Mr. Wheeler

Mr. Wheeler is in fact the lawyer all these reviews say he is A+. That said, I like many others have never had the need for his services. Now that I found myself in need of such services the first thought in my mind was "I'm already broke", how am I going to get an attorney and on top of that how to... find one. While in custody I requested council officer bad word began to call down the list fortunately enough Alex (Mr wheeler's associate) had answered his phone at 1 am walked me thru some questions and asked for my contact number. And the next day as I'm feeling pretty much down and out Alex called I mentioned my financial struggles and I can't afford an attorney he said, come talk with us, so I rushed down as fast as I could (after I got my vehicle out of impound). The initial consultation was as one would hope it to be if in need of an attorney and never needing one before. Andrew and Alex walked me thru the process I don't know any legal stuff just what I watch on tv. They were both calm cool and collected I was full of mixed emotions ofcourse. I had not read these reviews before meeting him and I chose him and his team, i did find these reviews after hiring him and his team and read almost all of them it helped a little, everybody's case is different so we can't assume the same positive outcome. Met at his office multiple times spoke on phone multiple times he answered all my questions and I try to question everything why is the sky blue... joking aside if your reading this your really stressed remember your not the only one. And I'd like to say to you write down exactly what happened as soon as you can and take it with you when you meet him. So then, yes he did get my charge reduced. I did have to go to a drug counselor for an evaluation about 1-2 hours, a victims panel about 3 hours bring tissue for drying your eyes, and a day class to learn how the alcohol or weed or other drugs affect your body eight hours. Got me a neg 1 and 40 hours of community service. This whole ordeal is costing me about $7000 and yes officer bad word wrote his report out making me look like the worst guy in the world so read the police report carefully if you don't understand it or you disagree with it let them know. ask the questions. You just might ask the one that helps your case.. the best of luck to you and yours.

Grateful to have Andrew Wheeler and his team on my side. They gave me a second chance.

I received my fist (and last) DUI this past year and have to say it was an eye opening experience. You go through a plethora of emotions from embarrassment to disappointment. There is nothing “easy” about the process. I am a 39 year old male who's never been arrested and been a model citizen all my l...ife. I just made a really selfish decision to get behind the wheel after a few drinks. The next morning after my arrest I called the offices of Wheeler, Montgomery & Boyd to help me through this foreign process. I called on a Sunday and quickly received a call back from Andrew Wheeler. He was coaching his children's soccer game and made time to speak about my situation. I was already feeling better knowing that I had a top notch DUI lawyer on my side who cares so much that he made time for me during his personal time with his family. At our first consult Mr. Wheeler walked through all the steps we would take and made it very clear on what options were in front of me. Him and I came up with the best plan hoping that there would be the best outcome possible. Mr. Wheeler and his team made sure all the dates, monies and appointments were clearly documented and even sent reminders the day before important milestones like court dates. From the very beginning I knew I was in the care of a professional office but what happened during my investigation was astonishing. Mr. Wheeler looked over the arrest report and all the footage from my traffic stop looking for anything that could help my case. He ended up finding a procedure technicality on the officers part which was a tremendous win for me. Andrew brought this technicality to the prosecutor and judge and my charges where reduced heavily. No interlock device, no jail time, no license suspension and no high risk insurance. Unbelievable…. I was ready to pay the piper and take my punishment but Andrew and his team had my back and reduced my sentence with minimal fines and penalties. I can’t thank Andrew and his team enough. This was a hard lesson and changed my life for the better. I realized through the mandatory classes that I do have a drinking problem that needs to be handled. It's not only my life Im playing with but all the good people on the road. I highly recommend Wheeler, Montgomery & Boyd and am forever grateful for their service. They gave me a second chance.

The absolute best

Andrew Wheeler will explain what is happening with your DUI in plain, easily understood language. My recommendation is to hire him, then just do exactly as he says. He is very kind. And incredibly skilled. I don’t want to turn a positive review into a fan letter, but it’s difficult to avoid!

DUI/DWI Charge?... HIRE this attorney!!!

I was pulled over one fateful night after consuming a drink while out with a friend... the stereotypical start to most DUI/DWI stories. In addition to the cocktail, I had been excessively tired, exhausted and sleep deprived with a sleepless infant at home. Nevertheless, I went into panic/worry ...mode when the red & blue lights turned on behind me... especially having never been pulled over before. The officers deemed that I was "impaired" and I was charged/arrested for driving under the influence. I was shaken to my core and regretful beyond belief! The next day I met with a number of DUI attorney's in the Vancouver area, and my choice became a simple one once meeting Mr. Wheeler. In my mental state at the time I was looking for someone to say "everything will be alright", but with such actions come consequences... Andrew was the only attorney to "play it straight" with me and he took the time to explain each potential outcome. Additionally, it was obvious that Andrew had extensive experience/knowledge in the field and he would do everything within his power to attempt to work with the prosecutor and reduce the initial charge. After negotiations my charge was dropped one level from Driving Under the Influence (DUI) to Reckless Driving. This has been a very negative, life-changing experience, but the one positive aspect in the entirety of the situation was my choice to hire Andrew Wheeler as my legal representation. If you are facing any type of similar charge, I STRONGLY suggest consulting with Mr. Wheeler, and I believe you will appreciate his professionalism, honesty and experience/knowledge of the system. Andrew Wheeler is someone that will be there for you when you most need it!!

Highly recommended

Andrew Wheeler was recommended to me by three people. Proactive, honest, experienced, and his attention to detail, is how I made the decision to trust him in handling my case. He provides clear pathways to your success. He gives you the information you will need, and contacts you with updates and cha...nges to your case. He handled things in such a manner that I could easily understand, and feel confident. He provided better results than planned on! His office staff are friendly, professional and helpful. My rating for Andrew Wheeler and his team are over 5 stars. I do recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for DUI. Much thanks to Wheeler, Montgomery and Boyd, and their great staff.
