Reviews
Jim is responsive, aggressive but methodically in advocating for you. In fact, during a difficult divorce and custody battle, I enjoyed the banter when Jim was advocating for you with the opposing party. I had been through 2 prior lawyers and I can say Jim is the man.
Mr. Wees is an excellent attorney. I decided to hire his firm for my divorce and child custody battle. I consulted with many other attorneys previous him and they weren’t positive about the outcome. I was devastated going through so much stress and not been able to find someone that could fight for my rights, but Mr. Wees did. Since the moment we had a consultation, he was positive of an outcome on my side. He is knowledgeable, responsive to emails, very professional, and the best, I won the case getting custody of my kids. I am very satisfied with the final decree because he helped me a lot. I know how difficult is going through a divorce and having to deal with a difficult attorney can be even worse. Not in this case. On the other hand, Kelly is difficult, she was rude to me. Also, she didn’t respond to my emails. Sometimes she did but after a week or so. I felt very uncomfortable with some comments that she made. I Wish they have a more friendly person helping. Other than her, I am satisfied with the firm. 5+stars for Mr. Wees.
Mr. Wees, Kelly and his staff are amazing professionals. My case was difficult and they were on top of it, prepared, great communication and aggressive when necessary. They educate you upfront, give realistic expectations and go over estimated cost, no surprises. If you are looking for a professional attorney that’s going to be upfront, aggressive and get it done Jim is your guy! Jim is hands down the very best attorney! I appreciate all Jim and Kelly did for my case.
There is not enough space allotted in this review to allow me to express how well Mr. Jim Wees and his staff represented my interests over the 7.5 years that he served as my divorce attorney. Before hiring Wees Law Firm, I used a different law firm through Pre-Paid Legal Services to obtain the initial divorce decree obligating me to pay $8,300/month = $99,600/year in spousal maintenance. While the attorney for Pre-Paid Legal Services was driving me back to his office after the judge pronounced the divorce decree, I expressed my surprise and disdain at the incredible financial obligation that I would bear for the unforeseeable future. The attorney then freely admitted that I would have received better representation had I been able to pay his full fee. My search for the best divorce attorney, who was certified in family law, led me to James F. Wees of Wees Law Firm in central Phoenix. During my initial consultation with Jim, he impressed me with how well he listened to my concerns with few interruptions to clarify my goals and to confirm his understanding of the facts. The $8,300/month quickly became a financial hardship when my former spouse got me fired from my job 2 weeks after the divorce decree. Jim immediately filed a motion to modify or terminate spousal maintenance, which he continued to do every 12 months, as permitted by law. While my former spouse evaded being served notice to appear for depositions, for evidentiary hearings, and to appear in court, Jim calmly persisted until we were successful. Jim's well-presented arguments led to a reduction in my monthly spousal maintenance payment to $3,233. When I married my current wife 7 years after my divorce, Jim celebrated by attending our wedding reception. Our final celebration was 8 years after my initial divorce decree when Jim invited me to his office and announced that the judge had terminated my obligation to pay spousal maintenance. Unable to contain my joy, I hugged Jim and his staff, as they had become "family" through the darkest time of my life. They truly were the "light-bearers" who guided my every step. I give Jim Wees and Wees Law Firm my highest recommendation, without reservation.
Mr. Wees was extremely professional, sensitive while helping me with my case. He clarified all the steps and processes, answered all my questions and walked me through my filling, he explained what to expect and all the possible outcomes. I have a great deal of trust in Mr. Wees professional competency, I highly recommend him for consultations and representation.
With his many years of experience, he understands law and AZ court practices thoroughly. I felt he was very reasonable with fees and was always available with quick answers. I highly recommend him for your family court needs.
Once hired he was very efficient and did not waste any time or monies with my divorce case. His legal team even went out of her way to meet me on my side of town to sign the final documents. Mr. Wees showed compassion towards me while going through a difficult time in my life.
James has been my attorney for over 10 years now. I have used him for my divorce, child support, and custody hearings over the years. I am a needy customer and he and his assistants have always meet all my needs. They took all my calls and emails whenever I needed them they were there. All my hearings have sided with my request due to James being fully prepared for everything! I love everyone at his firm. I highly recommend!
I contacted Jim Wees on several occasions concerning problems i had with a life estate and the family. He spent a lot of time researching the problem; consulting with the attorney on the opposing side and working with both sides for an outcome. I contacted Jim with many questions during the years since my husband died. He always responded right away and referred me to someone else if he could not help. I feel I can contact him anytime with a problem. That is a special person in this time
I found James to be very professional and helpful. He always was very responsive to my questions.
