Wenger Law is a Hard Pass for Me

Many reviews of this law firm include peoples’ opinions, which are indeed valid. However, to show my experience with this law firm, I thought I would provide an example of my experience. After Attorney Wenger botched my final divorce settlement and then tried to gaslight me into believing I had gotte...n a better deal, he did, after approximately 2 hours capitulate, and agree to fix the issue at his cost. As I rounded the finish line to my divorce, I received a phone call from the firm’s legal secretary. She phoned me to tell me that she was preparing to audit my final invoice and wanted to know if I would like the funds deducted before my final equitable distribution check was sent or if I would prefer an invoice. I chose the invoice option as I wanted the opportunity to see the charges. She stated that the invoice would be out later that day and within seconds of hanging up, she sent the invoice. I immediately called her back (literally within seconds of receiving the invoice). I asked if this was the final invoice as she stated in our previous conversation that she needed to audit the invoice and I was under the assumption that would take time. She assured me that this was the final, audited invoice. I perused the invoice and had several questions. To streamline my questioning, I made an Excel spreadsheet with the line items from the invoice and wrote my comments on the lines where I had questions. After three emails back and forth shaming me for asking questions, I simply let it go. However, in the evening, I received an email from Attorney Wenger in which the following was stated: “In reviewing the billing, I noticed an oversight: my time, up to and including the preparation for and attendance at the October 27, 2023, hearing, was not billed. If there is a dispute regarding the $2,754.00 balance, I am prepared to revise the billing for accuracy. Otherwise, the firm seeks only the outstanding balance.” So after confirming that the invoice was audited, not once but twice with the law firm, and then asking questions about the bill, there were suddenly new charges that had been missed. While Attorney Wenger did not send a revised invoice, his veiled threat was understood: Stop asking questions or we will charge you more. And there is so much more. So much so that I am filing a disciplinary complaint against this attorney. Let this be a cautionary tale for anyone seeking to do business with Wenger Law. This was at the end of my divorce of two years and all I did was point out errors in their billing. If you believe you can withstand this type of treatment from someone who is supposed to protect you, think twice as the service of this law firm will literally leave you a psychological mess. Good Luck!!!!
