Wes grew up in Muldrow, OK, a small town in eastern Oklahoma. During high school, he enjoyed quiz bowl, speech and debate, and playing in the band.
After high school, he attended Duke University in Durham, NC, where he double-majored in economics and philosophy. He remembers fondly the 2001 basketball season when he was a sophomore and Duke won the National Championship.
After undergrad, he attended Washington University in St. Louis School of law, where he received his J.D. After law school, he thought (briefly) about attending medical school, and entered into a post-baccalaurate/pre-medicine program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
After sitting for the Oklahoma bar, Wes entered into prosecution, and worked for the State of Oklahoma as an assistant District Attorney. Following that, he worked at a small firm in McAlester. In 2014, Wes opened his own law firm, and has since immensely enjoyed practicing on his own, where he can better serve his clients.
When he’s not in court, he can be found doing various nerdy things like playing Magic the Gathering, video games, or reading about space. Other than that, he enjoys driving, watching OU football, and Duke basketball.

Best in area. Great reputation.
The only lawyer I trusted enough to hire. Quick to respond. Fair rates. Great reputation. Professional but also has a great sense of humor. Good character. Would definitely hire him again but hope I never have to.

Custody matter
We used Wes for a custody matter. He was very professional and always there to answer our questions/concerns. Through my profession, I have worked with many attorneys and few have been as quick to respond as he was with us. I would highly recommend Wes.

Wes Cherry Review
Wes is the best Lawyer in Oklahoma. He got me an amazing plea deal and even took on a related case pro-bono just out of the kindness of his heart. Great lawyer and even better person. Highly recommend using him as your defense attorney!

"Wes Cherry is the go-to criminal defense and domestic relations / family attorney in his area, in my opinion. His work product is excellent, prices are reasonable, and stature as an attorney overshadows the others with whom I am familiar in his region. He is highly recommended."
