I came to the office with no appointment just walk in explained my situation and Mr. Wells halt his lunch to listen to my issue

Mr Wells was very accommodating halt his lunch listen intently to my dilemma. For little information I can share He diligently looked into details that can be involved and had assured me that I am free. I could not thank Mr Wells enough for his kindness and compassion.

Great man, great lawyer

I had been charged with possession of marijuana, paraphernalia, failure to registry, and failure to equip vehicle with 2 working headlights. David got the marijuana reduced to littering, and had both the failure to register and the paraphernalia dropped completely. In total the court had charged me o...fficially with littering and a broken headlight fine coming out to less than $700 in court fees. He defended me well, and if anyone were to need a lawyer I'd highly suggest Mr. Wells to anyone.

Exceptional service and expertise!

When my late husband passed away in a car accident I needed to obtain legal guardianship of my stepchild. The child's natural mother had been absent since the birth and I had raised the child since age 2. My late husband used Mr. Wells as his lawyer for the original custody case against the biologica...l mother so I knew Mr. Wells would do another fantastic job for my family. Mr. Wells handled my very unique case with expertise and was highly knowledgeable in the area of guardianship and family law. I am so thankful and appreciative for Mr. Wells and his office associates for their kind help during a difficult time for my family. The case and outcome was successful and I highly recommend him for any area of law!

Highly Recommended

Mr. Wells created a plan to handle my difficult case, provided excellent advice, guided me through each step, and it worked. Before my hearing, he got up at 4 a.m., analyzed the latest updates to my case, read several pages of my last-minute notes, and memorized them all. Skillful, savvy, ethical,... thoroughly prepared, committed to his clients, and gets favorable results. Friendly and well-liked by his peers and persons within the legal system, and enjoys his job. This is the guy I want on my side anytime I step into a courthouse. Huge asset. Very highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
