My wife and I could not be happier and are truly grateful for the services provided by Mr. Joseph Wahl and his staff Lisa and Sophie. We live in Texas and were in immediate need of legal representation for our visitation petition case in the state of Delaware. We reached out to several firms in Delaware but their responses felt somewhat less personal. Mr. Wahl, on the other hand, leaned in to what we had to say and came up with the blueprint of our case shortly after our initial consultation. By our second teleconference, he walked us through exactly what to expect and what to prepare to better present our case before the court. As with most legal cases, our petition was no walk in the park. It turned into a 15-month journey as it was punctuated by counterclaims (PFA) and, of course, the 2020 pandemic with our mediation and court hearings rescheduled to online sessions. Mr. Wahl was professional, transparent with our bills, calm, and reassuring all along. With his expertise and experience in family lawsuits, he defended our case backed by court evidence against claims and demands by our respondent. His response to our communications and requests - either by phone or email - was prompt and explained with clarity in layman's terms. Because of Mr. Wahl's dedication and good intentions, together with his exceptional team, the court finally ruled in our favor and justice prevailed. To be clear, we would have written the same exact review regardless of the outcome being favorable or not. We happened to be the luckier ones this time. My wife and I would absolutely recommend without reservations Wahl Family Law to anyone seeking professional, personal, friendly, speedy, and stellar family law services and expertise.

Mr. Wahl was methodical in guiding me through my unique divorce process. With his assistance of knowledge and objectiveness, we were able to create a settlement agreement for divorce that my spouse and I negotiated and accepted avoiding costly and time consuming litigation. I highly recommend!

I could not have consulted with a better attorney. Mr. Wahl took time to listen to an extremely complex child custody and PFA matter. Despite the direction I was seeking to go, he took time to discuss alternative solutions that may be more successful. If not for the substantial distance between his office and the courthouse where my case is filed, he would be my representation, hands down!

Very helpful and really knowledgable. He made me feel very comfortable moving forward and was courteous and understanding the entire time. He has gone above and beyond to ensure I have the best help I can find. Great work and will definitely recommend using Joseph.

I found myself in a very difficult situation. My son's mother tried to take all control of my son's life and cut me out. I came to Mr. Wahl's office feeling nearly hopeless. Joe worked hard, and was very direct with me. I followed his advice, and working together, I won everything I was after in my custody case. Mr. Wahl has helped my son have his place in my family. I couldn't recommend him more!

Mr. Wahl, recently closed my child support matter. I am a soldier that became divorced during a deployment to Afghanistan. The court ordered I pay an obscene amount based on deployment pay. When I returned I tried to rectify this with the courts as well as the child support office to no avail. Mr. Wahl not only got the case transferred to DE from GA but he was also able to easy the unnecessary stress of a support order that was based off temporary pay. He made me feel at ease and although I hope never to need him again, he will always be my first choice if I do.

I consulted with Joe recently regarding my interest in revising the current custody agreement I have for visitation with my child. Although the home state for the agreement is not in Delaware, Joe took the time to discuss my options and the approach I should take regarding my child and the court. Other attorneys wouldn't even give me the time to provide general assitance. I am grateful and pleased with his knowledable council, and would highly recommend him for any child custody case.
