Humble, Empathetic & Perfect Attorney

Mr. Desmond is an excellent lawyer who knows his clients best interests. He is very thorough with his representation of the client and delivers absolutely 100% during presentation of the facts to the judge. He is very friendly and down to earth and knows the litigation's norms. Overall he has a chari...smatic personality with a smile that puts clients, the judges and everyone involved at very ease. I recommend him above the rest as he has delivered and got the results that has played a significant role in my thought process as I can see clearly now and I am enjoying my freedom!! Thank You Wes! God Bless you as you are a Gem and simply the BEst!!!

Excellent attorney

I consulted with Mr. Desmond on some contractual issues for company stock agreements for a previous company I worked for. He was very knowledgeable and professional and his research was very thorough. I highly recommend this attorney.

Due Diligence

I hired Mr. Desmond to represent myself in a DWI #1 case. I would not recommend Mr. Desmond for a similar case because I feel he misrepresented his knowledge, experience and abilities as a lawyer in general and in this area specifically. Mr. Desmond frequently failed to follow thru on strategies he p...resented to me as the means by which we would proceed with the case. One example was stating that various motions for suppression of evidence would be filed before trail and thus possibly resolve the case and negate the need for a trail. These motions did not materialize at the last minute due to the reason presented to me that it would be more prudent to present these motions during trail. I believe these motions did not occur due to Mr. Desmond not being prepared and not knowing how best to proceed. During the trial it was painfully obvious that this attorney was out of his depth, unprepared, and even managed to irritate the judge more than once with his lack of basic court room protocol. Examples are such as not standing when speaking to the judge and not offering reasons for objections. I do not believe Mr. Desmond is a bad person and may be appropriate to be hired for some legal issues but please do your due diligence before hiring him.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jan 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"2 years with commonwealth attorney offices has helped immensely in his training as a DUI attorney. Knowledge of both the criminal law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Strong christian values like his are usually a great indicator that money is not his God. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation."
