Let’s just say there are much better options

I’m not sure if he’s given up and about to retire but he will run up charges and take your money so that you can get no results. He will lengthen the case purposely to add extra charges and leave you with thousands extra that you didn’t expect. Will he get the job done. The answer is no. Chose someon...e else.

3rd experiance

This will be the third time I have had to yous Mr. Wykoff for issues with my X wife.He has been very professional and I feel has done an excellent job every time. I would recommend him to anyone.

I would not recommend Mr. Wykoff.

Mr. Wykoff handled my divorce case, he did not look out for my best interest or try to negotiate on my behalf. He was offended that I took the time to look up what my rights were for mediation. I did not feel he was trustworthy because he never did what he said he was going to do but he ran up quit...e a bill. Lastly he made an unnecessary an inappropriate remark to my daughter. I would never recommend Mr. Wykoff to anyone.

Horrible Lawyer Who WILL NOT Fight For You

Mr. Wykoff is the most spineless, incompetent, lawyer I have had the misfortune of giving several thousand dollars. He sits in the courtroom with a smug grin, never lifting a finger to object to anything the opposing counsel or witnesses state. He lost me custody of my child and I will never forgive ...him. If you are smart, you will look elsewhere for legal counsel. Just call his office and listen to the sleazy ad playing while you're on hold. It makes it sound as if he's selling used cars. If you choose him, you will undoubtedly lose, and now that you are informed about his lack of expertise, you will only have yourself to blame.

Outstanding attorney - great results!

Mr. Wykoff has represented me over the years on various matters including a divorce, post-divorce custody and child support issues, a traffic matter, criminal matters involving my child, and has even ended threatened civil litigation against me with a well crafted letter. He provided me with outstand...ing results on every matter he has represented me on. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.
