Great Lawyer. Professional and Charismatic.

Mr. Wharton was the ultimate professional in regards to my matter. Despite the unorthodox parameters of my situation he stayed persistent on my stance and guided me through the process as it was a long tenured case with several challenges along the way. Mr. Wharton was patient and available which all...owed my support and myself to keep a positive mindset. Highly recommended.

Superior Service

From the initial contact throughout the closing of case, Mr. Wharton provided above exceptional professionalism and expertise to my court matter. He approached the case with an individualized approach instead of cookie cutter legal matter. He worked hard to ensure the best outcome!

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.
