Joe Wiseman is the most disappointing attorney I have ever encountered. He handled a domestic case for me and used various tactics to increase billable hours. I found his approach highly unethical and felt deceived.

Due to my own divorce and family challenges, I have needed to navigate the family court system for the past 12 years. Initially, I worked with multiple lawyers in both collaborative and non-collaborative divorce settings in some of the largest offices in town who were professional and responsive but simply weren’t up to the challenge, leading to painful and very costly setbacks. I needed better legal support quickly and a friend referred me to Joe after he had transformed a challenging situation for her family. Working with Joe allowed me to finally breathe easier as I faced court, knowing I had an expert on my side who cared and worked hard for the best possible outcomes. In the following years, numerous friends and acquaintances also went though divorces and their experiences were the same: Joe told them the truth, worked tirelessly, got the best outcomes possible, and protected them and their children, helping them feel safe throughout the process. After all of this, I can say unequivocally that Joe Wiseman is the best family law attorney in town. As a father himself and a guardian ad litem, he naturally puts the needs of children first. And as a brilliant strategist who understands the ins and outs of family law and our legal environment, he knows how to support, strategize, and achieve the best possible outcomes. Other attorneys may talk a good game, but Joe will tell you the truth straight up and you can trust that his instincts and strategy are on target every time. No matter how many challenges come my way due to my own situation, I know Joe has my back, and will work tirelessly to protect my child and our wellbeing. I trust him implicitly. Going through divorce and family court is hard. I would wish every family going through this to find their way to Joe first to save themselves from the cost- both financially and personally- of working with anyone else. We are so fortunate to have Joe and his team here in Albuquerque. His care, skill, strategy, and knowledge have transformed our situation and that of everyone I know who has worked with him. My life and my child’s life are better now, thanks to Joe.

Amazing Law Firm! Vickie has been great to us from day one. We're new to the state and needed to update our Estate Planning documents...I called many firms, few replied. Wilcox, Myers and Jones is the only one that got back to us with solutions. Highly recommend.

My husband and I have been clients of Wilcox & Myers for many years. We have placed our trust in Vickie and Jeff and their employees because they are professional, courteous, and have a reputation for being exceptionally qualified estate planning attorneys. We know that our estate is protected now and in to the future because of their diligence. I find their staff to be very knowledgeable, courteous, and they communicate thoroughly to clients what is needed from them throughout the planning process. Wilcox & Myers has earned their extraordinary reputation in the community.

Horrible service, poor communication and a very rude receptionist. I made an appointment months ago, due to their long wait time, and was never asked if we were married. Today, a day before the appointment, I volunteered that information and was told their office policy is that they will not see a couple jointly unless they are married. We have been together 30 years, how ridiculous. Also if this is such a stong policy, Vanessa should ask this question of all couples when appointments are initially made, especially considering their wait time of months. Now, we have to find someone else and all this time was wasted. Vanessa was also rude, unapologetic and defensive, putting the blame on me instead of her failure to collect critical information like this up front since it is their "office policy." Lastly when I asked to have Ms. Wilcox call me back, Vanessa said, in so many words that Vickie was too busy. Horrible experience with this company.

I used M. Torres several years ago in a child custody case. He was the most incompetent and lazy attorney I have ever met, and since him I have worked with some excellent ones.He did nothing but spend my money on completely useless maneuvers that he never followed through in court.His one time arguments to the Judge was pathetic and usless and he came off as foolish and the Judge told him so. He lost my case due to his negligence in producing any viable material to the court dispite his constant promises and billings.His behavior bordered on inappropriately flirtatious with me, as he thinks he charming with female clients.

During my initial consultation with Clay, I appreciated his honesty and big-picture advice regarding my case. Fawna is an amazing paralegal and I’ve found she is very thorough in her knowledge of the process; her guidance in setting reasonable expectations has been a relief itself. They are a busy office, but both Clay and Fawna always have time to answer a question or give advice. I have appreciated the straight-forwardness of what to expect during the process. Comparatively speaking, this team knocks it out of the park!

I feel like I’m never being heard when it comes to anything dealing with my case right now. They never get back to me when I call them about anything. I’m always having to reach out constantly about my case. Mike never knows anything that’s going on with it. He’s just plain out rude. I noticed the only time they try and do or correct anything is when they’re given a bad review. So maybe they’ll actually do something now. I wouldn’t give any stars if I was allowed that option.

While this attorney may be adequate for straightforward and uncomplicated cases, which could be managed independently (as a Pro Se and for free), his effectiveness notably declined as my case got more complex and challenging. For cases requiring negotiation and detailed attention, seeking alternative representation is advisable. Mr. Grandjean's performance falls short when the case involves any difficulties or ongoing issues. Additionally, he will become rude, defensive and dismissive if you question what is going on or simply his tactics, he then seemed to hold a grudge and stopped fighting all together, not that he “fought” at all to begin with. His connections within the local legal community also raise concerns about impartiality and commitment. In any hearing we had, he pussed down to any attorney or judge. When thinking of an attorney, you generally want someone who doesn’t care about those things and will fight for you since that is what you are paying them to do. Mr. Grandjean seemed to not feel that way in our communications. Rather my communication and his hissy fit. Furthermore, the support staff, specifically the paralegal and receptionist, had no idea that I was a client or what my case entailed, this was over 3 months after I had paid my retainer in full and there had been no action in my case. He had 2 different assistants that seemed to know a little bit of what was going on but it seems that they couldn’t stand him either and left. I have stuck around for over 3 years now and there has still been very little action in my case and any time I called in the last year (2024) they still had no idea as to who I was or what was going on. For a more dedicated and responsive attorney, I recommend considering someone like Cheryl Saavedra, who demonstrates a strong commitment to client advocacy and effective representation. This man failed and disrespected me and my son and I am writing this so it won’t happen to you too. Mr. Grandjean, if you would like to comment a snarky and demeaning response, go ahead and make my day.

I strongly suggest you refuse to use Jeff Grandjean as your GAL. His is extremely bias. Jeff said there was no evidence, no witnesses to the abuse. He was given a lot of evidence and a list of witnesses over a year ago. I’m a witness. He never even tried to contact me or anyone else on the list. Everything in his report was in favor of the husband/father. It was almost like the abuser wrote the report himself. Now, Jeff will say he doesn’t know me, like he does with everyone who writes a bad review about him, but I introduced myself to him in the courtroom. I told him I was the witness he said didn’t exist. Then he practically ran out of the courthouse. I think he’s an incompetent coward.

By far the worst and most unprofessional lawyer I have unfortunately had the opportunity to know/deal with. I had a slam dunk, easy DUI case to beat. A public defender could and would have gotten the charges dropped. It was Sunday, Father's Day 2007. I had no key to enter my house. So instead of waking everyone at 2am I parked along the driveway of my own house. I talked on the phone to a lady I was seeing and decided to drink some beers since I wasn't going in the house until morning. I put the keys in the trunk and eventually fell asleep. I got arrested, how I don't know, but was assured by Edwards I would be fine

When you go through a tough time with an employer,treated completely unfairly, and then retaliated against throughout employment, then get terminated under false accusations, you feel just beaten. I decided I didn’t want to stay down and perhaps allow it to happen to others. I contacted Legal Solutions of New Mexico LLC. I went through the process so even be considered for consultation to finally be contacted for consultation with Erin Pitcher. We discussed everything and when I was told she would take my case but I had to do more in order to get letter of Right to Sue which I was told would take 3-6 months. This put a fire under my butt and I didn’t feel alone anymore. She said as soon as I get it to let her know and she will file lawsuit. I got one of the letters so called right away to be told her case load is full and might give referrals. Here’s the thing, I was never told maybe, or if she has room. She was definitive when we spoke. I’m waiting for one more letter which am told my previous employer has hired a law firm and requesting more time. Now since I started the process I’m stuck no help no referrals and against a company with hired law firm. I can’t give up and will and I have to take full responsibility for taking someone’s word that I don’t know. I’m here so that nobody goes through this cause it’s a situation I don’t think anyone should be put in. Unfortunately this has no affect on them but this is my life. I just hope this helps someone. I learned a huge lesson for sure.

This is a post he made on FB very recently. He has attempted to hide his identity as well as deleting the post. It is important for others to know how this person views others not in agreement with himself. Post below: Stupid Republican *ucks have no idea what they're doing. To anyone still voting for Trump, or anyone above the local level: *uck you. We are coming for you. There is a price to pay. We will make sure that we, nonviolently and lawfully, *uck you and the Republican party beyond all recognition. This country will be unrecognizable to you. Leave the *uck now, or shut the *uck up. We don't want to hear from you. We will purposefully destroy everything you love. I hope you all *ucking read this and feel fear. *uck you. PLEASE be aware of what type of person Mr Faust is. Thank You

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
