Serving the needs and interests of a diverse range of commercial clients throughout the Puget Sound region and all across the state, Mr. Wheat provides unmatched representation and support to those who have legal needs involving any of the following:

·        General commercial legal counsel

·        Transactional services such as contract drafting and review, intellectual property protection acquisitions, and more

Before entering the legal profession, Mr. Wheat served as a combat medic for the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
