Awesome Experience, Great Attorney

Had a situation come up with some old unpaid tickets and I live out of state. Called and left a message and within 3 hours of message called me back, listened to what was needed, offered advice, explained the process which would go through. After our conversation he stated the time frame he would hav...e this filed by. Exceeded expectations and had everything done sooner than I would of expected. 100% the best experience I have ever had with and attorney and his price was very reasonable. Would use again if needed to!

Blessed to have met this man....

We were lucky enough to have Wes answer some questions for us that the judge refused to answer during my husband's arraignment. We got his card at that time and spoke with him over the course of a couple of days before we decided to ask him to represent us. We didn't realize it at the time, but we ...were in for the ride of our lives. We kept getting hit with charge after charge and the threat of new investigations with the probability of even more charges. The fee that Wes quoted us was for a simple open and closed case, but that's not how it went. We spent HOURS of time on the phone with Wes at ridiculous times of the day, and Wes filed what had to be three inches of paperwork with the courts in response to the continuous stream of incoming charges. Wes made it clear from day one that he was on our side. He believed us and he fought with everything that he had to get a good outcome for us. He worked relentlessly and never asked us for more money although we know that he put WAY more work into our case than any of us realized he was going to need to. Wes made us feel like family and was very understanding when we needed to vent on weekends or like I mentioned before, ridiculous times of the day. We just finalized everything today and drove home with smiles on our faces. He kept my husband out of jail and did it with the utmost professionalism. What Wes did for us was honestly life changing and we will always be thankful for him and feel blessed beyond words that he offered his help that day in court.

Great Attorney

Truly grateful for Wes’s expertise and kindness. He’s professional, diligent and down-to-earth, when he tells you “I love to help people” it’s the absolute truth. Throughout my case I would thank him for his quick responses, he was fully present and transparent with every communication. His represent...ation of my case far exceeded my expectations.

Excellent!

Mr. Cherry stayed in touch with us through every step of our case. He explained things thoroughly and made sure we understood things. He made a bad experience better.
