Posted by Iriss | July 07, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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!!!

Attorney Andre C Wharton repsented me in a personal injury case. He was professional throughout the entire case. I would recommend him and the Wharton Law Firm to anyone looking for a good lawyer.

Highly Recommended

Attorney Andre Wharton came highly recommended by a friend who is currently a non-practicing attorney. Mr. Wharton settled a complicated personal injury case for me and I was more than pleased with his professionalism, follow-up, and firm negotiating skills. Through working with Mr. Wharton, I found... him to be very knowledgeable and to have a wealth of expertise. I have since consulted him regarding other legal matters and he has been very quick to respond. As a result, I have recommended him to family members and friends for which he has successfully handled cases. I would confidently seek the services of Mr. Wharton and the Wharton Law Firm for any future legal representation or matters.

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.
