Best Lawyer in DALLAS

We had a phenomenal experience with Attourney Vincent Wisely. He was available every-time I needed him. All the times I would get nervous or anxious he never failed to reassure that he’s doing his absolute best after hearing my story. With that being said in the end it was all worth it. (:

Best Criminal Attorney in the Metroplex

Mr. Wisely has been incredibly informative, responsive, kind, and professional throughout my son’s incarceration. Not only does he call me back when I have an inquiry, but calls me directly with information re the courts, my son and his choices regarding his plea. I am so grateful and thankful for hi...s personal support and his integrity.

Full state and federal legal support

One minor mistake on my part caused me to face catastrophic legal problems by the federal and state government. Terrified that I was likely facing prison time in either or both state and federal systems, I did not know who to turn to. While searching for someone who could represent me in both of thes...e venues I am now relived to have come across Vincent's name. Vincent was able to successfully represent my case before the federal district attorney and the state attorney. Against all odds and due to his persistence he was able to negotiate favorable terms in my case. This put me in the best possible position when we went to court and presented my case before the judges. It was important to me to have someone who understood the details of my case and could represent me in front of both state and federal courts, I did not want the added stress of having an attorney for each court, Vincent appeared to seamlessly be able to manage both courts without issue. In addition to managing the individual district attorneys, Vincent also was able to address the concerns I faced with my parole officer. He reached out to my parole officer to keep her apprised of the situation and discuss details required for the case, He revealed discrepancies in reports which aided in the case. Vincent was able to set my mind at ease during the entire process by keeping me constantly updated to the progress and what to expect. He did not sugar coat any of the expectations but always remained positive. In the end, Vincent was able to settle the federal case with the best possible outcome and negotiated a dismissal of all charges with the state charges. While I hope, and plan, to never go through this type of ordeal again, it is assuring to know that Vincent is there to help if I do face these types of legal challenges again. I could not have asked for or expected anyone better,

Great Experience

Mr. Wisely exceeded my expectations. He completely proved me wrong about lawyers in general. I wrongly believed that most lawyers would be narcissistic and condescending. Mr. Wisely was engaging, responsive, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thanks!
