This Man is No Joke

I'm a new father with a five month old boy at home. A while back I was having a couple drinks with my friend at his house when my wife called me telling me to get home because of a family emergency. Normally I would wait before driving, but due to the nature of the call,I did not & rushed home at nig...ht. Before long, I got the blue "whoop - whoop" in my mirror and State Patrol was pulling me over. I got home at nearly 3:00 AM that night. The next morning, I walked to work (because my car was towed. $240 vanished right away for impound costs) and asked all my friends if they knew an Attorney. My co-worker referred me to Andrew and told me "this man is no joke." I called Andrew's office, uncertain and anxious to know what may happen to me. Prior to my first meeting with Andrew, I was dreading the consequences to come (fearing license revocation, jail time, massive fines and more...) and with some apprehension I made an appointment to meet with Andrew Wheeler. Upon leaving the consultation with Andrew I was so reassured, informed & confident, that the stress of facing devastating charges vanished entirely. I was so allayed I nearly broke out in tears after shaking Andrew's hand and leaving the office. Andrew clearly and professionally explained the possible outcomes of what I may, or may not be charged with. He educated me about court system & what I can expect. He made every single detail clear and concise and I felt assured that Andrew would secure a favorable result for me. Not only has Andrew mollified the fear of facing charges, he squashed them into nonexistence & secured my future so that I can be home with my family and be there for my boy. If you're facing DUI or DWI charges, like I was, don't spend another second looking for a Defense Attorney - you've found the best. His payments are flexible & manageable and he's worth every penny. The value that Andrew provides with his knowledge and professionalism is indispensable. His staff is also remarkable - they are friendly, polite and punctual. Not once did they ever make me feel guilty (like a criminal) when I was in Andrew's office. They are there to help you. Bruce, also, is fantastic. 6.5 stars out of 5.

Highly Recommended

I was referred to Andrew through another much higher priced attorney. I'm very happy and pleased with the job Andrew and his team (which includes Alex and Bruce) did. They are very sharp legally, and while we didn't end up going to trial, their strategy and plan was sure to win over the jury. What I ...liked most about the Wheeler Montgomery law firm is that there were always able to talk to me- if Andrew wasn't available Alex was. Whenever I had the slightest question I never hesitated to pick up the phone and call their office and they always answer my question thoroughly.And since I didn't have a large amount of cash in the bank, Andrew was willing to set up a very reasonable payment plan.

Andrew turned my case in to the best possible scenario. Thank you Andrew!

One night, I had had a few to drink and decided drive my car and follow a friend back to his house. I ended up getting pulled over, and booked for a DUI. I blew a .086 and by the time I got back to the police station, my BAC was at .077. This was my first offense, and had no idea how to Handle the s...ituation. A friend of mine who had gone through a simar situation highly reccomended Mr. Wheeler. The friend had told me that he made the whole process easy to understand and follow. He also in the end got my friend down from a DUI, to reckless driving in the 2nd degree which was the best possible scenario. On top of that, he offers a very reasonable payment plan if you aren't able to afford a lawyer right away. And not to mention, he didn't charge me the full price because I had technically blown under the limit by the time I had got back to the police station so half of a full DUI case wasnt necessary. In my case, Andrew did everything possible to get me off of the DUI. Through the whole process, he made sure I understood everything along the way, and was very professional throughout. In the end, I too was able to get off of my DUI charge and now only face a fine. This is all because of Andrew wheeler and I could not be any more grateful to have had him represent me In my case! Thank you Andrew!

Professional, Very knowledgeable, Exprienced and works with you

When I had my incident with the law I was very concerened on how I was going to approach my case. I searched the Internet on DUI laws in our state and realized that Washington has the most stringent Enforcement on DUI's in our country and that worried me. I knew I needed someone extremely knowledgabl...e and so I immediately started my search for lawyers and found Andrew. I read his reviews just like you are doing now and just seeing all the positive feedback made it evident that he was likely the real deal. I called him during the late hours on a Sunday and he answered. I briefed him on my situation and was very empathetic. After he listened to what I had to say he provided me with some insightful knowledge and asked if I could come in for a consultation the next day. After that talk I knew I was going to hire him to represent my case. Andrew and his firm are the real deal. They all are very professional, knowledgeable and work with you. He will throughly go over all your options with you. When you see him in the court room you can tell that he is well respected from the community. I believe the amount he charged for his services were very fair and he worked with me on a payment plan. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case. I know if I tried to tackle this on my own I'd be lost and stressed out. If you are still deciding on what you to do. Don't chance it let Andrew and his team work for you.

Highly recommend

Andrew and his staff really know what they’re doing, and I felt comfortable the whole time. I had a really rough period, with two DUI's in a 15 month period. Andrew was with me the whole way. From our first meeting, I felt secure that my case was in good hands. He knows the court system in and ou...t and knows what needs to be done. He was able to win my DOL hearing and get my first DUI reduced. For my second DUI, I unfortunately was booked into jail after arrest (I guess that’s what they have to do for second DUI's). Fortunately, Andrew didn’t stop being my attorney and went to my court appearance where I appeared on video. I don’t know how he knew I was there, but I am glad he was there with me in court. Andrew kept my ability to drive throughout the entire process, which was really important. Lastly, there were no hidden costs or fees. The payment plan that he has available to his clients made it a lot easier to know exactly how much I had to budget each month and he was always flexible with that too. I would, without a doubt, recommend him to friends, family, or anyone in need of a DUI attorney!
