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.

Posted by Craig | July 18, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket
Great choice for lawyer in Outer Banks, NC
Jay Wheless and his paralegal Jennifer eased my mind right out of the gate. After receiving two pretty scary speeding/wreckless driving while passing through Manteo, NC, two months ago, I contacted them for for council. They eased my mind and insured me they were the right people for the job. They...

Another 5 Stars for Jay
I recently received a speeding ticket and was shortly thereafter inundated with letters from local attorneys offering assistance. No disrespect to any of them, but fortunately I knew Jay and hired him instead. He and his paralegal Jennifer were outstanding throughout the process, providing detailed e...

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...

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...

Made a stressful situation so much better
I'm a NJ resident who received a speeding ticket while in OBX that had a mandatory court appearance. 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...
