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...ht might be able to assist me.

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.... I would recommend him to anyone. Great job and Thanks Wes and Sonya!

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...ere punishment. Until I prayed, and found Wes Rucker. My case was dismissed, let me say that again, MY CASE WAS DISMISSED. I can't promise you the same results I received, but I can promise that Wes Rucker will be the best lawyer you will ever have on your side. Thank the Lord Jesus for Wes because I can't imagine the outcome I would be facing now.

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...ystem and even when things were changes with the court or DA's office he adjusted without hesitation. He is very communicative and savvy, I would highly recommend him to anyone! As I said in the title, Wes operates like Michael Jordan, nothing stops him and he wants to win in the worst way with all the best intentions for his clients.

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...etent defense attorney. He Will shoot you straight and put in all the effort needed to win your case. He went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks again Wes.
