Professional and Kind

Consulted with Ms. Wheeler about my TWC case. She provided insights into the hearing process and helped me gain confidence in winning the case. Ms. Wheeler was professional and kind. She's very knowledgeable about the TWC hearing process. Hire her if you ever need to fight for your rights as an emplo...yee.

Great Attorney! Knows her stuff!!

I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Kalandra Wheeler! She is very knowledgeable of the Law, but is able to explain things in a way that I understood. She always returned my call in a prompt manner and does not rush her client off the phone. She is willing to listen patiently to all o...f your questions. She is so encouraging and positive and supported me emotionally during my case with her positive words. That meant so much to me because I was so emotional during this entire process. She resolved my case in a timely manner to my delight. I can't say enough about this attorney. She is classy and intelligent and empathic and compassionate to her clients and wont hesitate to speak right up in your behalf. She has your back for sure! I can tell she has a passion for what she does and it was a delight to have her work my case! This attorney is a superstar in my book and I definitely go more than my money's worth letting her handle my case!

Amazing, professional and a winner in my case.

Hired this amazing firm, after researching extensively for a reputable and successful attorney, that can help me win against my past employer. Mrs. Wheeler contacted me and explained the obstacles and odds we were against. I understood the challenge and give nothing but credit to her for her persever...ance, advise and handling of my case. The reviews that lead and convinced me to hire this great law firm and Mrs. Wheeler did not mislead. I had to add this review and share my wonderful and successful experience with her. Highly recommended.

Great Lawyer

Kalandra provided excellent customer service and support. I received a thorough interview where I was able to provide details and comments. I was not rushed. Kalandra was kind, sympathetic, and supportive. I was kept in the loop for every update and was able to reach her every time. I appreciate her ...hard work and am very satisfied with the results. I recommend her for your needs.

Amazing Attorney

After an employment dispute with one of my previous employers, I sought legal representation to recover the damages. After some exhaustive research, I contacted Kalandra Wheeler with Wiley Wheeler, P.C. in Houston, TX. It is one of the best decisions that I could have made given the circumstances.... From the initial meeting until resolution, Kalandra was extremely professional and kind and always focused on the facts of my case and worked quickly to outline our strategy. I should also point out that before I contracted with Wiley Weeeler, P.C. I had already met with another attorney who started my case but said early on that I did not have a case worth pursuing which was extremely frustrating. Knowing that I wanted to press on, I parted ways with the first attorney and started working exclusively with Kalandra. My case had many ups and downs and at times was emotionally exhausting. Kalandra was persistent throughout and never gave up on me or my case. She has an acute sense of detail and really drills down to the relevant facts needed to prove the case. Most importantly, she provided moral support along the way which is crucial in a case like mine. I can see why Kalandra is a Rising Star under Texas Super Lawyers. I couldn't agree more! My case has finally come to a close after many months but with an outcome to be proud of. I highly recommend Kalandra Wheeler from Wiley Wheeler, P.C for any type of employment dispute. She is very hard working and diligent.
