No worries if you get Mr. Wiltshire

My son is a student at UGA and he found himself in a bit of trouble as many others do when they first set out to college. I contacted Mr. Wiltshire through the personal recommendation of another parent and written reviews. He explained the process by which we would go about getting this taken care of and what the expected results would be. He kept us informed throughout the case. I felt confident with his experience that we would have a positive outcome...and we did ! I certainly hope we won't be needing him again, but if we do, that's who we will call.

A True Professional.

In college, I was arrested for failure to maintain lane and subsequent DUI charge. From our first meeting, Mo patiently listened to my case and assured that we could prove my innocence and allow me to pursue my professional career. Mo is honest when discussing case details and what he can provide. He and his staff were very attentive to keeping me informed on the status of my case. We were able to work together to accomplish the best outcome of dismissing the DUI charge. Working with Mo, I was able to finish professional school as a doctor without delay or further repercussions.

Mo Wiltshire did a great job with my case from start to finish. He relayed information to me in a timely manner and made sure our point got across in every court appearance. He worked diligently through the resolution of the case, and I greatly recommend Mo!

Highly Recommended. Great experience

My daughter was detained on alcohol related charges In Athens. After receiving several recommendations, and a consultation with Mo I hired him to represent my daughter. During the consultation, Mo was sympathetic and non-judgmental, yet straightforward about what to expect. He explained best and worst possible outcomes so my daughter and I both understood what was ahead. Fast forward a few months and I am very happy to report the case was concluded with the best outcome possible. I highly recommend Mo, not just because of our outcome but because he clearly has the experience, the contacts, and the temperament necessary to assist those young adults that still occasionally make a bad decision.

Highly recommended! Awesome attorney!

I had a run in with an Athens law enforcement first time ever being arrested. Once I did research on what I was being charged with I knew I needed an attorney. I did my research and Mo kept popping up. I never expected to be in the position I was in and I had to hire the best attorney and Mo matched the description in what I was looking for this man is awesome. When I met with him I knew I made the right choice he was not one of those scripted attorney's that tell you what you want to hear. He kept it honest through out everything remind you he used to be a prosecutor he knows EVERYTHING when it comes to the law business. He did not give up on me even when I felt like giving up on myself. This man was fighting for me! When my back was against the wall and I had no one to turn to this man was right there telling me he is going to do everything he can to save my career! He kept his word case DISMISSED. This man went above and beyond for me he kept me updated about everything in my case and his assistant Teresa was amazing I thank her so much she kept me calm each time she gave me an update on the case. If you want to hire an attorney HIRE MO HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!

You deserved a real break on your case and I am thrilled we were able to get it for you! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! -

College Shenanigans

I’ve had two “run-ins” with the Athens law enforcement during my college career. (2016 Grad) and Mo was there for both me and my family each time with great advice and intervention in the local courts when necessary. He’s a down to earth and very reasonable guy who will go out of his way to help you. He’s more of a friend at times and expert counselor when you need him to be. He’s also connected in the area and understands the process and how overzealous the prosecutors in the area can be. Very grateful to Mo that I’ve been able to avoid situations that could have been a lot worse. He’s top dawg at defending rowdy dawgs!

Couldn't Have asked for more!

Mo was incredible. From the consultation to the resolution of my case, he was professional, realistic and thorough. He gave me realistic expectations of how the case would turn out from the beginning. He communicated what was going on with my case frequently and worked with me when I couldn't make a court date etc. The case ended in dismissal, which I was more than I could've asked for. I would HIGHLY recommend Mo and his staff! Best decision I could've made.

Great Attorney-Greater Man

As any parent that has had one of their own make poor decisions can attest, the consequences of those decisions creates undue stress and strain on the family. We contacted Mr. Wiltshire after an unfortunate incident and arranged to meet. Typically you can get a feel for a person's attitude and personality within the first five minutes of the introduction and "Mo" won us over immediately with his candor, professionalism, and general demeanor. Not only did he express his undeniable knowledge of the law he had impeccable values as a man and those that we shared in our family. While we were far from resolving our situation he made us feel very confident before we departed and we began our journey toward resolution. Over time, and much coordination, Mr. Wiltshire ultimately negotiated a positive final result that was far beyond what we originally imagined. Our youngest was salvaged from what could have been a disastrous outcome and is now more mature and aware of the ramifications of bad choices. This was due to Mr. Wiltshire's willingness to explain issues in a calm, collected, and often times humorous manner. We are forever indebted to Mo for presenting a defense that was thorough, affordable, and personable. We could not offer a higher recommendation to those in need of competent representation. Thank you Sir!

Thank you Mr. Wiltshire

Mr. Wiltshire is a great lawyer and an even better man. He helped me with short notice and worked on getting a disposition that totally benefited me. I would highly recommend Mr. Wiltshire to anyone. Thank you.

Best attorney around. Period.

If you are reading this, you are about to make the most critical decision of your life. You may have never imagined you would be in the position you are in now. But here you are. That's where I found myself. Everything I had ever worked for, my reputation, my career, my future, were on the line. The most important action I took was hiring Mr. Wiltshire a couple of days after my arrest. That decision saved my career and my future. I made my decision based on in-depth research and recommendations from friends in law school. They emphasized Mr. Wiltshire is a legend in the area. He is extremely well respected in the legal community. It didn't take long for me to see that for myself. I could tell after my first meeting with him that Mr. Wiltshire truly cared for me as a person. I was a recent college grad and had just landed my dream job. I made one mistake that could have completely altered the course of my life. I was lost. I feared losing everything I had ever worked for. Mr. Wiltshire saw all of that. He genuinely wanted to help. He went above and beyond for me. I know no other attorney would have put forth the effort he put forth for me. Any other attorney would have collected a check and taken the easy way out. Not Mr. Wiltshire. He was able to find a small fault in the details of the case and my case was COMPLETELY DISMISSED BEFORE INDICTMENT. I never stepped foot in any court. I never stood in front of a judge. I was never formally charged with anything. I never had to plead to anything. That was the absolute best case scenario for me and Mr. Wiltshire delivered. I would day dream of a result like this, but never thought it would become a reality. I will never forget the moment he called me to share the news with me. He gave me my future back. I spoke to many other attorneys before making the decision to hire Mr. Wiltshire. I knew in my gut, after my first meeting with him, that he is the BEST choice. I know for a fact that no other attorney would care enough to go above and beyond to get the absolute best case outcome for the client. During our first meeting, he made it very clear that he is a winner and boy did he prove it. Mr. Wiltshire, I will never forget everything you did for me when I was on my back. Thank you.

Mo saved my life

My experience with Mo was outstanding. My case ended up taking almost 2 years to resolve (I was facing considerable jail time), and I could see that Mo was actively fighting my behalf throughout the whole process. At the end of the ordeal, Mo was able to bargain a plea deal with the prosecution that far exceeded what I thought was possible. Communication was great - I never had trouble getting in touch with Mo. His paralegal staff kept me in the loop with any updates. Mo is a straight-forward, genuine guy that I will always be grateful for. If it weren't for his dedication to his practice, I wouldn't have the freedom I enjoy today.
