Child support matter

Ms. Widenbaum was professional and personable. She was honest and aggressive in her representation of my concern, and left no doubt that she was the right one for the job. Completely thorough! How do you spell MUWAA!! In the King's English! She is a class act! Her level headedness and fairness ...in a sometimes be-moaned profession (the law) is further proof that there are sometimes silver linings behind even the darkest clouds.

'Thorough'

Always professional while yet personable, Atty. Widenbaum's knowledge of the law, while remaining completely honest in all aspects regarding the matter at hand, actually helped me to settle down and leave the matter to her. She is completely thorough and relentless in her work. It was refreshing ...to see someone work that hard on my behalf. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Atty. Widenbaum is a class act!

Awesome Attorney!

Awesome Attorney. She is an absolute wonderful person who will aggressive defend you. I've used her for legal matters in the past and have always been 150% satisfied. I recommend checking with her on any legal matter you may be faced with. If she can't help you, she will refer you to someone who can.... Even if you're not within the same county, check with her. You will not be sorry you did. .

Great experience!

Terrific experience with Mrs. Widenbaum as my attorney during my bankruptcy. She went above and beyond what was called for. She was professional while being caring and helpful. Unlike other attorneys I have had in the past she listens to what you are saying and sees you as a real person with problems.... She was very sympathetic to my situation and was always willing to answer any questions I had. She took care of everything in advance so that I didn't have anything to worry about when I walked into court. I was literally in and out of the courtroom in 10 or 15 minutes and most of those were waiting to be seen! I cannot say enough great things about her or her staff. Her staff was on the ball with answers to my questions and returning my phone calls and emails. I would recommend her to anyone and have done so to my family and friends who need an excellent attorney. I live 40 minutes away from her office with traffic and construction going on but would continue to make the drive because her services are worth it.

Excellent representation

Excellent representation during marathon negotiations. Her performance was appropriate, extremely professional, and always in my best interests. Restores my belief in our judicial system, and speaks well for her negotiating skills and persistence. I feel fortunate to having her represent me during... the difficulties. Alan J
