Joe Hemming is a winner!

When I first met Joe, I was shell shocked, confused and pretty fragile. My life had been turned upside down and I needed to file for divorce. Over the course of our work together, he helped me not only understand the process of divorce, but made me feel confident and secure at each step of the way. ... I can’t say enough about his work ethic, knowledge about divorce law and his consistent, straightforward approach. Both Joe and his assistant Mary made themselves available at all times and they were both thorough and prompt when I had questions or concerns. He only called meetings when there were details to review or decisions to make, but stayed in constant communication as new information was received. When I got overwhelmed, Joe helped calm the storms and when I needed gentle reminders to complete difficult tasks, he sent me those too. With his guidance and expertise, we negotiated an excellent settlement and reached an alimony agreement, for me and my family, that was more than favorable. Joe Hemming is truly a winner!

Satisfied Client

Mr. Hemming handled my divorce case & I was very pleased with his representation. He is professional, fair, experienced, knowledgeable & trustworthy. He (& his office) kept me informed and worked with me during a difficult time. He correctly documented all of his work and only for necessary action...s. I was glad to have his guidance and straight-forward advice on how to best handle an approach a difficult divorce. I recommend Joe Hemming to anyone with a divorce case or family matter. He operates in multiple local counties with experience. I would hire Mr. Hemming again without question.

Very satisfied client!

I cannot express how thankful I am that I had Joe Hemming on my side as I dealt with very frustrating legal issues. He didn't just help me navigate the process, ensure that I understood my options, and fight for a positive outcome for me, but I also believe he truly cared about me and my case— he was... very empathetic and kept me sane as my case seemed to have one hurdle after another (there was nothing that could’ve been done to avoid any of them!). I would highly recommend him.

OUTSTANDING DIVORCE LAWYER!

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.

Informed, professional, astute, and highly trustworthy!

I hired Joseph Hemming to assist with a family member's divorce in 2013. He was extremely helpful, advised and guided us through the numerous legal hurdles, and was instrumental in positively and effectively concluding a potentially very volatile divorce process. His conduct in Court was professional... and sensitive, and in the end, we felt that his representation was superior.
