It’s never good when you need a lawyer

…but I can’t tell you how much better my life is now after Josh helped me out with my situation. Custody situations can be incredibly scary, especially if you are unaware of how things work. Josh navigated through my troubled waters with skill, competence, and extensive knowledge on how to better m...y situation. Not only was he there for me for all the Lawyer work that was necessary, but he also taught me how to proceed through this new relationship with my sons mom and ultimately improving the situation for everyone involved, not only me.

Excellent Family Law Attorney for Complex Cases

I have worked with a number of family law attorneys in the Seattle Area over the past few years on a variety of matters, with mixed results. I contacted Josh Wheeler based on his reviews on Avvo, and he did not disappoint! He helped me with a child support modification, and also advised me on some ...other family law matters, one of which was very emotional and "sticky". Josh has a calm, friendly and non-judgmental demeanor that is very reassuring. Additionally, and most importantly, he clearly understands and can explain the letter of the law. He counseled reason and good sense on my part in moving forward. He clearly outlined my options and the pros and cons of each path, as well as what he advised to be the most prudent way forward. As most of us know, family conflicts can be very emotional and it can be hard to make a good decision based upon emotion. This is where Josh's counsel and well thought out advice was invaluable to me. Thanks to him, the immediate situation was resolved in the best way possible, and my family and I were able to move on, with peace of mind. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, and would certainly recommend him to others.

An incredibly empathic, honest and objective attorney

Josh was the ideal attorney to get me (and my children) through one of the the most difficult periods of my life. He always had his eye out for what mattered most to me, and was extremely honest with his situational assessments. Rather than get sucked into the opposing party's attempts to escalate th...e conflict, he helped keep things calm and focused on my goals.

Moral compass

I have been around for about 50 years now and as we all know, every once in a while you may need a lawyer. Generally, contacting a lawyer means something is not going good, and is not a fun journey... I was recommended by a very close Lawyer friend of over 20 years to Josh. Due to Covid we had many... calls via phone. Its funny, if you cant see the person you are speaking with, we generally assign a perception of what they may look like, or at least I do.. I reached out to Josh to help with marriage issues in 2020 (shocker). We had many conversations and I was very impressed with the discovery work that Josh did during our calls. What I mean is; many lawyers take a case by taking sides with their clients, while this makes the client feel good, it does not always uncover all of the facts. Josh took the time to discover the person I am and the person my wife is. We discussed the situation we were in and talked about not only the history of events that led me to call him, but also discussions of moral concern. I really appreciated his ability to get a clear understanding of our situation. We have a young child and being a child of a divorce myself, it can really be hard on a child in the middle of a marriage dispute. Every situation is different as is every person. I really enjoyed working with Joshua, his insight into our problem and ability to adapt and give me many options really helped during this hard time. Trust me... my situation was an odd one. Our story has a happy ending and thanks to Josh we are all together. My story of Josh ends with the tag line at the top. Moral Compass: used in reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act accordingly. Joshua has a very accurate Moral Compass. OH, almost forgot, I stated before about the perception of what someone looks like when you have never seen them in person or on a video call. I still think Josh sounds like a 6ft+ older guy with a long beard who may or may not smoke tobacco out of a pipe on occasion. And maybe a bit overweight... Wow, was I wrong :)
