in dealing with the prosecutor and did a phenomenal job at negotiating my sentence. He managed to get me a first offenders agreement for an otherwise possibly very poor outcome. I am very grateful for his services. I would recommend him to anyone facing these sorts of charges in the area. His fees were also very reasonable for the services provided compared to many others in the area.

My son was driving through Virginia and was pulled over and given a speeding ticket (80/70). This was the first traffic ticket he's ever gotten and it would have caused a steep increase in my auto insurance not to mention points and negative history on his drivers license. I chose Attorney Neill Wen...te after reading his positive reviews. He was very honest with me from the beginning and let me know the odds of getting the ticket reduced. I went ahead and retained him, knowing the odds were against us. He was right, he wasn't able to get it reduced; he got it DISMISSED!! My son has to go to traffic school and maintain a clean history for a six month period. He is an amazing attorney who is quick to respond and has the highest degree of integrity. Thank you Neill for your professionalism and tenacity.

Neill responded to my initial call promptly. He took great care to document details of my case, was sensitive and respectful. Afterwards, he took great care to ensure my scheduling difficulties were addressed. Neill made sure to follow up with multiple phone calls and gave me good advice about how... to proceed. I was very pleased with his representation and got the outcome I was hoping for. For these reasons, I highly recommend Neill Wente.

I can't say enough about Neill. The day I realized I was going to need a lawyer (renting an unsafe home that the landlord refused to release me from), it was 4:45 on a Friday. I called a previous landlord and she recommended Neill without a moment's hesitation. Neill let me call him after hours th...at night and was incredibly thorough, went through all the major details of my problem, and helped me come up with a plan. Unlike so many other lawyers, I don't think I ever had to leave a message and wait for his call back. He called frequently to update me or get more information from me, and talked in depth to make sure I understood what was happening and what COULD happen-- good or bad-- in the next steps of our process. In the end, he was able to get a very favorable conclusion to the case and even continued to check in with me well after the case was closed, to make sure I got the appropriate refunds from the landlord, etc. I would recommend Neill to anyone. He's a Marine through and through-- tough as nails, respectful, and loyal-- and I don't think any lawyer would seem good enough again after working with him.
