I have litigated hundreds of cases ranging from misdemeanors to high level felonies. A lot of lawyers say they've "handled" cases which can mean anything from making a phone call or appearing in court once. I actually litigate. After graduating from Florida State University College of Law and passsing the Florida Bar Exam, I was hired by the Pumphrey Law Firm. The Firm blessed me with the opportunity to attend many advanced seminars and training. This has allowed me to specialize in defending those charges with alcohol and drug related offenses.

Aaron Wayt truly saved my life. I consulted with several lawyers before settling with Wayt through Pumphrey Law. The first thing I noticed was that neither the office nor Wayt needed to rely on pretense to convey their dedication and veracity. Their office and workers come across as kind and authenti...

I met Aaron under less than ideal circumstances. I had been arrested for DUI. This was not a great experience until I met with Aaron. He was fair, honest, friendly and didn't over promise on the first visit. As the case progressed Aaron saw that the officer had over charged, did not afford me several...

I recently found myself in a legal predicament. Due to my profile, I reached out to Aaron and another attorney. Within minutes, I had a call back from Aaron. He took time out of his busy schedule on an evening to speak to me the better part of 30 minutes. While I did not ultimately use Aaron, he stil...
"I had the chance to meet Aaron recently at a forensic gas chromatography course. Aaron's knowledge and insight of DUI law was extremely impressive and insightful. He actually taught me quite a few things I didn't know. The only quality of Aaron's that rivals his knowledge of DUI law is his passion for fighting for his clients. When I have questions regarding my clients who live in Florida, Aaron is my choice, and he should be yours too."
"I endorse this lawyer. Aaron worked for me during law school and was the best law clerk I ever had. Since graduating, he has become one of the premier criminal defense attorneys in town with a reputation for an ability to persuade jurors. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs his services."
"Aaron is my go to expert when I have questions regarding DUI matters before Florida criminal courts. He is a recognized expert in his field and his trial knowledge are second to none. I was fortunate to have worked under him as a law student and my own success at trial are a direct result of his guidance and assistance."
"Aaron is one of the up and comming lawyers to watch in Tallahassee. He is a skilled trial lawyer and a great guy. I recommend this lawyer."
"I got to know Mr. Wayt as a fellow DUI and criminal defense lawyer in Tallahassee. I've seen him negotiate with State Attorneys, argue motions to suppress, and try cases. Mr. Wayt does an excellent job in court and knows the ins and outs of Florida DUI and criminal laws. He has my full endorsement."
"Mr. Wayt knows as much about DUI law as anyone I know. He's more than competent in the courtroom, and fights hard for his clients. I endorse his work wholeheartedly."
"If for some reason you chose not to hire me to represent you in a Driving Under the Influence case, I would certainly recommend that you call Aaron Wayt. Aaron is one of the rising stars in Florida when it comes to D.U.I. defense. I heartily endorse Aaron Wayt as a D.U.I. and general criminal defense attorney."
"Attorney Wayt has the reputation, knowledge and experience to make a true difference in the lives of those who trust him to represent them. He has guts, determination and common sense. He is highly trustworthy. I trust him. I know you will too."
"Aaron is a great lawyer and he is very well respected in the Tallahassee legal community. I fully endorse his work."
