Wes will get it done.

We were up against an incredibly tough situation, possible jail time and a D.A. that wanted to show no mercy. They offered a plea, we didn’t like it, and asked Wes to go to battle. Wes played it like a pro, he gave us our options, went to bat, and got us the outcome we wanted. I would absolutel...y recommend Wes as an attorney that will go to battle for you and get you the best possible outcome.

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.

Wes will fight til the end for you

Our experience with Wes Cherry has been a great one. My boyfriend didn't really have a fighting chance but with Wes by his side he got a great deal. Wes has gone above and beyond to make sure he didn't miss out on Soo many years. He answered all our questions, he listened to our concerns and he showe...d actual compassion. We would recommend Wes for anyone looking for an attorney for their legal needs.

Five stars isn't enough

Wes Cherry didn’t just represent me, he helped me get my life and my children back. My case involved CPS accusations that could have destroyed my reputation and relationship with my kids. Wes stayed calm, focused, and strategic through every step of the process. He understood the system, worked effe...ctively with the GAL, and never lost sight of the goal, bringing my children home. Today I have a final custody order and my kids are where they belong, at home. Wes is honest, direct, and absolutely relentless when it matters. If you are a good parent who has been falsely accused or pulled into a difficult custody fight, this is the attorney you need. Five stars isn’t enough.
