Alligations to TxBON

I hired Mr. John Wenke to represent me in a case where false allegations were made against me by an anonyms source, to The Texas Board of Nursing. Mr. Wenke conducted an excellent and thorough investigation disputing the allegation. Mr. Wenke kept me informed of all proceedings in real time. He made ...himself available at all times, thus educating me about legal process, before, as it occurred and at its conclusion. Mr. Wenke’s professionalism and careful consideration of my feelings, assured me that due process was being implemented. Mr. Wenke’s efforts, proved that the allegations were false, and a positive outcome was accomplished. It will be my pleasure to endorse Mr. John Wenke to family, friends, colleagues as well as the general public, who may be in need of his legal services.

Great attorney

John is a great lawyer he helped me in my case no one else wanted to take. I didn't even want to pursue my case I felt I was not going to win. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. He got me ten times the amount the employer initially offered without going to court I would highly r...ecommend him to anybody.

Positive review

I had the honor and privilege of having Mr. Wenke in my corner, when resolving a legal manner with an organization. His proven knowledge, skills, expertise, was second-to-none, and the final results were outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, who needs professional advice and p...ositive results in any legal matter.

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.
