divorce judgment case

I am truly grateful I found this law firm. Prior to Mr. Wentz firm, I consulted and was represented by multiple lawyers with no positive outcome and only waisted time. Going with Aaron Wentz's firm was the best decision and Kelly Simon representation of me at the court was fantastic. They were able t...o resolve my case in the court with a positive outcome. I wish that I had this firm working on my case from the beginning, will save me time and money. I am happy that I got everything I asked for. I would highly recommend this firm, they get job done quickly and right at the first time.

Highly Recommend

I am truly grateful I found this law firm. As a young adult who has never seen or been around any divorce processes in my life this was made easy. Heather, Kelly, and Mr. Wentz did a phenomenal job with making this process smooth. I came in with no knowledge of how any of this was going to work. They... explained everything to my understanding and when I did reach out to them by phone and email I always got a speedy response. If they did miss a phone call, they were always on point with calling me back. My biggest applause is when I initially started I was stateside and soon thereafter I was sent on a deployment during the thick of the process. Even while deployed and with a significant time difference everything was still handled efficiently. I am fortunate to have dealt with such a competent office. If anything else was to ever come up I would definitely acquire their service again and with no hesitation I would recommend them to anyone I know if they were in the same situation.

Divorce Made Easy

I consulted with multiple lawyers for my divorce, and going with Aaron Wentz's firm was the best decision. They went over the worst-case scenarios, as well as best-case scenarios, not sugar-coating anything. They were easy to get in touch with quickly when it was needed, affordable, and were quick to... answer any questions I had. The divorce process was so much easier with them. I recommend them for any family lawyer you need.

Excellent Representation

The whole staff that handled the issue was very professional, empathetic, and efficient. I was always quickly updated and well informed on the filing process, and they were there to support me at the actual court date. Would definitely use them in the future if the need arose.
