Best lawyer in town.

Me. Hemming handled everything in a timely and fashionable manor. Any questions I had regarding the trial, case, or even simple legal questions were answered with experience and knowledge that other lawyers lack. Mr. Hemming will always be my go to lawyer for any other legal actions. Very fair priced... for his time and his efforts. Joe I can not thank you enough for everything. You and your staff have done for me!

Outstanding Attorney!

Joseph Hemming is an outstanding attorney. Divorce is a very difficult process to go through and Joe guided me through it. His expertise in this field is awesome. I was very pleased with his performance in and out of the courtroom. His overall costs were very fair.

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.

Excellent Family Attorney

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.

DO NOT HIRE!!! WORST MISTAKE! Could cost you more than money!

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.
