Awesome and professional

Mr. Wharton has been my attorney for 10 years now and I have recommended him to so many people. I am very happy with my choice of attorney. People have told me oh you need a new attorney but I have stuck by him because he has never let me down. My son is in detention and he was able to get him out to... attend a funeral with me and is working hard on getting him back home with his family.

This gentleman is a god send!

I was involved in a commercial motor vehicle accident in Memphis, I was driving a tractor trailer when a man traveling at a high rate of speed smashed into me and ended up under my trailer, he was deemed at fault but upon running my information the state police made me aware I had my license suspende...d out of my home state of Pennsylvania due to an expired registration citation I received but paid on Easter weekend so it didn’t process in time, my license was reinstated days after the crash however I had a warrant in Memphis I hired Mr.Wharton and he had my issues resolved for me within day he is committed to his clients and was prompt to make me aware of any changes me and my family are beyond grateful!

Assault case in Bartlett

I was arrested for an assault that occurred in Bartlett, TN. I retained Mr Wharton and from the beginning he was knowledgeable, professional and prompt. During our initial meeting he explained to me the applicable statutes for my case and the possible defenses we can pursue. I especially liked how... transparent he was throughout my case. He was open and honest about the possible outcome but more importantly, I felt like he had my back from the beginning through the entire process. Fortunately for me he was able to get a favorable outcome on my case by having it dismissed with me only paying court cost and taking a class. I am eternally grateful to Mr Wharton and his law firm. I would recommend him because he is a classy, reputable attorney with world class customer service!!!!

I hired Mr. Wharton to defend me concerning an accident. And he did just that! I was able to pay the court cost & walk away freely with NOTHING on my record. If I needed a lawyer in the city of Memphis again I would choose him without any question. HIRE Mr. Andre Wharton. You will not regret it!!!
