Highly Recommend DUI Attorney

Andrew Wheeler is the best of the best when it comes to DUI cases. Unlike other attorneys, Andrew solely focuses on DUI cases which means he is very passionate about what he does and he does it to the best of his ability. When I had my first and only DUI, Andrew made it certain that I knew everything... there was to know about my case and what the possible outcomes were. There was never a time where I was confused or left in the dark. Andrew was available at any time able to answer any questions I did have. He was able to get my case reduced to the best possible outcome and I could not be more grateful. If you are in need of a great DUI attorney, I highly recommend Andrew Wheeler, you will not be disappointed!

DUI Case - Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Andrew Wheeler and his team. At the age of 34 I was arrested for the first time. It was terrifying and humiliating and I thought that my life and everything I’d worked for was over. Andrew has the unique gift of removing the shame that one can feel after a DUI arrest and has... the experience and confidence to alleviate some of that terror. After my first meeting with him I knew I could trust him, and felt that there was a light at the end of very dark tunnel. Andrew works incredibly hard, is an exceptional communicator, and knows how to skillfully guide his clients through a very difficult time. During the course of my case, he and his team regularly kept me updated about the proceedings, and, ultimately, was able to negotiate my case down to reckless driving. During the entire process I always felt that I was a priority and that they were all constantly working hard for me, with my best interest in mind. Andrew and his team always had time to speak to me, even if it was just to reassure me or answer the same questions over and over. During all of my court proceedings Andrew or one of his associates was always with me guiding me through the process. Everyone that I encountered during the required classes and evaluations all said that I’d picked the right lawyer and was in the best hands, and they would choose him if they were in my situation. I could not have made it through this grueling ordeal without them, and I do not believe that every lawyer would have had the patience and willingness to deal with my case for $4,000. My case was headed to trial and Andrew and his team spent hours preparing for it. The hard work and expertise they provided me was a bargain at this rate. I was elated with the outcome of my case and would I could not be more grateful and appreciative to Andrew and his team. Being arrested for a DUI is no joke, especially in Vancouver/Clark County, WA. You need the best representation available – that is Andrew Wheeler and his team. J.B - Portland, OR

Consummate Professional

Andrew and his knowledgeable team calmly and very professionally lead me through, and cleanly out of, the extremely difficult and painful experience of a DUI charge. He was warm, personable, respectful, and outlined every possible avenue of scenarios I could face, pre-trial. He and his staff were al...ways available to answer questions throughout the entire legal process, which meant a great deal to me, as I grappled with the shame and humiliation of the situation. At trial, Andrew was a reassuring and confident presence, and it was evident that the other lawyers and judges had high esteem for both his legal expertise, and the decency with which he treated everyone in the courtroom. After sentencing, which was expertly negotiated, Andrew made sure I understood exactly the next steps I needed to do for restitution, outlined the timeline and events, and his staff continued to work with me as I completed those requirements. It is with complete certainty that I give the highest recommendation to Andrew Wheeler and his staff. I wish I could give him more stars! Really, I wish I could afford to rent a billboard to advertise his business. He is that good.

A wonderful attorney!!! I'd rate him 10 stars if I could!

About a year ago I was charged with a DUI, and at that time I felt so low and so hopeless I was in a total panic. I couldn't eat or sleep or deal with my normal daily routine because I was so worried. I was referred to Andrew Wheeler by a friend of mine who had hired him in the past for the same ch...arge. I was so nervous, as the judicial process for a DUI in Washington State is considerably confusing and difficult to understand without good help. From the time I had my consultation with Andrew and walked out of our meeting, I felt the world lifted off my shoulders! I knew within about the first 10 minutes of meeting Andrew that he was the attorney for me. Not only did he and his team (Alex Uskoski especially) walk me through every single step of the judiciary process ahead of time, but they also kept me informed about any action or decision regarding my case. The outcome was magical. Andrew was able to get my case completely thrown out based on an unlawful stop AND when the state decided to appeal this, we won again and my charges totally disappeared! I simply cannot say enough about Andrew Wheeler and his team. I would not send my own family or friends to anyone else if they ever are in need of help! Thank you, Andrew, for giving me my life back!

If are facing a DUI, this is the attorney for you

I recently found myself in a situation I never wanted to be in again, facing a DUI conviction and at risk of loosing everything. Given the fact that I had a reduced alcohol conviction 9 years prior I had given up all hope that there was anything any attorney could do for me. As many of you are doin...g now, I frantically searched the web for an experienced attorney that was willing to help, however after many calls I was reluctant to hire any of them as large majority of them were pessimistic at best when I told them I had a prior. When I called Andrew things were different.... He was helpful, understanding, listened to the things I needed to keep my job and worked diligently to accomplish them. Andrew helped me avoid a ignition interlock, had the court remove me off a SCRAM bracelet condition which is extremely expensive and uncomfortable to a much easier and affordable option that is rarely granted. I recently received the news from Andrew that the prosecutor had agreed to reduce my charges from a DUI to Negligent Driving in the 1st degree, no more jail time, no ignition interlock, no SR22, and most important to me, no license suspension. From the moment you speak or sit down with Andrew you will understand why he is the right attorney for you, his in-depth analysis and questionnaire on the specifics of your arrest are superb and he will keep you informed every step of the way as he understands this is a very stressful situation. I may have called just about every attorney in Clark County and in my opinion Andrew is the best there is, I would highly recommend consulting with him before making the decision to hire any other attorney.
