Best of the best. Understanding and empathetic.

I am from out of state and received multiple violations in Dare County. I was extremely upset as I'd already continued on to Florida and had been told I would need to appear in court. I called Mr. Wheless's office after seeing how highly he has been recommended by others and I now know why. He cal...led me back within an hour of my leaving a voicemail. He was so kind and reassuring and calmed me down. He asked me for information regarding the incident, and then clearly went through what he could and could not do to represent me as my attorney and to set my expectations as to what the outcome of my case could be. He explained the fee structure for his help and provided a list of things I should do to help my case. His team then contacted me with the details of what I needed to do. I followed those instructions and provided what was needed. His staff is incredibly helpful and function as a true team. Their communication skills are top notch. Mr. Wheless was able to get two of the citations dismissed and a third reduced in nature carrying only a small fine and court costs. The result was even better than I'd hoped. If you ever find yourself with traffic violations in Dare County, Mr. Wheless and his team are the only attorney you should consider.

Excellent Attorney! HIGHLY Recommend!

I hired Wheless & Wheless, PLLC to have some circumstances surrounding some misfortunate events taken care of promptly and discreetly, and they did just that! I did what was asked of me and they delivered a better outcome than I could have ever expected! Thank you Wheless & Wheless, PLLC!

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. Once Mr Wheless gathered all his information on the case it couldn’t have gone any better he contacted me after every meeting he had concern...ing my case and let me know the actions he was gonna take towards it. So after it was all resolved I served no jail time Mr Wheless was paid and 1 year suspension of License. I now have my License and on the right track thanks to him and his outstanding team. Everyone I spoke with was very professional and very respectful. I highly recommend Mr Wheless and his team if you have any Legal needs.

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...ely polite and helpful. They always responded to my emails and questions I had. During the trial it was obvious that Mr. Wheless was extremely prepared for my case. He had 5 notebooks open tabbed to various sections of law that pertained to my case. He was able to get my case dismissed.

  • 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.
