Divorced In 8 Months

Mr. Hisaw represented me in my divorce case. He provided timely updates and productive advice for me to consider throughout the process. The total time from filing to final decree was 8 months, which was impressive because I had an ex-wife who was very inflexible, along with considering the best ou...tcome for my 3 children. I am pleased with the outcome and I am happier now than I've ever been in my life...and so is my ex-wife.

Review Jerry Wesley Hisaw

I went through a terrible contested custody trial during my divorce. The original lower court ruling left me financially ruined and stripped me to limited visitation of my two minor children and no custody. I hired Wes to represent me in appellate court to challenge the original ruling. Wes handle...d my appeal at the State Court of Appeals, provided oral argument in front of a panel of Justices, prepared briefs on my behalf all the way to the State Supreme Court. At both the Court of Appeals and State Supreme Court, Wes helped me with Reverse Render, Reverse and Remand of the original ruling. In the end, after 4 years of appellate court appearances, oral arguments, and briefs, Wes was able to help me return to financial solvency, and most importantly was able to gain JOINT legal and physical custody of my minor children, with a visitation schedule that provides me with approximately 50/50 physical custody/visitation. I am a licensed CPA, and Wes was able to help me with reversal of the original financial obligations, and provide tax assistance in the final disposition of my custody case. Wes is professional, extremely knowledgeable about case law, taxes, finances and due process. My only regret is not hiring Wes for my original trial. Since my divorce, I have found an attorney that is ethical, intelligent, trustworthy, and compassionate beyond just representing a client in chancery court, but truly understands a parent's desire to be with their children. Wes is a rare find, and I will use him for all future legal matters.

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.
