Philip A. Wellner

Phil is an excellent attorney and has all the qualities you would hope to find plus he's a decent and honest person! I hired him to help me navigate through a child support issue that ended up turning into a hearing. I was incredibly pleased with his representation and professionalism throughout. He ...put me at ease and explained the process. I feel really confident with Phil's expertise and ability to help me through an incredibly challenging and stressful situation.

Mr. Wellner is an outstanding attorney. I hired him to represent me in Family Court (Custody, Support, and Divorce). He is both thorough and fair and ceaselessly fought to defend my rights throughout the financial and emotional ordeal of being in court with so much at stake. Mr. Wellner objectively e...xplained every option and nuance of the hearings and appearances (before, during, and after) helping me feel completely prepared through every step. In litigation, he is superb and I always felt confident with his representation. I could not recommend anyone more highly.

Mr. Wellner has been helping me with an ugly custody and Support battle. I don't know what I would do without him. I have found his council and advice always honest, informed, and realistic. I've seen him both as a compassionate mediator, and a strong fighter. He sometimes is hard to get a ...hold of, but when you do he is very easy to communicate with. It is obvious that he cares about justice, the law, and the human being he is representing. He seems to be very familiar with the local courts, (Columbia County) other attorneys, and judges and I can see that they respect him. I have never had the impression that he is trying to milk the hours for more money.

Phil was recommended to me by a previous employer when I needed assistance for my child custody and support case. He is very personable and does care about my family. We are still in the middle of working together but I appreciate the work he’s done so far, it has allowed me to have maximum time with... my daughter. I do believe Phil needs to improve on his consistency of communication and turn around time as there would be days I would request follow up & there would be gaps. We have had honest talks about this and he has greatly improved since as we are now hopefully working on settling outside of court, but I would continue to use him as he has been familiar with my case for the last 2 years.
