With a grandfather who was an attorney, the law has always been a part of Wes Buchanan’s life. Wes’s grandfather used boxing as discipline for college and law school, and eventually, his legal career. In tough trials, Wes sometimes felt as if he were stepping into the ring himself, inheriting not just his legal legacy but the fighter's instinct that turned every case into a personal bout worth winning.

For nearly fifteen years, Wes has been standing up for clients in courtrooms across Northeast Ohio. He established the criminal defense law firm Wesley Buchanan, Esq. to put those strengths to work for those who need them most: people who have been charged with a crime.

Everybody makes a poor decision; however, when a poor decision results in a criminal case, the challenge ahead can seem overwhelming. The government seems to hold all the cards: the police, prosecutors and courts don’t just know the system; they are the system. The person facing charges is often completely unfamiliar with how that system operates, and they have everything at stake: their reputation, relationships, career, and freedom. They need someone on their side to give them answers and level the playing field. That’s where we come in.

We know that you are more than just the charges against you, and that you want to put those charges behind you and get your life back. Our attorneys offer you not only reassurance, but straightforward advice about your legal options and what to expect so that you can feel confident as your case unfolds.

We understand that when you have been charged with a crime, it can feel like that casts a shadow over everything else in your life. You want a criminal defense law firm that takes your charges as seriously as you do. We make a point of being responsive, so you never feel uninformed or alone in your legal matter.

We also prioritize thorough preparation of every case; like trained fighters in the ring, we are ready for anything an opponent may throw at us. We know the system, we understand what we are up against, and we refuse to be intimidated or to back down when your future is on the line.
