About Wesley

Hello. Welcome to my website. Please contact me so we can talk about your legal matter in detail and discuss the ways in which I can help. Whether it be representing you in a felony jury trial, a family law matter, or a traffic ticket, I look forward to representing you.


---


Wesley grew up in the Temple area and in Giddings, Texas.  Wesley attended college at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. There he received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.

 

He then attended law school at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. While at Texas Tech he was a member of the law review, was named to the Dean’s List and received the Jurisprudence Award. He graduated cum laude in 2002 and was named Order of the Coif.

 

 

After practicing law in Lubbock for four years, Wesley and his family moved back to Giddings in 2007 to establish Keng & Keng with his father. Wesley is a member of St. Margaret’s Catholic Church. He is also an active member of the Rotary Club of Giddings.

  1. Criminal defense: 60%

    I am primarily a criminal trial and appellate attorney. I have tried countless felony and misdemeanor trials at every level of punishment. I have authored and argued many appeals in front of the 7th Court of appeals. In addition, I have applied for post-conviction writs of habeas corpus for citizens convicted of crimes. I have also worked to expunge records for many citizens.

      I endorse this lawyer's work. Wes and I went to law school together and he was one of the brightest in our class. All of us were amazed at him being in law school as he was the youngest in the class, at least two years younger than most, and this was related to him finishing undergraduate work at an earlier age. Enough of that... if you are looking for a lawyer in the Giddings, Texas area, you definitely should call Wes.
