This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Clean Record

I was charged with possession of THC, which after a little work he got dismissed for me. The amount I paid was very affordable, he is very honest with you, and really respects your life. You are not a dollar sign to him but a living person who made a bad choice. A wonderful lawyer who is a wonderful ...person. Highly recommended!

The best...

Attorney Wales represented me on a felony drug charge from the past. I skipped bail and moved out of state for some years so he had to do a lot of hard work and digging around to work things out for me. When I first called him he spent a lot of time with me and gave me a free consultation. After I... hired him he was forced to negotiate with two district attorneys in two separate counties, filed paper work and made tons of phone calls on my behalf. He was aggressive with the prosecutors and moved mountains to get me the best possible outcome in my situation. His fees were totally affordable which he was very upfront about and willing to work with me on. He made huge amounts of time for me and made sure that I understood everything that I was going through. I never once got his voicemail or a secretary when I called. He always took my calls when I called him which I did several times throughout and was very patient and clear in communicating with me. He is a very nice guy and the best of attorneys. Super affordable and upfront about his fees. Most importantly he got the job done! I'd recommend him to anyone. If you want a great lawyer who is going to play it straight with you in every way, treat you right and get you the best of outcomes, this is the guy. EXCELLENT LAWYER!! Thanks Mr. Wales.

  • 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.
