Wheatly, Wheatly, Weeks & Lupton strives to carry on the traditions of its founder, Claud R. Wheatly, Sr. of providing high quality legal services to people in need of a caring and qualifying attorney.

Claud R. Wheatly, Sr. graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1907 but did not begin the practice of law until 1908, after he completed his teaching obligations at a small country school in Sea Level, North Carolina. He opened his office in 1908 in Beaufort and continued to practice until his untimely death in 1947, being joined in his practice by his son, C. R. Wheatly, Jr. in 1941.

One of Mr. Wheatly, Sr.’s many accomplishments during his career was the establishment of the North Carolina Highway Patrol, whose first graduating class was photographed on the front porch of his home in Beaufort.

The firm of Wheatly, Wheatly, Weeks & Lupton endeavors to bring compassion, dedication and skill in helping individuals and families meet their legal needs.
