About

Wes grew up in Muldrow, OK, a small town in eastern Oklahoma.  During high school, he enjoyed quiz bowl, speech and debate, and playing in the band. After high school, he attended Duke University in Durham, NC, where he double-majored in economics and philosophy.  He remembers fondly the 2001 basketball season when he was a sophomore and Duke won the National Championship. After undergrad, he attended Washington University in St. Louis School of law, where he received his J.D.  After law school, he thought (briefly) about attending medical school, and entered into a post-baccalaurate/pre-medicine program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. After sitting for the Oklahoma bar, Wes entered into prosecution, and worked for the State of Oklahoma as an assistant District Attorney.  Following that, he worked at a small firm in McAlester.  In 2014, Wes opened his own law firm, and has since immensely enjoyed practicing on his own, where he can better serve his clients. When he’s not in court, he can be found doing various nerdy things like playing Magic the Gathering, video games, or reading about space.  Other than that, he enjoys driving, watching OU football, and Duke basketball. EDUCATION: -Duke University, A.B. 2003 (Economics and Philosophy)-Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, J.D. 2006 ADMITTED TO PRACTICE: -Oklahoma-Federal District Court (Northern, Eastern, Western Oklahoma; Western Texas)-United States Court of Appeals, 10th Circuit-Cherokee Nation-Choctaw Nation

Wes was a tremendous help in our custody battle. He was very knowledgeable and handled our case very well and to say it was a "difficult case", would be quite the understatement! He was extremely reasonable with cost and truly cared about our sons well-being in the situation

Wes was great! He pulled no punches. He let us know from the start, what could have happened, but at the same time was working hard for his client. In the end, Wes got the best outcome that we didn’t ever expect.

Highly recommend Mr. Cherry, as long as you do your part, he will definitely get his part done and get you a way better deal than what was given at first.

Wes is a great attorney. He is a caring man. He is a people person. He also cares for his clients. I hired him when i was deep in my addiction and went against his advice and did not go to rehab for a year and he resigned from my case only out of his concern for me. And that shows that he truly cares for his clients. I hired him on another felony gun charge that he got dropped down for me and i was on a revoke. And i just hired him to take a case for my fiancee that is in prison to county jail on a writ. He just finished that case on May 28 and he done another amazing job. Now my fiancee will soon be getting released on an anke monitor and coning home to me. I will never ever hire another attorney but Wes to handle any of my legal matters. He even helps me financially. Only because ive made my commitments to pay him in time and not owe him any money. He is the man for legal problems and for caring for people also and just to be a friend.

I'm from Arkansas and needed legal counsel after getting a speeding ticket in Oklahoma. Unfamiliar to the process, I called Wesley to which he walked me through the deferment option to avoid retaining a lawyer and not getting points on my record. I appreciated him for being honest in his consultation. He was so helpful and kind. Other lawyers quoted me for $500 retainment fees for doing something I could easily do myself. Highly recommend Mr. Cherry.

Wes is the best Attorney you could ask for. He was reachable even after business hours and always helped calm down the anxiety of my situation. Most amazing child custody attorney that you could ask for. Very knowledgeable and professional but cares about his clients.
