Attorney Wolf's professionalism and competence is reflected in each matter she takes on. A wonderful person and attorney, I strongly recommend her and her firm.
Shari-Lynn Shore, Family Attorney on Aug 1, 2012
Relationship: Co-worker
I have worked with Attorney Wolf for almost 3 years, at 2 separate firms, and her work ethic, intelligence and endless dedication continue to amaze me. Attorney Wolf is very knowledgeable in all areas in which she practices, but she seems to have a specific passion for helping people which leads her to excel in family, juvenile and probate law. She continues to go above and beyond what is required and the results we have seen with our clients speak for themselves. I strongly endorse Attorney Wolf and have even requested that she handle or assist in matters for my own family and friends.
