Jim provided mediation for me and my husband through our divorce process. He was accessible, friendly and impartial at all times. Our case involved concerns over my husband's alcohol use, and its implications for our parenting plan. Whenever it was needed, Jim connected us with other trusted professionals who could advise us, including a drug and alcohol counselor and a child psychologist. His calm and competent guidance helped us to successfully navigate our divorce process through mediation.

Brian is GREAT!! My husband and I were stressed to the max of the thought we were needing to file, so trying to find the right attorney we thought would be a challenge. But we are SOOOO glad we went to Brian! He is efficient, knowledgeable, never made us feel rushed and made the process very easy. I recommend Brian Wheeler 100%. We can start a new chapter in our lives now. Thank you for everything Brian.

Jim O'Connor has a heart of gold. This makes him a caring and empathetic family mediator. He's also attentive, organized, and very experienced in family law with many years of devotion to the field. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I cant say enough AMAZING things about Brian! He was so helpful and honest, he didnt get bothered or annoyed when I had numerous questions Id email him about daily. He made us feel confident that it was all being handled correctly. He was so genuine and made us feel better about the entire process. BRIAN IS AMAZING! Thanks for EVERYTHING Brian!

Jim has a calm level headed approach that fit well with my personality. He answered questions in a complete way, but was not offended by my saying, okay, I get that part, let's move on so as not to waste time or money. I felt that he kept my best interests as his top priority. I feel that his experience and guidance helped me through the most difficult time of my life. He doesn't have a staff or other overhead that you end up paying for. If a collaborative approach is appealing to you, Jim is a great choice. There are a very limited number of qualified collaboratively trained attorneys in the Portland area.

Jim meditated our divorce settlement. Throughout the process, he was wise, calming, and supportive in ways that allowed us to reach agreement much sooner than would have been possible using a traditional approach. At critical junctures, Jim was able to help all parties regain healthy perspective and take the long-term view. I have already recommended him to someone else, and I would recommend him again without hesitation.

Jim has helped me through a difficult period of my life and compared with other lawyers I worked with I found him direct and no nonsense. I whole heartedly recommend Jim.

Jim was very generous when we first met and I felt very comfortable. He listened to my whole story and asked pertinent questions. He took the time to explain concepts. He then gave specific suggestions.

Jim helped my ex-husband and I navigate a mediated separation settlement that became our joint divorce petition. He was compassionate, instructive, fair, and helpful throughout this process. I always felt that he was working in both our best interests...informed by the objectives he'd had us articulate, capture, and initial at the start of the process.

Brian Wheeler was so helpful every step of the way! He was understanding, knowledgeable, patient and competent. I highly recommend Brian to assist you with the difficult process of filing bankruptcy.

I would highly recommend Brian Wheeler to anyone considering bankruptcy! I was scared and not sure where to turn when I first met with Brian. He was caring, professional, and knowledgeable and he explained the process and my options to me very clearly. My case was long and complicated, but Brian was with me every step of the way. He responded to my calls and emails the same day. He was even willing to come in on Saturdays to work with me. In the end, I was able to file a Chapter 7 and eliminate all my credit card debt while keeping my house. If you are struggling with debt I know it is hard to consider paying attorney fees (attorney fees from a long divorce were what put me in my terrible financial situation in the first place!), but Brian's fees are VERY reasonable. Having gone through my bankruptcy, I would not recommend trying to do it alone. Filing bankruptcy with Brian was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It transformed my life and set me on the road to financial stability for myself and my children.

Filling for bankruptcy was not a fun thing, but Brian Wheeler made it much easier on me. He is very easy to talk to and explains things in a way that i could understand without all the legal mumbo jumbo. He took all the fear out of filing which is a very good quality for a lawyer. if you are thinking about filling my suggestion is call Brian Wheeler he will put you at ease with the whole process. Thank you Brian for all that you did for me during this process.
