An advocate for you

I was greatly relieved when Josh started handling my divorce case. My experience was messy with an ex-spouse with a great deal of money at her disposal, so I really needed someone to be my advocate and not be dispassionate where my situation was concerned. I had two attorneys before finding Josh. O...ne thing that I valued was being able to have intelligent layperson conversations about the chances of motions succeeding or failing and the implications for later in the case without unnecessary legal lingo. The uncertainty of the whole process was greatly eased by Josh's attention to detail, personable nature, and humor. Unfortunately my divorce experience lasted a number of years. In my particular situation I had two children, one with special needs, so things were particularly complicated. My ex-spouse was not cooperative, not willing to compromise on any position, and very litigious, causing me a great deal of stress over the years. Every month it was something new and unexpected. Since there was so much going on for so long, I really appreciated Josh's recognition that I was on a limited budget, and his striving to keep expenses reasonable, e.g. no unnecessary contact or added hours except to deal with the issues. This was huge for me. In summary I highly recommend Josh as your family law attorney. Although I hope I never have to engage his services again, I can say that all my interactions with him were professional and actually enjoyable given the circumstances.

Maximum results, minimum fuss.

I wholeheartedly give Josh my highest possible recommendation. I chose him for his reputation of being able deal with complicated divorces like mine — he did not disappoint. Josh understood the particulars of my divorce. He remembered everything, spotted details, and was an effective advocate. Ev...en when advocating from a significant disadvantage (because I didn’t hire Josh until the third year of my divorce) his results at court were devastatingly effective. Josh was unfailingly polite. He didn’t trade insults or get ruffled. He was professional, gave clear guidance, and seemed highly respected at court. Beyond my expectations, Josh re-established rapport with the opposing party and negotiated a win-win solution both sides agreed to. By allowing us to settle out of court Josh saved my entire family time, money, and hurt feelings. Josh is an ideal attorney for anyone who wants to divide a complicated estate with a minimum of fuss.

Confident and Sharp

I had the privilege of working with Josh a while back and he was calm, confident and kind. He held his composure when things got a little rough and it helped me relax knowing his expertise was headed in the right direction. It's been a few years since my divorce but I remembered Josh telling me every...thing was going to be fine. He was right and I graciously thank him for his words of wisdom. Not just a lawyer but a man of integrity! Thanks Josh!

Expert divorce attorney

Josh skillfully guided me through a messy and long divorce. He was thorough in his approach, an excellent communicator and achieved a favorable outcome for me and my child. At every step of the process he provided me a clear explanation and created an effective strategy to finalize the prolonged pro...ceedings. He is professional in his communication and billing practices. He made a difficult and stressful process manageable and did an exemplary job protecting my interests. I recommend him highly.

Honest, competent and effective attorney.

A contentious divorce situation is a terrible circumstance, most would agree. Particularly when children are involved it becomes more stressful and emotional. It can be challenging to think clearly, make the correct decisions and navigate the complex legal systems. Mr. Wheeler came highly recommend...ed so I consulted with him during my divorce and decided to retain him as my attorney during and after my divorce. being given an opportunity to write a public review feels like an honor because I have tremendous amount of respect for him and his abilities. Here is an attorney that has a lot of empathy, competence, honesty and practices with absolute fairness. He does not hesitate to tell you when you are wrong, and he fights hard and effectively for a fair outcome for everyone involved in a family matter. He has a lot of patience to make sure he understands the entire situation and circumstances and is extremely effective in the courtroom. He does not create unnecessary work for billing purposes like many other lawyers do as I have heard time and again. Every time I communicated with Mr. Wheeler to discuss my case, it appeared as if he remembered every single detail and the history of my case like mine was the only case. It is amazing how well organized he is with case history and documents. I can summarize my experience working with Mr. Wheeler simply as a "god send." I strongly recommend Joshua Wheeler for anyone that is searching for a family law attorney. You will find yourself in very caring and expert hands.
