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.

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...

traffic violation(red light)
I called Jays office and he personally called me back.

I was returning from Corolla, NC and was pulled over for speeding on 158N. I was clocked at 13 mph above posted speed limit . Charge was reckless driving.

Absolutely AMAZING!
Could not have asked for a better lawyer. I got a 2nd DWI in less than a year and under 21 for both and he was able to BEAT IT!!! He is an extremely quick responder and verryyy easy to work with. I have used him a few times and he has gotten my stuff dismissed every time. I don’t plan on ever being i...

So Glad I Hired Him!
I hired Jay after emailing with him about my case. He was quick to respond to my inquires and was transparent from the start what he could do for me and what I would need to do to get my charges reduced. He was able to get my speeding violation down to a non moving violation which will not be seen ...
