legal guardianship

I contacted Aaron Wentz in November 2020 regarding a legal guardianship of our Great Grandson. He was able to get our Great Grandson back in our care within 10 days. The case lasted 2 years, and we won the case, the adoption situation was terminated. He and his staff kept us informed, gave sound adv...ice through out the situation. we are truly grateful for knowledge of the law and patience throughout the process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
