My only experience with this firm was a lovely phone call with Lynne at the front desk, and she turned a dreadful day around for me. I hope she never leaves your office. She is an asset and an absolute delight!

My name is Mitch Williams. John Wesley was by attorney in 2 recent lawsuits. That carried on for for 6 and 8 years. He was referred to me by my daughter and I can't say enough About the positive experiences I had over the course of that time. Attention. to detail was second to none. John kept me informed every step of the way. Until a positive outcome was achieved. Over the course of that time We became good friands. I can't say enough good things. About my experience with his law firm. With the settlement he achieved for me. I was able to purchase a home outright and I feel great about my future going forward. John Wesley and his law firm are top-notch and you can't go wrong.

Micheal Mcgrail, Karen, Lauren and Lynn are awesome. Whether I sent an email or called, I was always taken care of within minutes. Believe me, I felt like I was bothering them, but they always made me feel like I was the only client that needed a question answered. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone who has been involved with a work place injury. Superb quality and always made me feel special. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. 💜 Recently Michael helped with my social security disability, and made it easy and he made sure I won my case. Don't go to another lawyer. Go see Mike Mcgrail, he will always be there for you and help to ease your mind and make any anxiety you have, disappear. Best lawyer in Fort Walton Beach, probably in the world. 💜 🤙

While it was just our consultation, it was refreshing to have a great experience. In today’s world in any business, when you find caring people, you want to support them and let others know about it. So if you need a good lawyer, make sure to call Mr. John. Thank y'all for your time and all your help!

Mr. McGrail fought for my daughter and I for many years. He never gave up. I wouldn't be able to restart my life with my daughter if it wasn't for his help getting out of a domestic abusive marriage and settling all my medical. Even when my family gave up on me and pulled away all support, this man still fought for me and never gave up. I couldn't be happier and this man is the greatest advocate to the highest ability. He will fight for you and yours. He will set the real record straight. Plus he was amazing working in tangent with my other family law lawyer and really had my back when I needed someone the most.

Mr. John Wesley handled both my Work Comp and Disability claims it was a long journey over 2 years. Mr. John Wesley and Mr. Michael McGrail both are professional, knowledgeable and know their business especially when dealing with the Big Bad Insurance Companies that don't like to pay their claims. Mr. Wesley and Mr. McGrail are kind, caring, respectful and listen to their clients needs. They will fight for you and your family to get what you are owed from the Big Bad Insurance Company that doesn't like to pay for injuries that were caused by their policy holder. The entire office staff are very professional and caring. If you want a Law Firm that will fight for you and your family this is the firm you need to hire to represent you to fight toe to toe with the Big Bad Insurance Company.

I was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor in May of 2020, at the height of Covid-19, and underwent a craniotomy for 7 1/2 hours to remove the tumor! I filed for disability and was denied twice over a period of one year and a half until I found Mr. McGrail! I called him and explained my situation in detail and he was so understanding and took on my case! I could really feel from our phone conversation he cared about me and all I had gone through! After a few months of him helping me with my case I was finally awarded disability! I was really frustrated with the entire disability process and mountains of paperwork on my own but, with Mr. McGrail on my side things went smoothly! I trusted him completely! I can’t thank him and his staff enough for all they did to help me. I will highly recommend him to friends and family or anyone frustrated with the Social Security Disability process! He really does care and will work hard for you. Thanks again! God bless you all!!!

I was injured on the job, but was having difficulty getting my injuries treated by the worker's comp insurance company of my employer. After being ignored for weeks I called Michael McGrail and my problems began being solved. He assured me that he would do all he could and things began progressing immediately. The process did take several months because of the way the law is written, but he updated and reassured me throughout the process. My pay is coming in, my injuries are being treated, and my care is being covered. Mr. McGrail is doing a stellar job and I highly recommend him.

Mr. McGrail not only helped me with my Worker's Comp case, but also my SSDI case! I could not ask for a better attorney to work for me on these two cases! He, along with his paralegal, Karen, were on top of everything! I never had to worry or wonder where things were in my cases! I could contact either of them and would get a response almost immediately!! The office staff is polite! Overall, I would give 10 stars if I could!! Thank you Mike! For everything!!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and all of the staff at Wesley, McGrail & Wesley. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the entire process after I experienced some injuries in an auto accident. I always felt supported and well represented and knew I could call him and his staff if I had any questions.

McGrail and staff were excellent from the very start for my workers comp case. I called shortly after my work injury because I was pretty much lost and scared as to what would happen next. They started by giving me free advice and laying out expectations as far as timelines and treatment were concerned. Afterwards they told me that if my dealings/treatment with my worker’s comp agency got to a certain point, to call them back and they would represent me. Sure enough, that time came, and I wasn't getting approved for surgery that was needed (and recommend by the doctors that workers comp had sent me to), so I called them back and they were right on the case. From that point until my settlement, they were nothing but kind, prompt, and (importantly) honest. With an attorney behind me, procedures and appointments were getting done more promptly and communication with workers comp now went through their office, so my stress levels went down a ton. When it came time for the settlement, McGrail laid out the numbers for me, told me the chances based on his previous cases and in the end left it up to me to make the final decision on the settlement amount. Attorney’s payment for workers comp cases come straight out of the settlement amount so there was no stress as far as wondering how I would pay him. I could not recommend McGrail more. Just give him a call and I promise that right away you will be put at ease! They are now counted among my friends and I am forever grateful for the help they provided me.

Mike McGrail helped me with my sons automobile accident by handling all the hospital claims and insurance which was no easy task. But for me, it was an extremely easy and stress-free experience. Why? Because the guy knows what he’s doing!! Mike’s a true professional and extremely smart, friendly, knowledgeable, and organized plus he’s a great communicator and can explain some pretty complicated processes in layman’s terms. This alone is a talent a lot of folks do not possess. If you or a loved one is in an accident, God forbid, I highly recommend contacting Mr. Mike.

Highest possible recommendation! Wesley, McGrail & Wesley represented my autistic son Alex. They fought tirelessly for over two years and spent more hours on his case than I can count. They treated my son like he was a multi million dollar client and I have found they treat everyone with this attention. I wanted to pay them more money because of the massive work efforts and he said, "absolutely not." They are true professionals with the highest levels of integrity and the most competent legal firm have worked with in my 57 years. I give them the highest possible recommendation!

John Wesley was my accident attorney. He was wonderful from the start of our first meeting, warm and welcoming. He explained the process and always answered any questions I had. John's paralegal, Candi was absolutely the best! She always responded quickly throughout the entire case, she has even answered questions for me since, even though I am done with their services. Even Lynne the receptionist is great. I highly recommend giving them a call if you need an attorney.
