This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazingly helpful

Will was by far the best public defender I have ever had to work with. He was very passionate about the law and making sure it was being upheld. He talked us through everything and came up with a solid plan and defense. He answered every question no matter how small or stupid and reassured us that he... was completely there to help us. In the end we got our fur babies back safe and sound and we couldn't be more thankful and forever indebted to him. So if you need a public defender ask for Will he is by far the best.

Great help

Will was so helpful during my whole court process. He walked me through everything step by step and would always take the time to explain what was going on. He was able to work out a plea deal that helped put this whole thing behind me. I was able to keep my job and family thanks to his help.

Excellent Lawyer

I'm very thankful for Will Wooten. I had quite a struggle with this court case because of moving different states. He worked with me around my schedule on several occasions. He's very patient and genuinely cares about you. Great job.

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.
