A Lawyer that is Experienced and Hands-on on my cases !!!

I had two cases against me including a DWI, Sallye Wilton was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say that she did an amazing job, I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Outstanding attorney who changed my life-Highly recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough about Ms. Sallye Wilton and the exceptional legal services she provided. From the very first consultation, she was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She took the time to truly understand my case, clearly explained all my options, and kept me informed at ever...y stage of the process. Ms. Wilton demonstrated unmatched expertise and dedication, ultimately achieving a result that exceeded my expectations. What stood out most was her responsiveness and genuine concern for my well-being throughout what was a very stressful time. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also trustworthy and approachable, I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Sallye Wilton. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish! In short if you need a criminal lawyer, look no further.

Adult Misdemeanor

Ms.Wilton gave clear and precise answers and advice on how to move forward with the case. All while throughly analyzing any evidence and details in the case. She did so without any prejudice or bias whatsoever. Would highly suggest Ms.Wilton without a doubt.

Great Lawyer, straight to the point

She’s a great lawyer, she doesn’t beat around the bush which I LOVE. She gets straight to the point on what my options are, her opinion on the best option and then how we should approach said option(s). While being straight to the point she is not blunt and rude but rather pretty empathetic and does ...seem like she genuinely wants to do what’s best for you. She made things in my trial flow quickly and hassle free. Would highly recommend her

Overpriced and inexperienced

Do not hire this attorney! Her lack of communication along with her lack of knowledge hurt my case. Great and the beginning, but I believe she’s in it just for the money. Definitely not the one you want representing you, Way overpriced for what you get. My advice is to find one that is willing to ...work for you and with you. She is definitely not the one!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
