He was very professional, he made sure he had all the information and did everything to look into every option he had/needed to take. Was Very good with communication. He went above what was expected.
The best way I can describe my experience with David Wenger and his assistant is like making two new friends who deeply know the law and are probably retired special forces. In the midst of my messy court situations, David was the only lawyer (of 4 that I was trying to work with) who spoke law lingo in a language that I could understand, and acted much like a friend -- reacting with his own opinion about whether or not I'm focusing on the right thing, or if my crazy Ex is being a d*ck. If I had a quick 10 second question, David and his assistant Erica gave me helpful answers and advice without the sneaky charges that other lawyers tack on (like charging $25 per email without telling you... yikes). In fact, I had one court case regarding child support that came up and I was going to hire him to help me, but he told me not to, because he was confident the case would go smoothly and I'd just be wasting money to hire him. He's saved me lots of money! That's why I didn't even flinch at paying the cost when I did need his help in later cases.
They not only handle my legal needs with excellence, but they also help with my human to human need, helping me simply process and understand my situation, and accept what needs to happen next. David's not just a lawyer, he's a real person who's had his own share of court experiences. So he can easily understand my side of the situation.
Lastly, I'll just remark on his actual courtroom demeanor. David is tall, and I mean tall! He brings a cool suit, and the latest technology. He walks in with a huge smile and has absolutely no hesitation to speak up to me, anyone I have with me, and even my attacking Ex. He definitely makes the court experience less intimidating. Not to mention, it's a great feeling to have such a cool lawyer walk into the courtroom with you. And he's very sharp witted, catching all the details, analyzing the discussion, and communicating the right amount to the judge.

Extremely knowledgeable
I went in with a lot of questions and very little understanding of the situation I found myself in, Atty Wenger was very compassionate and took the time to explain everything to me in a way that made sense.

He really listens
I hired this attorney for a custody case, he fee's were more than reasonable and he really stepped up when it was time for our trial. I would recommend him to anyone. If you are thinking about it, do it.

Wellll
The first time I contacted Attorney Wenger we had wonderful conversation and he seemed deeply interested in my case. We spoke on the phone for about and hour concerning my case. I was ready to hire him on the spot but I wanted to talk to my family first. After about 20 minutes I get a call from what I’m assuming was his secretary and she asked me if I knew my ex. (They asked her name, won’t share that here) and I said well of course, she is the other party in the case. They asked if I was going to hire Attorney Wenger because if not, he was gonna go work with my ex. Huge Red Flags went up immediately and I questioned whether he could or not because he already spoke to me and knew the details of the case. Attorney Wenger himself then called me and explained that he was going to represent her if I didn’t hire him so I brought up my concerns again. I guess he didn’t end up allowing that but I too didn’t hire him. After a few months I felt like I should give him another shot and when I called him back he seemed very interested in helping me again and we discussed payment and I explained my situation which he seemed ok with. When we hung up I didn’t hear from him again. Another few months go by, and surprisingly enough I call AGAIN to which he explains how he feels for me because of a situation he went through and how he knows what it’s like for fathers to get screwed. He had me sold, I committed, told him I would pay and i looked forward to working with him. He told me he would call that weekend, guess what… didnt call. Got a text saying he was going to call a little bit later. Finally called me back and just didn’t seem to care any more. Asked me to take pictures and email
Everything so I did. Didn’t get a response so I messaged and he said he would call me back the following Monday. To your surprise he never called. I waited a few minutes and reached out and he told me he was still on client calls but he was going to call. Nope didn’t happen. Waited again till Tuesday evening and finally reached out. Still have yet to get a response from this guy. So I had trial for custody last week and went pro sé (best decision I’ve ever made) but during that time before he blew me off again he told me to do a few things before trial. Trial day. Were sitting in the courtroom and all of a sudden my ex spouts off everything this guy recommended I do only twisted it to fit her agenda…. I mean to a T. So to get to the point I think (strictly my feelings, not accusing) he has or was talking to my ex more than I know and it really just gave me a bad taste. Personally I wouldn’t recommend him to either of my exs. Seemed like a great attorney and even better guy. Watch out for the facades. They’re low paid actors and he failed his debut audition. Please be careful and diligent when calling. I would hate to see anyone get screwed.
