I would like to know the positive person that other reviewers talk about. That is not the person I encountered. In the beginning he acts like he's your buddy and he's there to look out for you. Yet he's extremely condescending and painfully rude.

Thank You Michaela! I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad i could help! Call me anytime. Hope you're having a great day! -Wes
"Wes knows bankruptcy law and will conscientiously and creatively put those laws to work for you. Not only is Wes an extremely personable individual, he is a true professional. You can trust he will do a great job helping you with your individual situation. I endorse Wes without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. Why? If you read answers to questions by persons on AVVO and read her answers, you will notice Wesley takes the time to carefully and fully (and accurately) explain the answer to the questions directly and to the point. Having practiced myself 29 years and filed over 5,400 bankruptcy petitions I appreciate attorneys who have substantial experience and yet willing to take the time on AVVO to give you information that you sought. After all, is that not why you asked? So go to an attorney who you will receive such quality representation by. Great job to Wesley too! Sincerely, Richard D. Granvold"
"I endorse Mr. Scott and his Firm. They are compassionate professionals to whom I am comfortable referring clients in bankruptcy matters."
"I endorse Wesley Scott as the most open, honest and knowledgeable Bankruptcy Lawyer that i know. If there is any Lawyer that knows Bankruptcy Law it's Wesley and he knows it well."
