Justin is experienced, knowledgeable, and sharp.

I highly recommend Justin Wyatt as a family attorney. I hired him to file a charge of contempt against my ex husband who had not paid child support in a year. He and his staff were always attentive, detail oriented, and quick to respond throughout the entire process- making the experience seamless an...d effective. They caught small mistakes in numbers and told me exactly what I could expect and represented me in the best way possible on my court date. I felt comfortable during what I thought would be an extremely unpleasant experience. They went above and beyond in so many ways and got everything they promised to do- including getting my attorney fees paid for. I have hired other family attorneys and will never hire anyone else again.

Custody Battle

We hired Justin to get custody of our daughter who was 14 and wanted to live with us. It was a long process but Justin and his staff helped us every step of the way. Justin was like a bulldog in the courtroom and give it his all on our behalf. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone who need...s help with child custody for sure.

good in court, not otherwise

Justin represented me on a contempt charge against my ex-husband for back child support. He didn't seem to prepare much, but asked really pointed and pertinent questions in court, getting a satisfactory settlement for me, which included repayment of my legal fees. I've been trying to contact him fo...r weeks, sending emails and making phone calls to find out how I'm getting reimbursed for the fees, with no response. He owes me over $1100.

Justin Kicks Butt In the Courtroom

I'm involved in a major case where child's custody is at stake in an international dispute with criminal, civil, and international law issues. Last Friday I was defending a contempt complaint from my ex before a brand new Judge. My ex was asking the Court to throw me in Jail. When we walked out of th...e courthouse I was not only a free man, but the Judge had declared I was to have sole legal and physical custody, and my ex was ordered to pay my attorneys fees! Justin Wyatt is very strong in the courtroom. His work as a former prosecutor comes through when he seizes on an issue in cross-examination and squeezes it for all it's worth. This is clearly his strong suit. If you have a lying ex that you want to see exposed before the Judge, he's your man Be sure to feed him the appropriate facts and evidence, and desired outcomes in a clear manner, in writing. Your case is far from his only case, and he does not have superhuman memory, or telepathic abilities. (This almost became a critical issue in one hearing, but he is very nimble on his feet, and turned it around quickly)

AWESOME, AWESOME and then SOME!!!

Mr. Wyatt knows the system and he is extremely knowledgeable of the laws. He is incredibly bright and very articulate. He has represented me in 2 cases that he won and I was awarded my attorney fees. He is very reasonable and honest, gets the job done and he knows the law inside and out. I highly... recommend him. A++++++++.
