Excellent service and results

I originally chose Mr Wheless's law firm because it was right next to the courthouse for my traffic ticket, and I'm super glad I did! Within a few hours of explaining my circumstances on his website, Mr Wheless reached out to me directly since his secretary was off that day. I decided to hire him... to represent me in court for my 15mph over citation. My court case was originally scheduled over 2 months away, and Mr Wheless got the matter settled in just a little over 1 week from the date of hire - amazing! What's even more amazing is that, despite this being my second ticket, he managed to reduce it to improper equipment - a non moving violation that has no impact on insurance! I am incredibly grateful for Mr Wheless's service, and I highly recommend him!

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. He thoroughly researched the facts and law of my case, was very responsive and clearly presented my options before trial. Despite having bad facts on my side he took... my case to trial, masterfully cross-examined the prosecution's witnesses, and exposed the bad facts of THEIR case. As an attorney myself, it is a rare pleasure to watch someone so talented in the art of cross-examination. Even the State Trooper who was the prosecution's main witness remarked that Jay was the best attorney he has faced. In the end, I know I got the best possible outcome thanks to Jay's responsiveness, hard work and talent.

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.
