Joseph H. Hemming

I have enjoyed working with Joe Hemming as opposing counsel and mediator in divorce matters for many years. Joe is knowledgeable, trustworthy and highly professional. He is a zealous advocate for his clients while maintaining a reasonable and cooperative approach to cases. I highly recommend Joe H...emming.

Joe Hemming is an extremely competent and efficient lawyer. I am grateful that he handled my divorce case and in record time. After being married for 24 years and having three children (2 minors), I was told that the average length of time to get a divorce would be 12 - 18 months. Under my circu...mstances, I was surprised with my ex's demand for an unexpected and unwanted divorce. When she finally filed, I wanted her out of the house and the divorce completed as soon as legally possible. We counter-claimed and directed the process at our pace and in our manor. Joe Hemming and I accomplished this feat in an incredible 63 days. This is unheard of. He is very thorough and yet respectful to the other party and all involved. He also provided a helpful follow up package with suggestions for getting through the first year of this life changing event, that is somewhat dictated by a judgment document, governing your family's new status and mode of operation. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe Hemming as your lawyer in a divorce or any Family Law case.

Mr. Hemming handled my long and difficult divorce. Joe was recommended to me from a satisfied coworker and I have recommended Mr. Hemming to others, who are also happy with Mr. Hemming's professionalism. Mr. Hemming is always available for consultation. He responds quickly and appropriately. He k...nows the Oakland County Family Court well and knew when to fight and when to back off. In fact, as my divorce wore on, Mr. Hemming was very generous in saving me unnecessary fees and allowed me to handle some of the simple items myself to save money. While I doubt anyone enjoys the divorce process, Mr. Hemming was able to guide me through the pitfalls and fights hard in court when necessary. He has been responsive, decisive, and trustworthy. I am a very satisfied customer and eagerly recommend anyone to consult with him if you are facing a divorce.

I hired Mr. Hemming to handle my divorce case on 4/16 and let him go on 5/8 of the following month. In that short time, he believes he did $8,000 worth of work, when 2-3 days of each week out of the three weeks he was my lawyer he was out of town. First, my husband filed not one, but two ex parte... motions that Mr. Hemming did NOT file responses to, even after I gave him my answers and specifically asked him if we needed to answer each point of the motions filed by my husband. I had already researched divorce procedures and knew this to be untrue. Mr. Hemming made other crucial mistakes in my case and I knew I had to seek new council immediately. I sent Mr. Hemming communication that he was no longer my legal representation, that I had retained another attorney, and he confirmed that he understood. This was 5/8, I did NOT receive a bill until 6/9, where not only did I find his OUTRAGEOUS charges, but he continued to charge me AFTER I told him I no longer wanted him as my lawyer and that I had hired someone else. I have not found one good review on Mr. Hemming. If my husband hadn't surprised me with a divorce and ex parte motions, I would have done my homework first and found someone who cam e with a personal recommendation and good online reviews.
