Exactly the way he looks … fat and lazy

Bob was my next door neighbor. He initially helped me out, but did me no favors at all. He’s too busy trying to get his ugly “Picasso” posters authenticated. Smoking Cigars, trying to figure out a way to own property in Cuba . Lying about selling his technology company for millions. Basically he sat ...around until the very last day on my divorce decree, told me … “ it’s fine … sign it or it’s going to be dismissed “ He never reviewed it… which gave my ex an additional 3 months to attempt to refinance our property to buy me out . It had already been 3 months. Now he will not return my calls. Worst part is he did the same thing to a friend of mine, who attempted to warn me about his work ethic. She ended up being sued because of his negligence.

Run While You Can!

I made the mistake of paying him up front, it was downhill hill from there. Would not take calls, and spoke to me like a dog. I have NEVER been treated like that before in my life. JUST PLAIN RUDE!!!

One of the best at Parental Alienation Cases

Bob had been referred by the local parental alienation group, and by two members, both of which Bob helped stop alienation from their kids. He put me through counseling, and co-parenting with Dr. Coakley and I learned the key on dealing with a selfish narcissistic spouse. They take and take from yo...u. I ended up with primary custody of both of our kids. Bob takes cases where the parent is the empathetic one, and kinder to the kids. In a couple of Bob's over 2000 cases, parents that lost custody because of him write silly reviews and that didn't deter me, because he came so highly recommended by the PA groups, and I read an article taking about his approach on how he eliminates the judge and unfairness.

A Lawyer with a Plan

My unfaithful husband was making it hard to believe there was good left in the world. Bob and his team brought faith back into my life. After my husband decided our family was not going to work for him Bob helped me realize it was not the end of my family’s happiness. Bob and his team knew exactly ho...w my case was going to work out. Bob had stated in our first consultation how he had worked in my county on numerous occasions and it was obvious he was well known at our fist hearing. Bob knew what he was doing in court and after a few hearings we came out on top like they had said. I am very thankful for the Widner Family Law group and now my family can put this behind us.

Recommended Family Lawyer

My family and I were in a crisis when my husband made the decision upon himself to leave. My children did not know how to deal with it since they had no reason to in the past. Bob helped me come to terms and set out a plan for my family. Bob was really nice to my kids always letting them know my case... would turn out good for us all. Bob was not lying. My husband will regret what he did thanks to Bob and his team. They were very knowledgeable about my case having dealt with similar cases for years. My case turned our lives upside down and the Widner Family Law Group returned it right side up.

  • 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.
