Family Law Client Reviews

When I reached out to Wheeler and Boyd I had started the process for mediation and I was served with a surprise hearing two weeks before Christmas and set for 12/27. I can’t express how much impact their professionalism and expertise has positively impacted my custody case. I have worked with Whitney Hawke on a regularly basis for the past 1.5 years. She is top notch and exceptional in every way. From prompt replies to knowledgeable presentation in court Whitney excels. Her legal advice has been invaluable. Everyone I have worked with at Wheeler and Boyd epitomizes professionalism, expertise, and kindness. The office staff and Krystal N, a paralegal, always went above and beyond. I cannot recommend this legal team enough.

I hired Whitney Hawke as my attorney. She was the second attorney I hired, and I wish she would have been the first. From start to finish, it was a truly positive experience. Her expertise in the court system is impressive. She attentively addressed all my concerns and consistently took the time to clarify the various potential outcomes of my case. Even when we had differing opinions, she was open to discussing my perspective, exploring alternative options, and developing different proposals that could be effective. My case was particularly challenging due to the difficult opposing party. We were just days away from trial and it seemed unlikely that we would reach a settlement, yet we managed to resolve the case. Whitney dedicated herself to my interests and advocated for my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking attorney who will support you throughout the process. Divorce is hard, it's nice to have someone in your corner to help make the process a little easier.

When I asked my spouse for a divorce, I consulted with multiple attorneys from different practices, including Chris. I chose Chris due to his calm nature, direct style, and collaborative approach. It was important to me to come out the other side of this process with a fair outcome and an amicable coparenting relationship, which felt like a tall order at the beginning of the process! Chris not only spoke to that during my consultation, but also acted with alignment to that vision during the process. For example, during the process, Chris did not make unnecessary motions or take unnecessarily aggressive action -- actions which could have aggravated the process as well as run up the legal fees. In fact, a couple of times, he turned me away from his practice to other resources (ex. mediation with a mediator) when he felt it would best serve the outcomes of my case (rather than his pocketbook!). When working with Chris and his office, I felt my concerns were heard and taken seriously, he acted ethically and provided solid advice along the way. In the end, we were able to settle our divorce out of court and I have no doubt his actions on this case not only helped me achieve the best possible outcome, but saved me tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. I would (and have!) recommend Chris to any friends going through a divorce process.

I was recommended Whitney by a family member for my child custody case. This was my first time being involved in something like this, and after spending the better part of a year going through it, I'm so thankful I hired Whitney as my attorney. My case was "high conflict" to say the least. Whitney was able to spot their tactics, calm the situation and deliver quick and solid responses. Her and her entire team communicated with me well, were always pleasant to talk to, and helped me understand each process every step of the way. For my specific case, it felt like we were dealing with new accusations every other week. From my experience, Whitney and the team stayed collected under pressure and did amazing work. If I ever am in a similar situation again, I will be going back to her. My case ended the best way it possibly could have, and I owe it all to her and the entire team. I highly recommend Whitney Hawke as a family law attorney. She's experienced, knowledgeable, and if you want a lawyer who knows how to drop the mic on the opposing side, she's your gal!

I never expected to go through a divorce, and it was the most stressful period of my life, but Chris walked me through it and was on top of the process. Although I had a close relationship with our kids, my ex wanted very restrictive parenting time for me. Chris reasoned me through the strategy and steps that resulted in getting a bilateral custody evaluation, which helped increase my parenting time before trial, along with the testimony of the evaluator at trial, ultimately gave me the equal schedule I wanted, that I believe was best for my kids. During the divorce process which took over 2 years, Chris and his team kept on top of court deadlines and gave me advice on what paths tend to work better than others, but giving me realistic expectations. The divorce was incredibly stressful, but I'm glad I didn't have to worry about learning the system and knowing what needed to be filed when. Chris and his team let me know what was needed at every step. Chris was calm and collected at all times, intelligent and able to read the room. He gave valuable advice when I reached out at times regarding handling conflict.
