Posted by James | August 06, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Spousal Support

My wife raised two daughters in Downingtown,PA. My wife and I bought a house in Michigan near where I grew up. After 7 months my wife decided to end the marriage. After a month her being gone i finally was able to talk to her. She asked me if would I file for divorce. That I did in the state of Mich...igan in the beginning of March. A process server, served my wife with the complaint at my daughter's in Coatesville,PA in March. My wife was living with my daughter. My wife went to Domestic Relations in Chester County and filed for Spousal support in the middle of April. I contacted Mr. Legg to represent me. After consultation, I hired him. He filed a preliminary objection to jurisdiction. Shortly there after my wife withdrew her motion. Thank you Wesley.

Highly Recommended

Wes did a great job handling my case. He fixed an error in my original divorce filing and took care of everything in a prompt & professional manner.

Diligent and Effective

Wesley Legg originally assisted the attorney I had hired to assist me through my divorce. When she retired it was a certainty that I would hire Wesley to see the divorce through to the end. He has done a great job following through and helping me with all the final matters. He is quick to respond and... always diligent and professional in all he has done for my divorce case.

Furthermore, he works very well with his clients, who are his number one priority, & he fights for the best result all of the time.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
