Criminal Defense 50%

I've been practicing Criminal Law for over a decade. I love it. I won my first felony trial a year out of law school, and I was hooked. My client was wrongfully accused, and I prevented him from going to prison. Your freedom is priceless!

Family 40%

Relationships don't always workout. But you don't have to live in the past. There's happiness on the other side, and I can help you get there. If there are children involved, we can create the best situation for you and them.

Personal Injury 10%

You probably already know how difficult it is to get an insurance company to pay you when they should, which is why I thoroughly enjoy forcing them to do so when a client of mine has been injured. If you don't want to settle, I love jury trials.

10/10 would reccommend!

Mr. Wise handled my first offense DUI and simple possession case. He was able to get my charges knocked down to reckless driving which I can have diverged. He was so helpful and has great communication skills. I believe his charisma and dedication are only a couple of the attributes that make him a w...ell-qualified and reputable attorney. I’m so grateful for his help during a hard time!

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.
