The Michael Jordan Defense Law!
First I want to say I hope that no one has to use Wes' services BUT if you find yourself in the situation where you do, he is 100% the man to call. My case took about 18 months to get through but every time we met and or went to court Wes was like a shark! He know's the in's and outs of the justice system and even when things were changes with the court or DA's office he adjusted without hesitation. He is very communicative and savvy, I would highly recommend him to anyone! As I said in the title, Wes operates like Michael Jordan, nothing stops him and he wants to win in the worst way with all the best intentions for his clients.

Dismissed!
I hired Mr. William Weston Rucker for a misdemeanor as well as a felony that carried 5-99 yrs in TDC. I was referred to him by someone else that he helped.
My life was literally in his hands. Mr. Rucker was friendly, professional and aggressive in a good way. He knew his way around the courts and always went the extra step. I had Faith in him all the way and I was not disappointed at all. My felony was DISMISSED!
I have dealt with some of the best lawyers in the past (unfortunately) and Mr. Rucker handled everything the way you would expect a top lawyer to do.
He is a great man, a family man and he genuinely cares about people. He will do the best he can and that alone goes along way.
I have since refereed him to others who are also pleased with his services. He will not give up on you. He takes every case personally.
I'm forever greatful.

Extremely Effective Attorney - Affordable and Passionate
You want THIS GUY in your corner!!!
I was a mess, my daughter was in BIG trouble facing felony charges and a motion to adjudicate another felony. The stress level was THROUGH THE ROOF... Then, I spoke with Wes, and he had an immediate calming effect on my out of control emotions. Wes is so very kind and gave my family the personal attention necessary to shut down the panic over these very serious charges and the prison time my daughter was facing.
Moreover, we never felt judged or thought of as criminals or bad people (nope, not once). Wes saw us as a good family going through a very unfortunate situation. He treated us with the utmost respect and was in touch with frequent updates on his approach to the case and any feedback he could give as his negotiations progressed. He kept us informed and grounded through the entire process. All of his work and concern and communication helped me to be able to breathe and sleep... seriously, it was BAD.
Wes is very creative and well connected with other experts and will not hesitate to call them in to consult or appear as necessary if the effort will help your case. Wes WILL NOT REST until he achieves the most positive outcome for your case and for your family.
Wes has reasonable fees for his services and worked with us on a payment plan that took the stress out of hiring a top notch attorney to represent my daughter.
Ultimately, WES IS A MIRACLE WORKER. When facing 5-99 years for your 4th felony charge and ultimately receiving NO JAIL TIME and the MAJ IS DISMISSED, with only a short extension on the original probation - you ABSOLUTELY, 110% KNOW TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR HEART - You made the best decision of your life when you hired Wes Rucker.
Our family is eternally grateful for his passion for the law and even more so for his kindness through this most difficult time. I pray we won't need these services in the future, but if the need ever arises for anyone I know, Wes Rucker will be the first person I will call.
Case Won
Wes is an excellent lawyer, very professional and thorough. He won my case, enough said.

Dismissal for My Active Duty Military Son
Mr. Rucker was highly referred by a very good friend of our family on my 23 year old son's DWI case in Texas. My son serves in the armed forces and is stationed outside of Texas. In an extremely efficient manner, Mr. Rucker reviewed, assessed and accepted his case - which was equally important to us, realizing Mr. Rucker was not accepting this case based solely on monetary value. Initially the Harris County District Attorney assigned to my son's case was not willing to negotiate any of the terms they had outlined - at minimum 2 years probation, community hours, various outreach classes and programs. It was through Mr. Rucker's through knowledge of the law, professionalism and great rapport with the District Attorney's office that my son's case was DISMISSED. In the event you, your loved one or friend need one of Houston's finest criminal defense attorney's please call Wes Rucker!!

Best Decision I Made
After visiting with several different lawyers for a dwi offense i settled on the firm Wes was working for and was lucky to have him on my side. Wes was engaged and always there every step of the way. I know other people that had had issues getting a hold of their lawyers, but Wes responded almost always the same day with any questions or concerns i might have had. Even though my first trial ended in a mistrial and had a good deal on the table from the prosecution, he told me he would fight for me if i wanted to go through a second trial which i did and he won it. He was great in the court room and i couldn't have been happier with Wes through the whole process. I planning on never needing a criminal lawyer again, but if i do Wes is the first person im calling.

Amazing! Dismissal
Let me first start by saying I went to so many lawyers to discuss my case, I saw all the big dogs including Thiesson. After much debate with friends and family, I went with my gut and choose Wes. My DUI case was dismissed after 4 monthes. Wes saved my license, even though I declined to blow. My blood was almost double the legal limit. I'm so grateful for Wes. He was extremely dilagant and attentive. I can't say enough great things about his service.

I Owe My Life to This Man Several Times Over. If You Want the Best Possible Outcome He Is Hands down Your Man.
I have retained Mr. Rucker for two cases, though he has actually worked on three different offenses for me. Once as an asssoicate for another attorney at the time, that instance was about 4 years ago now.
Each case Mr. Rucker has represented me for was a probation violation. I was on a 7 year first degree felony deferred adjudication. Thanks to him I still am instead of spending up to 99 years in prison. Every violation of my probation was a new felony law offense, which is obviously a terrible position to be in and the likelihood of avoiding prison time is slim to none. Yet without fail Mr. Rucker saved the day on each and every occasion, pulling some sort of legal magic out of his hat, or so it seemed to me. His extensive knowledge of the law and willingness to bring in extra help to tackle each arising issue is what makes him an invaluable attorney.
Not to mention that he cares. I know everyone says that about their lawyers in their reviews, but I'm here to tell you that Mr. Rucker or Wes as I call him truly does. While we were fighting one of the violations I was stuck in jail with an insane bond amount and my only hope of leaving county jail to freedom rather than Prison was Wes saving the day.
During that intensely stressful time he was always available to my family and friends who were concerned and had constant questions. He comforted each and every one of them and kept them all informed no matter how bothersome they likely were. On top of that he visited me regularly in jail to keep me informed and comforted, which is rare in an attorney. He went out of his way to reassure us all during that trying time.
That case ended with a dismissal and my probation being reinstated with no amendments whatsoever. Also a highly unlikely outcome unless you have an incredible attorney like Wes.
Then once again I found myself facing another felony charge and the possibility of my probation being revoked just 6 months before I was supposed to complete the entire 7 years. Again I felt hopeless and thought I was done for sure and going to prison without a doubt since this was my 4th violation of this probation.
Thanks to Wes and his hard work as well as his connections with the prosecutors; having been one himself for some time before he moved to the criminal deffense side of the law, he saved the day once more.
I found out I was pregnant with my second child while facing this charge and not only do I owe my life to this man but my children's as well for keeping their mother in their lives.
I can never repay him for all he has done for me and my family. He has also been very easy to work with financially and is understanding of people's real life situations. He cares about the person not the case file.
I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help no matter how big or small. But especially if you need a life saver. That's exactly what he is.
Pardon my lengthy review but I am very passionate about this mans work and want the world to know that they broke the mold when they made William Weston Rucker!
This is Not the End.
