About Andrew
Biography
I am a lifetime resident of Clark County. I am dedicated to my clients and representing them to the best of my abilities. Since 2005 I have defended over 3,500 DUI charges in Clark County, including countless suppression motions, jury trials, and hundreds of administrative hearings before the Washington Department of Licensing.
Being charged with a DUI is a stressful and difficult situation. It is often my clients' only contact with the court system. I understand those real world stresses and work hard to find solutions for my clients.

Mr. Wheeler is awesome!
(23M) First time ever having to do anything court related, Mr. Wheeler walked me through everything and answered many of my questions that would have gone unanswered had he not been there. Mr. Wheeler was exceptional at communication when explaining documents and never left me feeling unsure. I would...

The best in town.
I already wrote a glowing review of Alex Uskoski, who works with Andrew. I contacted Alex first by luck, late at night from the police station, and Alex did most of the work with me directly, but that's not to say Andrew wasn't involved and adding value. He was present, responsive, and his obviou...

Brilliant DUI defense attorney
I caught a DUI charge along with other charges several months ago. Andrew was recommended to me so I had a consultation with him along with a few other criminal defense attorneys.

DUI Reduced
So thankful I called Andrew after being arrested for DUI in Vancouver on my way home from casino to Portland,OR. He spent a long time explaining the severity of my case (Breathalyzer Refusal) and the entire legal process and what to expect. Everything he and Alex worked on was on point, from review...
