Great Lawyer in Memphis

Andre is an excellent lawyer. He is the definition of a professional. I was arrested for driving with a suspended license. He delivered on all of the promises he made to me, and my case was dismissed and expunged. My record is still clean. Thanks Andre

Humbly Thankful for such an Outstanding Attorney!

Words can not express the overwhelming in gratitude I have for Attorney Wharton's representation. As a former client who was facing a misdemeanor. Attorney Wharton's professionalism but yet knowledgeable background was comforting and rewarding within itself. He was very prepared and experienced of my... case with willing given options but fortunately, Attorney Wharton's was able to not only win my case with having it dismissed but also making sure this was expunged from any public records. Again, I humbly thank Attorney Wharton and his assistant with all their prompt assistance and responses to all my concerns and questions. I could not have asked for a better attorney. He and his assistant returned all calls and were there for any questions that I could come up with. I sincerely appreciate all of the help and professionalism shown by your firm.

Vandalism case

I was nervous about my case die to the charges being a felony. Andre was professional and very knowledgable and in the end his hard work paid off. Andre was able to get the case dismissed and closed and my record expunged.

The Right Choice

Mr. Wharton was definitely the most helpful attorney I found. Not only did he expedite my case within a couple of days, he let it be known how devoted to my case he was by letting me contact him outside his office hours. He was understanding of my circumstances and helped me get my case resolved as s...oon as he could. He was mindful of my reputation and understood that I deserved a second chance so he worked his hardest to get my case expunged within one morning. All in all, Mr. Wharton rushed a two month process within two days, which was astounding.
