Wack scammer

Looks like this attorney needs an attorney himself soon. I wish I read all the comments before hiring him. Be warned. This man took my payment and never did anything. I can't get ahold of him, and this is very bad especially in these times were we really need legal help!

This is an absolute lie. How am I still practicing if I am taking people's money and doing nothing. Who are you? An anonymous person leaving bad reviews on a site that I have no control over? if you have an issue that we need to resolve then feel free to contact me. You are the person who hired me to represent your girlfriend in a criminal matter and then you both left the country a couple of months before your scheduled court appearance. Even still, I told you and your girlfriend that I could still resolve the matter. But you actually did NOT pay my fee. So stop lying. You made a $500 payment on a $5000 fee and then dissappeared.

Excellent Attorney

I am very pleased with the service provided by Wesley Terry. He handled my case in a seamless and flawless manner. There was nothing left undone and when we had the court date it lasted 10-15 minutes. All correspondence was handled quickly and he followed up even when the case was discharged. He was ...very reasonable, fair, clear and honest. I would recommend him to anyone!

Thank you Beth. I enjoyed working your case and resolving all your legal matters.

Has anyone heard from him in the last 3 months?

Wes successfully filed the bankruptcy and completed all the work in reasonable time. However I hired him for another case and he went silent, only responding to 2 of 25 emails/ calls/ texts that he was 1. Sick and 2. Moving offices. Have not heard from him or received a refund (6 months later). I do ...hope he’s ok, but could have had someone close out his business affairs.

Interesting. It is very hard to reach attorney's by phone. But I guarantee I do not ignore emails and texts. If you have a second matter that we could not resolve, then I am really sorry. But I cannot help anonymous reviews. Typically, they are designed only to hurt the business anyway. I have nothing to do with this website. I don't own it. And it is a travesty that Avvo is allowed to create profiles for attorneys without their consent and then rate them and allow people to leave reviews. Good luck.

Liar

This attorney is a very big liar, I paid him a deposit fee of $600.00 to start my bankruptcy. He did not do things in a timely manner and when I asked for a refund he followed it up with numerous lies, stating that he had completed work on my case that never happened. He also lied as to how the situa...tion played out. I left a review on Thumbtack about his services and he went on to advise everyone how much I owed in students loans, that is personal information. Do you really want an attorney like this to represent you, please stay away he is lazy and a very big liar. Think of it this way, if I had already paid him half the money to handle my cases, why would I fire him? It was because of his laziness and him dragging his feet on my case, not to mention when I texted him he told me that he just said what was on the top of his head at the time. This is the reason I fired him, because being a professional and an attorney you do not say what is on the top of your head it made him look incompetent. All the things he said happen is wrong on so many levels, I didn't realize how big of a liar an attorney can be, until now.

Hello Taketra Boyd. This is idiotic. You think you can just get on and leave a scathing anonymous review because you do not like what happened. You called me while I was driving and asked a question about your case. I told you I don't have the file in front of me so I am speaking off the top of my head. I was driving for crying out loud. And just like that you said you were not comfortable and wanted a refund. I said no and I am glad I said no. I had already completed the work for filing and even gave it to you in case you wanted to file it yourself. We have no control of reviews which is why everyone thinks they can get on here and lie. Go back and look at Thumbtack. I am the highest rated attorney because I get the job done. And when you disclose to the public details of your case and even misrepresent our discussions, then your information is no longer privileged, as I am allowed to defend myself against your lies.
