Best Attorney in Town

September 2024 Aaron Wentz PA and his team have managed several cases for me and my family from 2010 to the current case brought by my ex-wife. Aaron and his team helped guide my current wife and I, in gathering all our information related to our case, not just once but several times due to the la...ck of understanding from the ex-wife’s attorney. After 18 months of going back and forth with DFAS and other government agencies, Aaron and everyone on his team went above and beyond to get all allegations of contempt dropped again me. I could not have found a better team to secure my future, job, and finances from my ex-wife. They walked me through every aspect of my case and never let me down. I highly recommend Aaron Wentz PA and his team. Kelly Simmon, Katherine Sharp, and Alex Wentz are genuine attorneys and paralegals who will do what is in your best interest. While I hope to never need them again, I will never hesitate to reach out to them.

Relocation Case

Mr. Wentz was very knowledgeable and up to date on our case. He kept in constant communication throughout the entirety of my case through either email or via his paralegal who also did an awesome job getting our relocation paperwork completed and moved quickly as my husband is military.

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.
