Years after I hired the lawyer here, I talked to another lawyer and found out I was given completely wrong explanation from Bob regarding the most important thing for me in my divorce decree.
My ex had been abusing me while our marriage and I talked about it but they didn't listen to me. I told I have a police report but they didn't care. In my divorce decree, it says no family violence and "they" signed it. After divorce, my ex keeps harassing me for years. I may need to hire the lawyer again(of course not here). I regret that I chose this lawyer.

AWFUL!!!!. If there was an option for Zero stars I would choose it. So many including myself have tried to post on here, but everytime we see he has gotten it removed. He charged me $3K every month and sabotaged my case. He LIED constantly about everything saying him and his staff are working on the filings and getting hearings. He NEVER contacted the court for a hearing nor did he write and send off any necessary pleadings or motions. He just sat there the whole day on YouTube or other social media and LIED to any poor desperate person. I have PTSD bc of bob widner's misconduct neglect

I had called 3 law firms and was very discouraged. All the lawyers seem to care about was having my parents write a check for $10,000. Then I called Widner Family Law Group because their ad said no huge retainers. I met with him and Ashley and they really cared about the fact that my husband didn’t want to pay for child support and didn’t come to the teachers meetings and the kids soccer games.

Going through a divorce was not fun, but Bob eased a lot of pain and grief from my shoulders. I must say "Thanks for a job well done". He worked with Dr. Phil in the training room and we talked about a life plan for me afterwards because spent all my time raising our children. I got a job in the insurance business and without Bob advice, I probably would still be beaten up from the divorce. Sometimes hiring just an attorney is not enough. Hire someone like Bob that picks you up when you are broken and make life worth living again. I feel strong now and independent on myself. It

Best attorney I have dealt with. I have hired a spent over $30,000 on two other attorneys over the past years trying to get my ex to follow court orders. She tried to make my kids not like me. Bob stepped in the case, and after spending a total of $8,000 over one year, stopped the parental alienation. I would not have know what parental alienation was if Bob hadn't explained it to me and gotten counselors to work with me on how to stop my ex from brainwashing my kids. Bob was caring about me, about how bad it hurt me from my ex to mess with the minds of my kids, and stopped it! If

Ashley the paralegal was amazing and Bob hammered the other side. My husband is a Dr. and makes a lot more money than me, and they tried to run up my attorney fees so I would be without an attorney at trial and lose my kids. Bob charged a flat monthly fee, and his retainer was $2,500 so not only did I not run out of money before trial, but Bob was awesome at explaining to the court what I was going through. He had a parental facilitator appointed by the court which made my kids father step his game up as dad.

This group was my third attorney in my custody dispute and I wish I had found them from the beginning. Lucas was not only professional but compassionate as well. He really took the time to know my case and made sure I understood all of my options to make the best decision. He fought hard to get a reasonable agreement in mediation that would keep both parties happy. in a world of lawyers who just treat you like a checkbook, these group made me feel like a person that

This lawyer was a crook. He never returned calls, updated us on our case or anything. We did most of the case work for ourselves after being scammed for a monthly fee where he did virtually no work. Before our final trial, bob failed to perform the work required and thankfully the defense contacted me because they felt bad about our representation. We hired a new lawyer and won our case. DO NOT hire this lawyer. He tried to leverage us for fake reviews. I assume that's why this site has possitive ones. We should have contacted the bar on this guy, but we didn't want to waste anymore of

Not trustworthy. This firm hired us to serve papers for them in Fall of 2016 and we still have not received payment for services rendered. Monthly statements are sent. Nothing. They rarely ever answer the phone and when they do they claim they will look into it and get back to us. They never call back. I would never do business with this firm again and would never consider using them as my attorney. Just terrible.

Bob, I'm sure is a nice guy in his head, instead of meeting regarding my case, he spent endless hours talking about his daughter, never discussing my case, then he made promises that were never fulfilled.
He took 3K from me a single parent and blew smoke up my tail, several phone were made to follow up on why no movement was happening on my case. Then when we went to court regarding this severe parental alienation and abduction issue, The judge advises he never filed a motion, he didn't know any details on the case after he obtained all copies of my case file.
I ended up forking over my child

I recently had the displeasure of having Bob mishandle my decree modification case. While I was a client of his, he went through 3 paralegals and moved his office to a shared office space. He was very difficult to track down until he wanted his monthly "flat fee" payment. Then he would disappear again until the next time.
At court he was unprepared and frequently did the exact opposite of what he said he was going to do. All hat and no cattle: Bob talks tough but will quickly throw you under the bus and blame you instead of his incompetence.
Don't just take my word for it. Read Yelp, read Avvo

Awful. He might act very nice/caring whenever u meet him. But he's a very nasty person who just knows how to lie & take money from ppl going though bad situations. Plz read all his reviews before giving this guy a single penny. Notice the way all his good reviews are written (they're from himself). His last interest is your matter...he'll tell you what you want to hear & take your money but wont do anything. Unfortunately most people that go to bob (or any other lawyer) are in a really bad situation & they dont know the law... I was in a terrible situation both financially & emotionally. I'm not

Unfortunately, like many other reviews here, I learned a hard lesson working with Bob Widner. I wish I would have done my research before taking the advice of a counselor at the Lifeworks Group to use this attorney. Initially the "flat fee" sounded very appealing but this frequently resulted in only getting a response from him when the monthly bill was due. When he was ready to collect, he gave me all kinds of personal attention and spelled out this great strategy and then I wouldn't hear from him again until the next payment due date. The "flat fee" sounds attractive but

Widner law group is absolute garbage. They will take your money and work with opposing counsel to crucify you. Damn double agent!
I had 4 different attorney's and 5 paralegals working on my case. That sounds good, like I had a great team of law help yet the truth is all these lawyers and paralegal help left his firm. That should say enough right there. One by one they left and he ended up going to court with me.
Widner either plays super stupid in court so you lose or he really is that dumb. He was not prepared, had zero supporting information, didn't file as he said he would, and

Absolutely terrible representation, the paralegal assigned to my case would ignore my emails and phone calls, but you know the second payment was due they called me. I had to talk to my child's mother myself who I was fighting against to get things settled because my lawyer refused to fight for me. Every time the opposition sent something she would just say sign it, and they altered paperwork after I signed the final copy and hasn't returned my call or email in exactly a month today even though they messed up the documentation horribly.

I hired Mr. Robert Widner for my case and I felt so safe with him. The trust was just there as he fought for me as if I were a dear friend even though I'm not a friend. My previous lawyer was shysty and convinced me to agree to things that I didn't want to agree to (3 years ago). Mr Widner reversed all past mistakes made with the previous lawyer and got me more than I even asked for. I honestly feel forever in his debt due to his kindness, honestly and most importantly, his trust. Thank you Robert Widner!! You are awesome and I feel blessed to have found you.

The Widner Law Group has been a God-send to our family. Custody matters are never easy. His team has guided us through our issue. Along the way they have always responded promptly and with accurate information of what they believe will happen. Our case took close to a year to wrap up. During that year we had an opportunity to meet the staff and know them on a personal level and know that they will do everything they can to get the case resolved in your favor within reason. I definitely recommend Bob and his team.

Hiring this law firm was a horrible decision on my part. I thought the flat fee and payment plan sounded appealing. The down side of the "flat fee attorney" is they are getting paid the same amount no matter how long the case takes or how much work is involved SO they do what they can to cut corners and make it go as quickly as possible even if it's not in the client's best interest. I learned this the hard way. Tori Jones is the attorney that was assigned to me and she was very unprofessional. I had a hard time getting her to return my calls and reply to my emails. It&apos

"You get what you pay for," is what everyone always says, this statement could not be more true.
You call them, they're very nice and helpful. They set you up to meet Jeff, and he says that you're right, lets get this working, and it should be quick, but it all depends on the soon to be ex-spouse. Reality check, they work very slowly so you continue paying their flat-rate monthly fee. That is just the first indicator.
Second issue, you typically don't even meet the lawyer who will represent your case until 1 week before the hearing. Now they're busy trying to catch
