John Wheatley

John Wheatley is a personal injury attorney based out of our Charlotte office who’s committed to advocating for accident victims throughout North and South Carolina. With a strong passion for justice and a relentless dedication to helping those in need, John has become a trusted advocate.

John’s journey into personal injury law began during his time in law school, where he uncovered a profound interest in this area of law. His motivation stems from a desire to assist individuals who often face daunting challenges when pursuing settlements from insurance companies. John recognized that his innate skill set aligned with the qualities required to excel as an attorney, coupled with an unwavering commitment to helping others.

Insurance companies are notorious for offering settlements that may fall short of covering the full extent of an individual’s injuries. These injuries can result in substantial medical expenses and enduring pain, impacting lives for years to come. John firmly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to retain legal representation to fight for a settlement that comprehensively covers these damages.

Throughout his career, John has passionately represented numerous clients in their pursuit of justice. Notably, he secured a remarkable $300,000 settlement for a client who suffered severe emotional trauma following an accident. This achievement underscores John’s unwavering dedication to securing fair compensation for his clients, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Outside of his legal practice, John enjoys an active lifestyle. He is an avid basketball player and golfer, reserving his golf outings primarily for the warmer seasons. John is a devoted fan of Alabama football along with other sports. Additionally, he cherishes the time spent outdoors and relishes quality moments with his beloved dogs, Doug and Queenie, and his fiancé, Lily.
