Throughout the entirety of my time dealing with Mr. Wellington he was always checking in, giving advice, following up on emails and paperwork and making sure I was in the best place for my case. In the end CASE DISMISSED and I would not have been able to do so without the help of Mr. Wellington.

He understood my case or situation and took it seriously and personally. I couldn't be more thankful. Choosing him as my lawyer was one of the best decisions I ever made. I highly recommend him to anyone who's in need of finding a very good lawyer.
I've reached out to Mr. Wellington on several occasions to ask about procedure and strategy for DC criminal and traffic matters. He is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. I had a complex extradition issue once and his advice and suggestions helped me get a young man out of custody and reunited with his family who were so grateful and relieved. Since that day, I have referred him other matters and he is one of the few people I can confidently send cases to without having to worry about whether the client will be in good hands. As of yet, I have not had any issues whatsoever and have been told by people who hired him that they were very happy with the representation and that they got excellent results. In addition to being a great attorney, Mr. Wellington is very well rounded, personable and donates his time to help others who need legal help but can't afford it. That says a lot about him and his character and how much he enjoys his work. I highly recommend this attorney!

I was arrested and charged with a DUI that I thought was a slam dunk for the prosecutor. I googled DUI lawyers and the reviews for Wellington were high. I, therefore, decided to go with him. He advised me what to do immediately and I followed through. He stood by me and assured me that all will be fine. The result after 4 months and a couple of court appearances, the case was dismissed. Best value for money if you asked me. If you find yourself in a pickle, call Wellington. You will not regret it one bit!
AMAZING: I wouldn't have wanted anybody other than you by my side! Client, customer care. End of review.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wellington to anyone in need of counsel! He’s very personable, extremely resourceful, and will fight for you!
Attorney Wellington was very responsive & spoke honestly about the chances of my case & was able to give his professional opinion to ease any concerns that I may have had. The best-case scenario occurred & the case was dropped by the prosecution before going to trial.
I really got off. Mr Wellington is a miracle worker. He truly cares about helping you out and works really hard to get you the best deal. If you ever need a defense lawyer for DUIs or anything else go with him. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would.
