Academic!

Mr. André Wharton is the best attorney in Memphis. He is respectful, considerate, compassionate, honorable, and extremely thorough. He also expressed a great deal of compassion and care for me during a very stressful and emotional process. He stood up for me. I would recommend Mr. Andre Wharton witho...ut reservation!!!!!

Peace In The Storm

After contacting A. Wharton through a cousin that knew his father, not even personal meeting him. Attorney Wharton was totally professional and serve and meet many every need in my dilemma. He went after my heart and not my wallet. Working tirelessly for me, doing all the extra, constantly making ph...ones calls continually. So I could have a peace of mind. Highly recommended.

Atty. Andre Wharton

I contacted Atty. Wharton on behalf of my mother to review a case for possible action. Atty. Wharton contacted me within 24 hours and offered his recommendation the family should consider before filing a suit. We met as a family and evaluated the facts and decided not to pursue legal action. Thoug...h we didn't retain Mr. Wharton his expertise was paramount in helping my family reach a consensus decision.

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.
