Posted by anonymous | August 30, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

If I could give her 0 stars I would.

Spent over $20,000 on an attorney that lost all of my cases. One of her errors cost me partial custody of my daughter, and she didn’t catch it as my attorney. She told me to never contact her again after I asked her what could be done to fix this. She was rude and condescending in times I needed po...sitive help. You will be wasting your money if you hire her.

Disgruntled

I hired Ms. Widener to defend me in a criminal case I was charged with. Having never been charged with anything criminal, I didn't know where to turn.. Lucky for me, after working with Miss Widener for 2 months, I realized I made a grave selection in my choice of Miss Widener. Not only did she miss s...everal key opportunities to have my case dismissed, she repeatedly tried to get me to take a plea or blame someone else even though no crime ever occurred. She billed me excessively... every actual hour turned into 2 or 4 on her bill. Her lack of compression and skills translated into thousands in cost for me...A case that I was told would cost $25,000 start to finish became $10,000 before I even got to court. I highly recommend looking elsewhere when you're seeking competent legal representation...

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.
