Case Dismissed

Mr Wharton handled a speeding ticket for my daughter and got the case dismissed. We were hoping for a reduction and no points and were so happy with the results and his hard work. Highly recommend Mr Wharton and this firm.

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 a...nd always made his self available for me as if my son and I were his ONLY CLIENTS. JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

Patient and Understanding

Attorney Alexander Wharton was very patient and thorough throughout my case. He kept me informed and was able to maximize my settlement to the best of his ability considering he came in on the latter end of the case.

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 a...lways 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!!!!!

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.
