Choctaw Nation Judicial Court System

I hired Wesley to represent me in court proceedings with the Choctaw Nation. The case was dismissed and I owe it all to Wes and his ability to navigate the tribal court system and seek justice for me at a critical time in my life. He was focused and driven to ensure I received a fair trial. I highly ...recommend him to handle any civil or criminal case you may be facing in Oklahoma or the tribal court systems!

Excellent. Reliable. 100% recommended!

In our personal experience, with a case that took two years to resolve and involved multiple issues that needed to be addressed and resolved, I must start by saying that, at first, none of the firms we contacted in the area—NOT A SINGLE ONE—responded to us. It was a Friday night when, feeling discour...aged, we wrote to every firm we could find in the area, and the very next day, Wesley Cherry called us. After we explained our case to him on Saturday, he went to the county sheriff’s office and represented us without delay that very same day. Our communication with him was always direct. There was never any ambiguity or nonsense on his part, and although on many occasions we were disconcerted because the results didn’t always seem favorable, Wesley never stopped responding, being there; answering our questions; assisting us in our distress, always with the utmost professionalism. Now we can better understand all his decisions and moves, the perfect timing for every action. He was a BLESSING, and I cannot express it in a higher or more honorable way. He was there from the beginning and never failed to address our anxieties or answer any of our calls. He did the work, and I believe he always walked hand in hand with God. His defense was admirable and yielded the victorious outcome we had hoped for. Justice was served, and today we celebrate, grateful to God for placing this attorney in our path. An excellent professional whom we highly recommend.

The Right Attorney When It Mattered Most

Mr. Cherry was confident, competent, and decisive. He took swift action and clearly knew exactly how to handle my case. His professionalism and calm assurance made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Mr. Cherry to anyone needing strong and effective legal representation....

Tort Claim

Wes was recommended to me by a family member, and one of the only consuls I could find that was willing to take on my claim. I'm glad it worked out that way because he confidently handled filing, discussion, and negotiation of the claim resulting in a settlement recouping nearly all of the damages I ...incurred. His response time was excellent, also being available on weekends when needed. His rate for services were beyond fair and his billing/contract process quick and seamless. Nobody wants to have the need for an attorney, but when the need rises again, I will be reaching out to Wes!
