also known as Wes Rucker
I am a native Houstonian but earned my undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York City. Texas and New York certainly have their differences. The experiences of living in both places has been a tremendous asset to me. Likewise, I have been both a prosecutor and an attorney in private practice. Seeing litigation from different sides has helped me offer informed legal aid and direction for my clients.
During the 10 years that I served as a prosecutor and felony district court chief in the major offenders section, I handled a variety of criminal and civil cases, specializing in white-collar crime, civil litigation, DWI, and many others. As a prosecutor, I began to notice that many defendants weren’t receiving proper representation from their attorneys—and most suffered convictions, prolonged sentencing, and higher fines because of it.
It wasn’t long before I decided to launch my own law firm to offer defendants zealous but honest representation. I became board certified in criminal defense law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and established my own law firm in order to provide my clients with legal aid to guide them through the rigors of defense law litigation. To that end, I’ve successfully represented countless clients facing charges ranging from DWI’s to murder—all backed by my experience arguing on both sides of the courtroom.

Very detailed and thorough
I did a consult with Wes and was very impressed. He seemed very detailed and thorough. He is someone who I could trust and feel like he'd do a great job of representing me. He was gracious with his time and has been kind and has tried to help me. He even recommended a fellow attorney who he thoug...

Wes is the one to call!
Wes, was great! First off he returned my call in a timely manner for a Saturday and he met with me on a Sunday. Which was very surprising. He and Sonya handled my case with professionalism. Even though we were going through a pandemic he was able to communicate with me and the court about my case...

God send!
I won't go into specifics of the case that was facing me, but in short I was going through hell sideways. I felt the boot of the law on my neck and thought my only option was to accept a guilty plea in some desperate attempt to relieve the pressure from my case, hoping that I would receive a less sev...

The Michael Jordan Defense Law!
First I want to say I hope that no one has to use Wes' services BUT if you find yourself in the situation where you do, he is 100% the man to call. My case took about 18 months to get through but every time we met and or went to court Wes was like a shark! He know's the in's and outs of the justice s...

5 stars is not enough
Mr. Rucker was hands down the most honest and competent Attorney I have ever dealt with. His transparency and hardwork impressed me to no end. After multiple experiences with sleazy attorneys, it was refreshing to work with someone as ethical as Wes. I highly reccomend him to anyone in need of a comp...
