Charlie Wheland was exceptional from start to finish! He is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and professional, and he made a very difficult process feel organized, manageable and less daunting. He was always helpful, responsive, and very clear in his communication, which made a huge difference during such a painful and stressful time. I felt confident knowing my case was in capable hands. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Extremely pleased with the staff from Yates and Wheland. This is my second time hiring them to assist with personal matters involving my family. Very professional and thankful for their assistance with navigating some pretty tumultuous times. Charlie Wheland is extremely knowledgeable and level headed. He set the framework for what I needed and Tessa Creighton fervently continued what was started and helped solidify an even better outcome than I initially expected. Highly recommend and will return. Thank you.

Great communication and great service.

I hired Charlie Wheland to assist with my divorce proceedings and settlement finalization. This lengthy process extended over four and a half years due to my ex-spouse and opposing counsel's delays. Despite challenges with communication and follow-ups, especially concerning the production of requested discovery, Charlie adeptly navigated these obstacles. I appreciated the professionalism of Charlie and his staff, who clearly understood the legal complexities. They were always available to address my concerns, patiently answering my questions with compassion. Each visit to their office was welcoming, even without an appointment. When Charlie was unavailable, his associate, Tessa Creighton, promptly drafted necessary subpoenas to secure vital information, exceeding my expectations. In conclusion, despite the challenges we faced, I am grateful for Charlie's determination to bring my case to resolution. I highly recommend Charlie and his team should you need an attorney.

Mr. Whelan provided excellent legal services during a complicated child custody case and the final outcome of recovered total custody was much appreciated.

Got put into an unfortunate situation with my child’s mother moving into TN from out of state. Charlie was very professional and helped me with everything I needed. Even going above and beyond helping me out being from out of state with me having little to no knowledge of the TN court system. I will always recommend Y&W for family law needs in Chattanooga, TN!

Tessa was great. I would definitely recommend her!

Honestly I don’t know what I would have done without these guys. The truly care about their clients! Tysm!

I had a great experience working with Charles Wheland. From our first meeting, it was clear that he is an experienced, professional, and top-tier family law attorney. I especially appreciated his practical approach and his focus on protecting my best interests while minimizing unnecessary litigation.

I was very disappointed in this firm. I reached out to them and submitted my online form to which I was informed that it was received, and that someone would be reaching out to me that never happened. I waited and waited and waited to no avail. I then called and spoke with somebody. They took my information again and said someone would reach out that never happened. I called a second time and was told the very same thing again and you guessed it I have yet to be contacted. It has been several weeks so moving on.

Charlie was great at making sure that I knew exactly what to expect and never beat around the bush; very straight forward with what was to come and the process. Always responded quickly to my emails as well. Recommend him highly.

Charlie is an outstanding family lawyer. He is knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly dedicated. He guided me through a very difficult custody matter with clarity and compassion, always keeping my child’s best interests at the center. He was responsive, realistic about outcomes, and a powerful advocate in court. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Charlie to anyone navigating family law issues.

Charlie Wheland, and his associates at Yates and Wheland, were wonderful to work with throughout a difficult situation. He answered all questions with clarity and patience, kept me informed every step of the way, and provided invaluable honest advice and representation. Thank you, Charlie!

I value ratings (though I do take them with a grain of salt) which is what initially lead me to choose Charlie Wheland along with having a “good feeling” about him. With that, I was not disappointed with my choice and would choose him again. He is very knowledgeable, communicative, and very responsive. He made some great judgment calls during my case and would highly recommend others to consider him as well as doing their own research (as I have done). He does not disappoint.

I recently used Yates & Wheland for my expungement case. This law firm went above and beyond all expectations. My family and I are so grateful for the positive results that we ended up with. They are truly the best! I can't recommend them enough! Please give them a call if you need help with having your record sealed. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again - William Raab

Tessa helped me get through a contentious divorce involving kids, complex finances, and a relocation dispute without completely losing my mind. She acknowledged the emotional strain of the situation but consistently and compassionately brought things back to actions we could take to move things forward. She was efficient with her time and direct about her advice. She also pointed out where I was working against myself and helped me become my own advocate.
