Advertising Account Executive

Mr. Wenke is the only attorney I reccomend for thorough, dedicated, and effective legal counsel. Passionate about his work, Mr. Wenke exhibits unparalleled compassion for his clients and cases he handles. His superb experience and knowledge of the law allows for creative and agile arguments on you...r behalf. The level of confidence and assurance felt while having Mr. Wenke as my legal counsel was by far the best; he was always prepared, organized, made sure that I was not treated unfairly by the other party.

We hired Mr Wenke on a very traumatizing case. Mr Wenke went above and beyond to get our case resolved. Throughout the entire process, Mr Wenke remained very professional and his staff was very easy to work with! I highly recommend Mr Wenke as he will take your case into consideration and explore a...ll your options. He will work tirelessly on your case and will work hard to get you the justice that you deserve !

Athletic Director

I hired Mr. John Wenke, because the school district that I worked for nonrenewed my contract for disability not protected by law. After I explained my case and he went over my documentation's, Mr. Wenke excepted my case and filed a complaint against my employer with EEOC (American Disability Act) on... my behalf. John filed a lawsuit against the school district and deposition the school superintendent and high school principal. After the deposition the school lawyer decided to settle my case instead of taking it to trial. John did a great job negotiating the amount of the settlement. Me and my family are very please with the end result and especially with Mr. John Andrew Wenke representation! Mr. Wenke is very professional and one of the greatest if not the greatest employment lawyers in West Texas... I highly recommend him
