Mr. Wentz gave me such a sign of relief after talking to him. Going through a divorce is tough and making sure I was making the right decisions having him explain the process made it much more comfortable. I highly recommend his team!

Custody

Posted by

Kelly and Arron are hands down the best attorneys in this area. As an unmarried father that had a child with with a very difficult co-parent, I am beyond blessed to be able to have retained his/her team. They are very quick to respond and very up front with how the law works and what can and can't be done in a custody battle. It has been a long road with my case, but they were always right there and guided me the entire time. I would not have been able to accomplish anything close to what I did for my son an I without their representation. I not only have equal time share after being hindered greatly from having a relationship with my son for the first two years of his life, I have equal everything else which was very important to me. I always felt that they were wiling to fight tooth and nail for the best interest of my child as well as my rights as his father. I will be at their front door to hire them again for any future issues if they ever arise again. If you are needing a firm that really will fight for what is right for your child and your rights, look no further!

Mr Wentz Helped Me

Posted by

Mr Wentz helped me with my father's estate proceedings. He was an exemplary professional, prompt with correspondence and information, and made sure to explain to me what we were doing at each step of the process. I would certainly do business with him again in future matters.

Very Professional

Posted by

Throughout the divorce process Mr. Wentz and his employees were always in contact with updates on the situation with the divorce. Never did anything without first talking with me and gaining my approval. A very professional lawyer that was approachable and did his job well. I would recommend this law firm to anyone needing an attorney.

Amazing Team

Posted by

Let me start by saying that this team works like a well oiled machine. Aaron, Kelly, and Heather really helped me out when I needed it. I was always greeted when I came in the door with smiling faces, even when I flew in from out of town. Kelly was amazing, she would open the door for me when I was a little late. It felt good to have a great team to back me up. Thank you very much to the whole staff.
