About W.
Biography
After more than 15 years as a professional musician, I opened a law practice concentrating in criminal law, contract law, small business law, juvenile law, tax law and entertainment law. Through the years, the changes in the laws passed by the legislature led me to the practice areas I now service. I have been in practice since 1995, and handled over 2500 cases as a trial attorney. Please contact us for an appointment and pricing information. Spanish language assitance is available.

A recommendation for Charlton Allen

Excellent Support
Mr. Allen helped me when I was trying to help a relative in trouble for repeated DUIs. Under daunting circumstances he managed to place this relative in a DUI court program.
