I am the family law partner at Wheeler Montgomery & Boyd, PLLC. I take pride in personal service tailored to the individual needs of my clients. Every family dynamic is different and there is no "standard" divorce. I listen to my clients and make sure they make informed decisions in the emotionally charged setting of family law. 90% of my client base are referrals from clients and other attorneys - which is an honor that former clients and my peers trust me to provide representation to their loved ones.
