Best Decision I Ever Made

From the first phone call with Ms. Polly, I was made to feel like a family member of the Wells Law Firm. She listened and I was assured that I had called the right law firm. I have never regretted making that call. I was a SC transplant and moved back to my home state to get my divorce but the di...vorce settlement had to be completed in SC. I never had a need for a lawyer in SC so I went into this blind. I picked the Wells’ Law Firm after spending days pouring over the internet, reading reviews, and lots of prayer. I feel I was led to this firm and have never regretted it. The entire settlement was researched, reviewed, worked through and completed long distance. I was required to travel back to SC only once and that was for mediation. His retainer is very reasonable and he allowed me to be included in the research process to save time and money making my retainer go further. He told me what he needed: I made phone calls, found documents, made notes, sent copies to him and filled in the blanks all from another state. I did everything I was told. At no time did I ever feel like my case was any less important or put aside because I was in another state. Response time to questions and other communications was very fast. I always felt like he had my best interest at heart and kept my expectations realistic, all the while being a wise voice of reason. Research, compilation of information and recall during mediation was nothing short of amazing. No stone was left unturned and any question or challenge from the other party was met with facts and receipts that were produced within seconds, with ease and confidence. The corner of the room was stacked with boxes and binders filled with documentation that was organized beyond perfection. There was nothing they did not know about my financial history and knew exactly where to put their hands on anything asked. I felt as if I had an army in front of me and every incoming bomb was destroyed before it could reach me. I sat in awe watching this finely-tuned team know what each other needed before the words were spoken. Each person on the Wells Law Team knows the position they play and they do it with exceptional skill and humility. The respect and appreciation they openly show for the expertise of every team member is refreshing. It is obvious this is a hand -picked team of individuals with very specific gifts and talents who have developed a close bond through their work. The kindness that exudes from every member of this law firm is comforting, their professionalism and knowledge is reassuring and their eye for detail and preparedness for every possible speed bump is unmatched. Not only are these people exceptional in their profession, they are the kind of people you want to take to a concert or grab a beer with after a long day. I would trust this law firm again and again and again.

Family Law Results

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Wells LawFirm and all the staff for their exceptional support during a very difficult time in my life. Mr. Wells, in particular, stood out with his vast knowledge and expertise. He guided me through the entire court process during my divo...rce and custody proceedings, ensuring that I understood every step along the way. Each meeting with him reassured me of his genuine care and dedication to my case. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the efforts of each and every staff member involved. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment were evident throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Wells LawFirm to anyone who unfortunately finds themselves in a similar situation. Their support made a significant difference, and for that, I am truly grateful.

Was glad that I chose the right attorney and firm.

Mr. Wells and firm handled my seperation case. After being told by my previous attorney that they could no longer handle my hearing after a conflict in dates, I was in desperate need to find someone to assist. I was referred to Wells Law Firm by a friend. Mr. Wells was able to clear his schedule t...o meet the next day. I enjoyed our conversation and his advice during the consultation. Feeling confident that we were on the same page with my expectations, he and his firm were hired. They instantly went to work, and handled my case meeting all my expectations. Couldn't be more thankful for how things worked out, and would absolutely use Mr. Wells and firm for any further needs.
