Our experience with Tessa at Yates & Wheland was excellent! She and her fellow attorneys were professional yet informal and approachable, and met our every expectations and needs. We were worried that our problem was not a "big money" issue and that we would not be a priority, but that was simply NOT the case! The problem was handled quickly and efficiently to our total satisfaction! Thank you, Tessa!Report
I cannot recommend Charlie Wheland enough! He recently took over my historically high conflict divorce and custody relocation case from another firm and completely turned things around. With the previous firm, I spent a year going in and out of court with little progress and high litigation expenses. But with Charlie, he communicated clearly, quickly and effectively, and even negotiated with the other counsel outside of court in a matter of weeks. He was able to get things settled quickly and efficiently, and I am so grateful for his hard work. If you're looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and get results, look no further than Charlie at Yates & Wheland.Report

I was incredibly impressed with the professionalism and advocacy provided by Attorney Tessa Creighton. With her experience and knowledge about legal processes, I felt all the information I needed to know was effectively communicated to me. This brought great peace of mind. She answered all of my questions quickly, and did so within a comprehensible framework. Everyone at the offices of Yates & Wheland with whom I spoke was helpful and personable. They regularly provided updates and were considerate, checking in and following up. I highly recommend Attorney Creighton and the offices of Yates & Wheland.Report
Horrible attorney. Show no compassion and my consultation which I paid for an hour was cut in half. Would not recommend attorney Wheland.Report

Yates And Weland represented me in a rather difficult, lengthy divorce. When it was over, I actually came out much better than I had anticipated. The staff was very attentive, and helpful. If I’m ever needing legal counsel in the future, I will be calling Charlie Wheland. Thanks Charlie!Report
