I felt heard

My review of Wiley Wheeler PC, especially my experience with Kalandra Wheeler, was incredibly refreshing and validating. I had gotten so used to feeling unheard, unseen, and dismissed, but my consultation with her was completely different. She truly listened to me, and for once, my concerns weren’t i...nvalidated or brushed aside. At a time when I needed it most, her professionalism and attentiveness made such a difference. I felt respected, taken seriously, and finally heard. It was just so nice to experience that kind of support, especially in this moment of my life.

Honest, professional, and knowledgable

I had an initial consultation with Ms. Wheeler to go over my case and get advice as to whether I have something legally actionable with respect to gender-based harassment at my workplace. She took the time to listen and let me speak and asked clarifying questions along the way. Throughout our convers...ation, she spoke plainly about the realities surrounding my case and walked me through the potential outcomes that for various paths we might take in dealing with my employer. It was clear that she spoke from many years of experience. The conversation was professional but relaxed enough that I felt her empathy for my situation, helping me to know that what I've been going through is real and not an overreaction on my part -- that alone is worth so much. The goal of this meeting for me was to get information and advice on the reality of things. If you're looking for the real story from someone who knows the ropes, Ms. Wheeler will speak plainly and with compassion. I also appreciate how up front Ms. Wheeler and her office has been with pricing and what I can expect to get for my money. I highly recommend Ms. Wheeler.

Kalandra Wheeler: Attorney Who Makes You Stop Ugly-Crying

Look, if you're reading reviews to find a lawyer because life just threw you a workplace curveball - STOP RIGHT HERE. Kalandra Wheeler is the real deal! First off, can we talk about how she manages to make employment law drama actually bearable? There I was, stressed out of my mind, and somehow s...he had me laughing during our consultation. Not the awkward "please stop talking" kind of laugh, but genuine "okay, I can breathe now" moments. What really sets Kalandra apart is her straight-shooting approach. No legal mumbo-jumbo or dancing around issues - she tells it like it is, good or bad. When she explains things, it's like someone finally turned the lights on in a dark room. Everything just clicks. The best part? She genuinely cares. You're not just another case number to her. She puts you at ease while still being completely professional. I walked in with a hot mess of workplace drama, and she helped me navigate it with both expertise and humanity. Trust is huge when you're dealing with employment issues, and Kalandra earns it from day one. She's responsive, clear about expectations, and most importantly, honest about everything - even when it's not what you might want to hear. If you need an employment attorney who will fight for you while keeping you sane through the process, Kalandra Wheeler is your person. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!
