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.

Avvo Rating

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.
