Excellent Business Attorney

Jeff Wheelock has been our corporate counsel for over ten years and we have been very well served. From a business person's perspective, I find Jeff's approach to contracting and risk management very refreshing. His first perspective is, "How can we make the deal work?" rather than nit picking on l...awyerly language and terms. He knows what's important to our business and does a great job helping us make risk-based business decisions related to our client and partner agreements. In addition, Jeff is extremely easy to work with. He is friendly, self effacing, and builds rapport easily with our people and with our client/partner representatives. Jeff has a unique ability to speak colloquially when appropriate and use legalese when needed. Overall, I highly recommend Jeff Wheelock as an attorney for any company interested in someone who is smart, easy to work with, and understands that attorneys exist to help the business, not the other way around.

Honest and fair lawyer

Jeff Wheelock was remarkable helpful in previous contractual work and negotiations for me. He was able to translate the legal-ese of other attorneys in a clear and concise way. I felt he protected my interests and really listened and addressed the concerns I had. His rates seemed more than fair co...mpensation for his time and work.
