Juvenile Case
Mr Wharton was very Professional from the beginning to the very end. Anything I did not understand, he took time to explain to me so I could have a full undestanding. He made me feel like he was more concerned about my son case rather than the attorney fees. Mr Wharton was easy to get in touch with and always made his self available for me as if my son and I were his ONLY CLIENTS. JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

ALEXANDER FOR MAYOR!!!!!
Mr Wharton was very Professional from the beginning to the very end. Anything I did not understand, he took time to explain to me so I could have a full undestanding. He made me feel like he was more concerned about my case rather than the attorney fees. Mr Wharton was easy to get in touch with and always made his self available for me as if I were his ONLY CLIENT. I can recall when we were in courtroom,he performed as if he had been an attorney for 50 years. I Most defiantly would recommend Mr Wharton to anyone seeking counsel, because he most defiantly made sure me and my family was very well taken care of!!! JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

Chancery Court
My sister sued me, my brother and the U S Government. She alleged my brother and I coercion, undue influence, misappropriating the funds and fraud,. My sister had not seen my mother but twice(for five minutes) in more than 14 Yrs. She wanted to have it settled in out of court, but I didn't owed her any money. Mr Wharton was there with me through it all. He kept me informed about everything. He has never returned my calls when he wasn't in. I would recommend very highly.
