About W. Jay
Biography
I have been practicing law on the Outer Banks for 33 years. 27 of those years were with my father as my best friend and law partner.
I am married, have two fantastic children and one incredible granddaughter. I am very blessed.
I have a tremendously professional and driven staff. These folks tend to stay with me for the long-haul which is another of life's blessings.
I have been a private pilot for 35 years (SEL and instrument rated). I do not fly as often these days, but my wife and I are drum-fishing every available weekend through the summer. I am an avid outdoorsman in all seasons. If the sun is up, I am outside.
My practice brings me a great deal of joy, but I get particular pleasure from a difficult DWI or helping good folks out of sticky situations.
If I or my firm can ever be of assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Jay
Experienced and trusted. I love to win.

Great Attorney, highly recommended
Jay handled a legal matter for me and did an outstanding job getting my case reduced. He did all his homework for me and was persistent in going to bat for me. He was very easy to talk to and explained the legal issues in a clear manner. I recommend him highly.

DUI
I contacted Mr Wheless and his legal team 4 years after my DUI it took a little time to get things rolling because I was out of state and it was an older case.

Professional - knowledgable - quick to respond
I hired Mr. Wheless to help with my DUI case. He was highly recommended from a family friend who also practices law. I met with a few other lawyers, but I decided to go with him because he was prompt and followed through. His fee seemed reasonable considering the circumstances. His staff is extrem...

I have used him a few times and he has gotten my stuff dismissed every time. I don’t plan on ever being i...
