professional, thorough, & knowledgeable

Ms. Wheeler was an excellent attorney who represented me in a gender/pregnancy discrimination workplace claim. She communicated with me clearly and straightforwardly from the beginning, she helped me to understand the process I was going through, and she was very thorough in making sure I was best re...presented. She was always professional, but tough in representing me. I was very happy with the work she did for me from start to finish and would highly recommend her.

Amazing Attorney

Ms. Kalandra Wheeler is an amazing attorney! Pursuing legal action can be a scary endeavor. Kalandra walked me through the entire process and set clear expectations. She was empathetic, compassionate, and always professional. She kept me in the loop, and I never had to worry. I knew my case was in ex...cellent hands. I couldn’t be happier!

Professional, Thorough, and Kind

Ms. Wheeler is an attorney whom was recommended to me by three other attorneys. She is a Rising Star under Texas Super Lawyers and I was thoroughly impressed with her and her firm. They were kind, prompt, and readily available. Her attention to detail was impressive and it was clear that she works ha...rd for every client. I was impressed by the level of detail in her letters and notes regarding my case. She was an excellent communicator with all parties in my case. She made the process easy-to-understand. She reached out to my workplace's legal team in a way that actually made them more collaborative. What I'm struck most by is her professional and kind demeanor: she's a straight shooter and doesn't mince words but also makes one feel validated when they're in crisis. My case took longer than expected, six months almost, but I got the result I needed because of Ms. Wheeler's skill, professionalism, and diligence.

Professional and thorough

Kalandra did an excellent job! My case was very technical in nature against a very large company. Mr. Willey (law firm) accepted the case without hesitation and assigned the right lawyer. Ms. Kalandra Wheeler explained the case step-by-step, and alleviated my many concerns. I highly recommend cal...ling the Rob Willey Law Firm first (avoid the others), and hope Mr. Willey assigns Ms. Kalandra Wheeler to your case.

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.
