Not a suit with a law degree

Facing 3 charges including a major felony, a friend recommended Dylan Wilbanks. I a short time he managed to get 2 of the charges dropped including the felony. I think most attorneys would have been satisfied with that and, frankly, I would too. but Dylan wasn't satisfied with half measures. He kept ...fighting getting ALL the charges dropped, no jail, no fines, no court appearance, no record. I shudder to think what might have happened without Dylan on my side.

Quality Lawyer w/ Good Reputation

Dylan has established himself as the go-to guy for general legal matters in the Commerce, Nicholson side of Jackson County in Georgia. He's smart, forthright guy with knowledge and experience from being a former ADA.

Client Review

I found Dylan Excellent to work with. Very knowledgeable, responsive, did a Great Job on a Gut Wrenching Criminal Case to Help get Me Off the Hook. If you are An Innocent Person and Need Someone that will tell it to you straight, work hard and fight on your behalf and keep you out of Jail, Dylan is... Great to Work with. I liked the Fact that He was a Former DA//Prosecutor, so he knows how those People think and how to work with them. I would Highly Recommend him.

Unprofessional

I hired this law for to carry out some work for me and they Agreed but I’ve been calling for over 9 months I’ve called 35 times left 8 emails and went in person 6 times they are always on vacation or too busy to call back or see me when I go in person so I call against next week. Secretary says busy ...she cud tell I was upset and went to tell them I was on line just wanted an update they said hadn’t started yet. Who ever Belinda is that works there is not good at her job and Dylan either bc I messaged directly severs times he just tries to cover his name making excuses but not getting shh done to help I just wanted communication and results I purchase a lot of properties there are by far the worse group I have ever dealt with they are sorry and good for nothing those other positive reviews must of been old friends or family bc they SUCK!!!

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.
