Andrew and Dana are the example of professionalism!! My case was finalized in 2015; but as an Active Duty member, my time at Eglin AFB had an expiration date. I PCS’ed to Virginia and attempted to work a parent to parent deal with my EX. She refused everything I offered. I hired Andrew and he smoothed things over as best he could. Even dealing with Tonya Holman’s unethical, unprofessional and the habitual liar she is; he still remained professional. My children were visiting during the COVID lockdown. There was an emergency motion filed by my ex and her BoxTop educated attorney…and the Judge granted the children be immediately returned to her; even though they were schooling from home; in the middle of a Earthwide Pandemic. Andrew remained professional and continued to fight for me and my children. Despite the laborious hearings, lies by the other party and the Judge being one sided. I’d hire Andrew again!

Andrew Goes above and beyond. I consulted Andrew and his firm a few months ago about some legal topics and he answered with clarity and confidence. I highly recommend Andrew!

Andrew was able to represent our case professionally and thoroughly. He took his time to understand our needs and was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I trust and recommend Andrew and he will be my go-to for any future family law needs.

Mr. Wheeler is top notch. He helped me through a rough custody case with my ex(never married). He assured me throughout the process that I was not asking for anything ridiculous. He was organized and thourough throughout the trial and you could tell he enjoyed what he was doing which really made a difference. Dana was also AMAZING. I cannot say enough good words about her. Extremely meticulous with all of the paperwork and never missed a thing. I believe without them I would not have gotten such a great outcome. They kept me, a very anxious single mother, calm and collected through the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. Wheeler’s firm for any family law needs.

Mr. Wheeler made my unpleasant divorce experience, tolerable. His office was quick and efficient and very responsive to any issues that arose. I would highly recommend his law firm to anyone requiring legal services.

If you need a person on your side, that will stand by you and fight, look no further. Andrew and his team included are fast to get back to you when you need them, even on Christmas eve. Andrew knows how important family is and he shows that in his work. I can not thank him enough for everything he has done for my family. I honestly think, from my personal experience, that there is nothing that Andrew wouldn't do for his clients to have a happy outcome, and I was no easy client. Do not skip taking a consultation with Andrew.

I have all ready recommended Andrew Wheeler to several people that asked about my divorce experience. Andrew was a large source of confidence and calm in a 2 year long battle. He was very confidant and encouraging. He was clear in all instruction, open to all suggestions and informative with advice. He help me on many discouraging events and was so vary available during my times of crises. Though i would have preferred a better financial out come, he had told me not to get my hopes up. The honesty and integrity he showed during this long drawn out nightmare kept the monsters under the bed, so to speak. I will be a while trying to get the cost of this wreak paid for, and the firm has been very supportive and understanding. Matthews & Jones are first on my recommendation to everyone for any and all legal needs.

I am currently going through a yucky divorce and Andrew has been AMAZING! He made me feel comfortable the very first time I met him. He is very knowledgeable, honest, understanding, down to earth but tough at the same time. Every decision I’ve made this far with him guiding me has been the right one. He’s very responsive and understanding. I can’t say enough great things about him and how good he’s been to me. He’s awesome!

Modifying a custody order in Florida can be very difficult. Especially when you live out of state in Virginia. In working with Mr. Andrew Wheeler, my husband and I had someone who was experienced and knew how to help us in our custody case. Mr. Wheeler was very responsive to our needs and outlined the direction on how to proceed with our case. We provided all the information that was beneficial to Mr. Wheeler and he was able to get us the results we wanted. Mr. Wheeler was very honest from the beginning, my husband and I knew the results we wanted but Mr. Wheeler never sold us on that dream. He was realistic throughout the case. But he was able to bring the results we wanted into reality. With his work, dedication, and experience we were able to make our arguments stronger. I communicated a lot with the law office and Mr. Wheeler. They were always responsive to either my phone calls or emails. Mr. Wheeler is very professional, passionate, friendly, and willing to listen to everything we had to say. He is extremely helpful and looks out for the best interests of his clients. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wheeler and his law firm. On a personal note: Thank you Andrew, from the bottom of our hearts for reuniting our family. Words can never express how grateful we are to you. You will always hold a special place in our family's heart.
