Do NOT Hire Jennifer Wheeler (formerly Wood)

Jennifer Wheeler (nee Wood) was unprofessional and developed bias unrelated to facts. She would disparage requests to support motions to protect our child from my ex's (and his family's) behaviors, dismissing them as "not causing harm". While she claims to have experience with special needs, she is u...nable to accurately assess adverse impacts on children (let alone special needs children) as it relates to violations of court orders. She did more harm than good. Her resulting "Parenting Agreement" was so convoluted, that it caused more stress and trauma for the child because they were being bounced around like a ping-pong ball on a weekly basis. STAY AWAY!!!!

Stay Away

This attorney ruins lives. She is driven by money, bills fraudulently, and is one of the cruelest attorneys I have met. She does not know much, if anything, about autism and only makes situations worse. She will get caught in lie after lie and then blame the parent. She drives children (and parents...) to emotional breaking points and has no concern for families and her impact upon them.

Horrific

The absolute worse, financially driven, argues for the other party. She will real you in with her advocacy for children with autism and how hard she is willing to work for you only to get paid and flip a switch. I strongly advise against hiring her, reviews on her will confirm this over and over.

Google "Jennifer Wood Plainfield" and read reviews on her before her name change. Me, and about half dozen others, have similar stories. I know for a fact that she lies to judges. She would make reports and claim she contacted specific people, such as teachers, who I am friendly with. She claimed the... school had so many issues with me and my child and offered to pay to send my child to a school for autistic children (he's not autistic). When I contacted the teacher, social worker, principal, even the superintendent they all said the same thing. No one talked to them and they have no behavioral concerns with my kid. Also, there was never an offer to send him elsewhere. My ex also continually broke the custody order and police reports were filed. She was more angry that I filed reports than my ex interfering with parenting time.

  • 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.
