Divorce and Criiminal

Susan handled my divorce case and i could not be more pleased . She was extremely knowledgeable and very professional and very responsive . She was always available to me and emailed me right back and returned my calls promptly . I was very pleased with the outcome. She's very persistent and tena...cious but yet remains professional. She also handled A criminal matter for a family member and did a outstanding job with that as well. Please charged we're also very reasonable. I would highly recommend her and I will tell all my friends about her and I will use her again should the need arise.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Widenbaum recently helped me with a traffic offense and I've consulted with her on many other matters. She was extremely efficient, professional, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy, understanding and compassionate. She kept me informed about my case and explained things to me in a way that I cou...ld understand what was going on. She is very personable and seemed to know most people we came in contact with at the Courthouse. She is a diligent negotiator and very hard working. I'm glad she represented me and I don't think anyone could have done a better job then Ms. Widenbaum. I thank her for everything and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

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.
