Andrew William Wheeler

You have to be realistic about your particular situation, of course. In my case I was pulled over for speeding near a small town which turned into a charge of DUI, despite passing field sobriety and blowing under the legal limit. Most expensive lunch ever. I got lucky choosing Andrew from a Google... search at the police station. I visited his office twice. He and his staff are courteous and respectful. Andrew explains how the process will work. He also lays out all the possible outcomes and outlines all the proactive steps you can take before your hearing to show the court you are taking the situation seriously. He is careful to let you know that he can't promise anything but forecasts the outcome he believes that he can get for you. In my case the outcome was exactly as predicted. He believed there were no grounds for a DUI and was able to plead it down to negligent. The whole process helped keep me from going out of my mind while waiting for judgement and sentencing. Like others I'd never been in any trouble for anything worse than the occasional speeding ticket. I can imagine this process would have been much more stressful with the wrong lawyer.

I received a citation for DUI and as a type 1 diabetic Andrew took the time to investigate if any contributing factors from this disease could've had any impact on my performance during the night in question. When you have Andrew on your side you have the "Best in the Business." Save his number, pa...ss it along to friends and family! No one ever thinks this is going to happen to them but when it does you have MOUNTAINS of legal responsibilities requiring and Expert Attorney to navigate this process!!! Andrew negotiated hard for me my family! I'm forever thankful I hired Mr. Wheeler it was the best money I ever spent.

Andrew is an outstanding criminal defense attorney for anyone charged with DUI/DWI. People forget that this is a criminal charge with serious long-term consequences to your finances, career and other important aspects of your life. You need an attorney who can vigorously advocate on your behalf wit...h the court, as well as counsel you on the appropriate steps to take -- even before your case comes up for discussion with the county attorney or court -- to lessen the impact. He's been doing DUI/DWI defense for years, and knows the laws - and the courts in SW Washington - inside out. He'll fight hard for you, but he'll also make sure you're taking the steps you need to take to effect the best outcome. In my case, he got the DUI reduced to a lesser charge, and also got a collateral charge completely dismissed. This process took 2.5 years, but he was there every step of the way. For something so personally unpleasant, I could not have hoped for a better outcome.

These reviews are real, and this is the lawyer you want if you have been hit with a DUI charge. That said, don't do it again (if you did do it!) Andrew and his entire team treat you with dignity and respect. Even though they are busy people, each one of them took time to answer my questions and pr...epare me for what was coming up for each step of my DUI accusation. Each member of his team, from the attorneys training under him to the people running the front desk and answering phones, are competent and kind. Andrew would respond immediately when I had a concern, but more importantly, he sets you up on a timeline where nothing can be missed. He goes out of his way to make sure that you keep your license for as long as possible and that you are charged as little money as possible. For instance, I am low income and he advised me how to avoid paying the DOL to delay my hearing. For seconds, he knew to WAIT to send the request to delay the hearing until the last possible moment so that I would keep my license for as long as possible before any of their penalties kicked in. These little things are an indicator that you're dealing with a caring expert. From the moment I hired him, he laid out the steps that would put my case in the best light, from going right away to the victim's panel to going right ahead with the alcohol eval. He knows his stuff, and he knows how to make your chances of a reduced charge multiply. I was charged with a DUI and I refused to blow - I was terrified regarding the ramifications of my accusation. Andrew and his team walked me through every possible scenario through every step of the process, and got my charge reduced to a negligent driving. I couldn't be happier or more impressed, and I consider myself lucky to have found him. When I saw all the positive reviews on avvo, I have to admit I was skeptical; I mean, who knows who writes those, right? Well, these reviews are real, people. Don't mess around. Hire Andrew and his team. What's more is that his price is very competitive. I heard many people in the alcohol class I was ordered to take talk about paying much more and receiving much worse representation. Thank you Andrew, Bruce, Alex, and team. You deserve to feel excellent! Many people accused of a DUI have just made an unfortunate mistake, and you were the only thing that assured that I wouldn't be put through the ringer. Best money I ever spent! It has been a pleasure working with you.

If you've received a DUI, you need a lawyer. Andrew has been handling these cases in Vancouver for years, and he's very good at what he does. He managed to get my DUI ticket reduced to a lesser, misdemeanor charge, and through his knowledge of the Department of Licensing system, managed to entirely a...void the extra problems that the DoL can impose, which most people aren't even aware of until it's too late. Andrew charges a flat fee for handling your case from start to finish, regardless of how long it takes to reach a conclusion, and, in my case, brought things to the most satisfactory conclusion I can imagine it could reach. Hiring Andrew has kept the DUI off my record, prevented me from needing a vehicle interlock, paying for extra insurance due to the DUI, prevented my license from being suspended, and kept me from having to serve any jail time. If you've been cited for DUI or DWI, you need a lawyer, and Andrew Wheeler is your best choice. Thanks, Andrew. You were worth your weight in gold.
