Hiring Andrew Wheeler and his team was worth every penny. Andrew was very tactical in his approach to my case and was able to plead it down several levels to a minimal charge with small penalties attached. I would highly recommend hiring Andrew and his experience if you find yourself in need of his... services.

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.

Professional, Expert, and Amazing

First off, our first meeting was great. We went through the entire process of what it was going to look like for me. Andrew Wheeler and his associate Alex Uskoski consulted me on what my options were. I had all my questions answered. They were with me through the entire process from beginning to end.... My case ended up being a happy one for me. They go to bat for you. No questions asked, even going through financial struggle they worked with me and got me to my happy ending. I really cannot be more grateful. DUI's is his focus. Andrew is a professional and is an expert in his field. Andrew Wheeler has my eternal gratitude. Thank you!
