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.

The best lawyer in town!
I was recommended to Jay Wheless by a family friend and I could not have picked a better lawyer to represent me in court. As a local from Manteo, NC, I have heard nothing but positive things about him. Jay was extremely professional and prepared to help me receive the best possible outcome in court. ...

Jay Has Your Back
I was on vacation in OBX from out of state and ran into some trouble with the law. Hiring Jay was the best choice I could have made.

Made a stressful situation so much better

Not only did Mr. Wheless respond to my email inquiry almost immediately, but he was able to appear in court on my behalf and resolve the ticket to a no points violation. The process was extremally eas...
