Business Malpractice Suit -- Well done!

I highly recommend Don Wheaton. I know him through professional circles and hired him to help my client with a professional malpractice suit against her former CPA. Don was always prepared, extremely knowledgeable, and very kind. His ability to stay on top of court filing deadlines and anticipate ...the next steps was impressive. When we got into court, his preparation, professionalism, and comfort with the process was so stunning that the defending attorney asked for a settlement after a few hours. Don then guided us through the settlement process seamlessly, handled the payments so my client would not have to face the defendant, and even created a plan to keep the defendant on their payment schedule. Wow! We couldn’t have asked for better legal advice or representation. I plan to use Don for all my business and personal legal issues in the future.

Wonderful

Not only do I recommend attorney Donald Wheaton, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in a timely matter, he is a very compassionate, knowledge and trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. My family has hired Do...nald, he is a wonderful attorney and we could not have been more pleased with his services and will never go anywhere else.

Divorce

Mr. Donald Wheaton Jr. provided me the best representation in my divorce case. His level of expertise, experience and professionalism is beyond outstanding. He was always organized and well prepared for everything that was presented by the opposing counsel. This was one of the most difficult moments ...in my life! He is also very compassionate and I definitely was in good hands. I don’t know how to thank him enough. I highly recommend Don to everyone.

Didn't take long to know that Don was perfect for my case...

I spent less than an hour on the phone to tell Don why my son (and I) needed him, before this gut feeling came over me - the feeling of "he is going to be a great fit". He was knowledgeable, sharp, understanding, funny, and picked up pieces of the puzzle that even I couldn't explain...and it was ...MY story. I hired him, the same day, to file a motion to change parenting time, change schools for my 13 year old son, and remove child support. Lots of ups and downs from the day Don was hired to the day everything was finalized by the judge. Not my first rodeo when it comes to hiring an attorney, so I can assure you, he'll HELP because he cares, and if I had to do it all again, I'd spend less time on that initial phone call and hire him instantly. I cannot thank him enough for the advice, laughs, quick responses, and even those times when I was forced to hear the ugly truth...you made it all worth it. Justin thanks you too. :) You rock, Don.

Weak attorney

Don represented me in a divorce matter recently. The opposing counsel walked all over him the entire case. He did not tell the truth about how much alimony, child support, i would get. In the beginning the numbers he tells you are no where near reality, his tune changes at the end when you have no ch...oice bcz you've little or no money left to change attorneys. He has a racket deal going on with Attorney Lori Henderson, if you can't afford Lori you'll get referred to Don, then you get what you paid for, a very weak attorney.

I'm flabbergasted, and very saddened you had a bad experience. I work very hard for the utmost client satisfaction in every case, a difficult task in family law matters because so often no one is "happy" at the conclusion. I wish you had come to me directly with your concerns, and I ask you to please reach out at your convenience to discuss them. Bringing Lori Henderson into this is not fair to her; she is not currently taking clients and refers people to lawyers she trusts and knows will do good work. I have been trained that all feedback is a gift, regardless of its content, and I would appreciate the opportunity to address your criticisms head on as opposed to responding to an anonymous post.
