Ian is a very professional lawyer who goes out of his way to explain what possible options are available and what he needs from his client. I spoke with many lawyers before settling on Ian and I am glad I found him. He works harder than anyone I have ever met to achieve your goals as efficiently as possible. He helped me settle a custody dispute resulting in exactly the terms I was looking for. I would highly recommend him for his knowledge of the legal process and the staggering amount of work that he gets done in such a short amount of time. I expected a long, expensive battle and Ian delivered in all ways for a fraction of the cost I had anticipated.

Ian Wheeles is a true professional. He helped me with my divorce case back in 2012 and ultimately helped me secure primary custody of my children shortly after (which, for a father, was an uphill battle). He was always very prompt and timely with his replies and even called me on the weekend to discuss my case. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer, look no further.

Ian has helped me with custody/child support issues this past year. Each time, Ian has been very prompt to reply, and always explains my options and the entire process with patience and professionalism. He goes above and beyond to help clients feel supported and well represented through new and unfamiliar proceedings. I truly appreciate everything Ian has done for my family.

It's been my experience I can trust Ian to keep me informed. Ian is not adverse to suggesting another attorney when an issue comes up that he considers outside of his area of interest or expertise. His commitment to looking after his clients best interest is a priority to him. Ian's responsive and trustworthy. I have no reservations about Ian's ethics and skills.

Ian is very friendly and knowledgable. He kept me informed at all times regarding my divorce and custody proceedings. He answered any and all questions thoroughly keeping the case on track for a resolution. Through this difficult divorce/ child custody case he always stayed honest, compassionate, and realistic. I felt very comfortable with him and his office staff. I would certainly recommend him to anyone that is looking or needing a attorney.

Mr. Ian Wheeles is best described as honest, straight forward and easy to work with. I've hired Ian on several occasions for both contract talent negotiations, business taxes & personal representation and each occasion and transaction have left more knowledgeable and more than satisfied with the outcome or results of the pending litigation. Ian actually takes the time to LISTEN and then offers the best counsel to solve the situation or remedy the circumstances. Ironically, I use his name often when referring to an "HONEST" lawyer, he truly is just that and not in the game for the money, clearly IAN cares about people and helping people get passed sometimes very personal and difficult life changing issues with poise, grace & dignity. Watch this man's career, it would not surprise me in the least if he becomes the Governor of the Great State Of Alaska, someday! I'd vote for him and recommend anyone need legal advice to contact Mr. Wheeles with any type of business or personal matters, if he doesn't have the expertise, he will point you in the right direction. Best Lawyer in Alaska.

My husband and I retained Ian Wheeles and his associate, Guy, to help us throughout a recent child custody case. Our case lasted a couple of years and, throughout the entire thing, not only was Guy responsive and informative, but Ian and the rest of Wheeles Law staff were as well. Although my husband and I felt very strongly that we had an open-and-shut case, Ian was able to show us what our legal options were. With Ian and his associate's comprehensive legal knowledge and their willingness to help us fully understand the legal aspects of our case, we were able to better navigate the situation. Our case is now closed, but Ian and his staff continue to provide assistance, advice, and support to my husband and I. During the actual hearings associated with our specific case, Ian remained professional and compassionate, even when questioning the opposing side. Ian did not resort to sarcasm, name-calling, and other emotionally-charged arguing tools as he thoroughly exposed the flaws in our opposing party's logic. Ian kept the case based solely on the details that were pertinent to the case and for that, my husband and I are both very grateful. Without hesitation, we would encourage anyone seeking legal advice and/or counsel to reach out to The Law Office of Ian Wheeles. Our family will forever be thankful for all of their dedication and hard work throughout our case.

Ian represented me in several different hearings. I have worked with a variety of attorneys both personally and professionally. Ian is hands down the most responsive attorney that I have worked with. He is quick, responsive, and very knowledgeable. The judge in my case highly respected him and the motions that he filed on my behalf were well-received. Ian also seems to work very well with opposing counsel to come up with positive solutions. I would hand down recommend Ian to all of my friends and family.

Ian Wheeles was assigned to me by the firm he previously worked for after a domestic violence erupted issue. In such sensitive matters involving a family Ian was caring, thoughtful, and most capable. Our case had many court ordered events such a counseling, restraining orders, 3rd party visitation, custody schedules, separation, and divorce settlement. its was ugly to begin with and Ian was the rock which held both sides together. When we discussed options he would try to present both sides views so I may know what to expect, play out the scenarios in a calm precise manner. I always felt like the plan was solid, well prepared, with contingencies in place to react appropriately. He is always available by phone or text, has attention to detail, and remembered the facts of the case even months between domestic events. With his guidance our family has lived peacefully for 8 years. My child is now 18 and is grateful for the plan he crafted to make sure the parents were kept on task so my child would be not be put in a difficult situation. Last year we had a different need for simple estate matters for my husband mother. As dime tai and Alzheimers set in we found ourselves needing legal advice and more an honest person to guide us through what we needed to do with will, sibling, income properties in and out of state. Ian was up front about not specializing in certIain areas of this practice so would work with another lawyer if we needed him to. We were able to successfully navigate an LLC with the sibling to provide her most basic needs as she left her home for assisted living, progressing to the end of life. His compassionate guidance was so welcome. As we settle properties and learn more about the legal system Ian is a mentor, and is willing to do the daily work or inform you of the necessary steps so you can save money and execute simple parts of them yourself. I think that is his strength. Knowing his clients needs, exceeding them, staying informed and prepared, with compassion for all parties involved.

Ian has been our attorney for over 4 years. He traveled to Fairbanks with us to fight for custody of my husband son. Now that we are in another battle with the same son he is now here in Anchorage fighting with us for our son. Ian's prices are reasonable and flexible. He is working day and night for us. He is always available via cell phone or at the office. Will take our calls anytime day or night. My husband and I are very happy that we have Ian in our corner.
