I would highly recommend Wrix to represent you! He is an awesome attorney! He not only is very personable and friendly...he know's his sh.t! He's worked with me on payment arrangments and charged a fair price! He helped me win my custody battle and I will forever be grateful for his advice and expertise!

I have never been in trouble in all my 40 plus years. I was stopped/searched with no cause at a roadblock in Georgia right as you cross Florida line. I was arrested due to prescriptions NOT in their correct containers. There were NO narcotics, however they wrote them up however they felt the need to make the arrest. Just spending one night in jail horrified me and it caused so much stress on me, and my family. It litterally haunted me for months, now having a record and needing to defend myself. I was determined determined to find the best attorney and one who would listen and care about what happened and fight for me. That is exactly what I found in Mr. McIlvaine, he fought for me and had the charges were dismissed. He worked with me with the fees too, he really wanted your trust and he certainly earned mine. I pray to never need him again, but in the event I do he is the one I would call.

Excellent attorney! Wrix did an outstanding job of explaining things as we worked through the legal process and he did a totally awesome job in wrapping it up. I would certainly use him again and recommend him.

Wrix Mcilvaine is a solid lawyer who knows what he is doing. I was falsely accused of and charged with extremely serious sexual crimes. When I was in jail he visited me regularly and paid a lot of attention to my case. He got me out on bond on the first try. He knows how the system works very well. He is a rising star out of Brunswick GA.

I had to hire a lawyer at the last minute, my case was not typical in any fashion. At times I know I was not even the easiest client to deal with. However Wrix maintained a professional attitude at all times, represented me and my issues and in the end after a tough lengthy battle we finally we're able to come to a conclusion that was very satisfactory. I would definitely use his services again.

Wrix was my lawyer through a complex and expansive criminal case. He went beyond what he had to do and maintained open lines of communication through every phase of my legal battle. Very professional and tenacious attorney, highly recommended!

Wrix is fantastic at what he does. We were nervous going in to file bankruptcy. He never made us feel rushed, and always answered all of our questions. He made our bankruptcy experience seemless. I highly recommend him!

I hired him for a probate matter of which he was ill equipped to handle my case. I would not recommend this counselor no matter how many certifications he has on his web site. To be specific he was suppose to file my case after I made a partial payment, however, he went on vacation instead. When we went to court and the judge asked him why he did not file in a more timely manner and he stated that he did not get notification until AFTER HE CAME BACK FROM VACATION even though I told him to file immediately because of the urgency of my case. I ended up paying his initial fee and MORE TO ACHIEVE the most favorable outcome for myself but that did not happen .... I would not recommend this lawyer for probate or family law ...period
