Appreciative Client

Kalandra is the rainbow during and after a storm. No one wants to be in a situation to hire legal representation, but thankfully it is attorneys like Kalandra Wheeler that are there to fight when the circumstances deem necessary. “Kalandra N. Wheeler, I appreciate your willingness to assist me in a d...ark time, your ability to effectively listen to my concerns and assuring knowledge of the law that my concerns would be addressed accordingly.” Thanks for the WIN!!!

Client focused

Having to consult with an attorney can be stressful. However, I found Ms. Wheeler to be exceptional in the way she asked probing questions to better understand my situation. I was immediately put at ease. She was able to very quickly understand my previous role and all applicable facts. Once she... gathered information, I appreciated her transparency as she provided me with information designed to help me make the best decision. It is clear that she is extremely knowledgeable in this space. Grateful for the sound advice, clear guidance regarding next steps and expected timeline. I would highly recommend Kalandra Wheeler.

Knowledgeable, Honest and Warm

I found Kalandra Wheeler because of the google reviews and she really delivers!! I was very still distraught over the events of injustice and having a hearing to talk about the events again made me very nervous and uneasy. I met with Ms. Wheeler for a consult and she immediately put me to ease. He...r expertise in the matter was evident. She explained the process to prepare me. Her cool demeanor, honesty, direct and concise explanations made things a lot easier to digest, yet she was also warm and caring!! I knew she would be able to represent me well, but also provided the emotional support that I needed behind the scenes. The end result was positive in my favor and I owe that to Ms. Wheeler for her work and preparation!! Highly recommend!

Knowledgable and Empathetic

We had a consultation with Ms. Wheeler and were very happy with the level of care and understanding she showed us during the course of our consultation. Ms. Wheeler was able to help us make a decision that will allow us to move forward in our case. The time that Ms. Wheeler spent with us discussing t...he specifics of our unique case is very appreciated. I would gladly recommend Ms. Wheeler to anybody who is in need of an attorney to help navigate the often murky and confusing waters of the Texas Unemployment and Appeals system.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
