Outstanding Service

I had the pleasure of working with Wyckoff to handle a loved one’s complex divorce case. Wyckoff is an outstanding attorney. My loved one was diagnosed with dementia which added a layer of complexity to his legal case. Wyckoff worked hard, did an excellent job explaining the process and advised us ...every step of the way. Wyckoff was also truly kind, patient, and empathetic. Wyckoff put together an effective asset division including some advance for my brother to pay for his memory care, legal fees, accountants. We are deeply grateful.

Effective counsel

I felt secured working with Attorney Wyckoff. He had been helping me with my divorce case that lasted for almost 4 years with several Trials and post-Trial proceedings involved. He does a fantastic job drafting motions and other filings. They are very precise and systematic and he knows well what Jud...ges look for. He is very ethical and systematic in his work. He was always available for questions or concerns. He is punctual and works in a timely manner. Working with him was very smooth and easy going. He was able to draft my emotions very simply and effectively in affidavits. Apart from being a good attorney, he is also empathetic and a kind person. He offered to work with me at a reasonable rate when I was out of finances. Thank you Attorney Wyckoff for all your kind support.

the best

Wyckoff representated me during my recent divorce. I couldn’t be happier with his service. He always kept me up to date with what was going on with my case. He made the process as smooth as possible with his advice and his honesty. When it comes to a stressful event like divorce you need a competent ...attorney by your side. I recommend Wyckoff to anyone having to go through a divorce.

Divorce Lawyer

Wyckoff If you’re searching for a great divorce attorney then look no further. I cannot recommend Wyckoff and his team enough. Collectively they made my divorce experience as easy as possible and I am forever grateful for that. I never once felt left in the dark or wondering what was going on w...ith my case. The constant updates and communication really helped keep my mind at ease. In the end I received the best possible judgement for my case and couldn’t be happier.

very supportive

Wyckoff represented me in my divorce. I was in a bad relationship and wanted to keep distance from my partner who kept requesting in-person meetings (which stressed me out). Wychoff went as far as suggesting we: 1. Meet in his office 2. I arrive first and go to room A 3. They arrive and go to ro...om B 4. He will run back and forth between rooms so I never have to see them 5. I'll leave after they leave Amazingly, they dropped the in-person meetings and we were able to finalize the divorce paperwork over email. He was also great support on the court date when the divorce was finalized. I have other stories of how he helped me throughout my divorce, there's honestly not enough room to write them all here. I couldn't recommend a more supportive and knowledgeable attorney.
