Joel Machtley Wiest

Joel is one of the best Attorney's around. I personally will not use anyone else as my Attorney. Joel has been my Attorney for 17 years. He helped me with custody and then the termination of parental rights against my oldest 2 kids father. Then he helped me when they got adopted by someone else. Thi...s year he helped me in a personal injury law suit for my daughter and myself bc we were hit by a drunk driver. I got exceptional service from Stacey, Chad and Joel. Joel even had Chad do a home visit when I was in casts and a wheelchair.

I'd love to give Joel 5 stars but working with him wasn't pleasant. He never returned phone calls and didn't help my case much. He represented me in an automotive accident case and wanted to keep it open in case I suffered any future related injuries. Nearly two years after the accident I started suf...fering with consistent neck problems and when I tried to reach out to him, he never contacted me back. I called and emailed; nothing. Because of him I never received anything for pain and suffering. Had I represented myself I would have been able to collect something. I actually worked against me to hire him. He convinces you that hiring him is for your benefit but if he's not making a ton of money off of you, he completely ignores you and makes you feel like you're not even worth a single second of his time.
