A brighter future

My family was going through a rough time during our case. Having to share my family with my drug addict husband and the costs were too much to deal with alone. Then I was referred to the Widner Family Law Group. Bob was very knowledgeable and passionate about my case. After I was threatened with the ...separation of my kids we came out strong. With Bob's help my children and I are able to look towards a happier future.

Best Decision For My Family

Hiring Bob to handle my divorce was the best decision I have made through this entire process. I previously had an attorney who showed little interest in my case and my children. This changed when I came to Bob's office. He took the necessary steps to have child custody and child support in place and... did what was necessary to finalize my divorce. He even took the time to talk with me about getting my kids to college. He told me all the steps I should be taking now and offered some great resources! This attorney cares!

Bob and his staff have pretty much done the impossible!

Bob and his staff have pretty much done the impossible: restored my faith in lawyers, particularly those in the divorce category. Bob Widner is exactly the guy I wish I'd known about during my initial divorce settlement; no way that was going to be a pleasant experience, but I would've hoped for a be...tter relationship with the attorney (my first) who was representing me in a very difficult time. Long story short, I needed add'l legal help and thankfully found Bob. I've found him to be kind and compassionate about my issues--and his experiences in working with Dr. Phil for two years in a training called Pathways helped him understand my case better than anyone else. Again, every time I've interacted with him and his staff, I've found it to be cordial, intelligent... almost even... pleasant. Bob rules.

Very professional and knowledgable!

Having previously been involved in a very high-conflict divorce and complicated / difficult child custody, I was looking for a competent, detail-oriented attorney who would be able to finally resolve a number of ongoing issues. Bob Widner and the Widner Family Law Firm was recommended to me by a form...er family court judge. Bob was exactly the lawyer I needed - aggressive, helpful, straightforward, communicative, sincere, knowledgeable and is just a good person. Bob quickly observed that my not standing up for myself with my ex was not helping me. Bob immediately worked to understand the fundamentals of my case, was quickly able to gauge when a response or action was necessary during the negotiation and when it would have been a waste of both his time and my money. His flat monthly fee helped win my case, because my ex employed an hourly attorney and she ran out of money. Bob achieved a better outcome than I could have hoped for. Mary

Great Dallas Divorce Lawyer

Bob Widner and his entire law firm are absolutely the best! Bob was professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and always available. His patience and unbelievable empathy were two qualities that I wasn't expecting to find in a lawyer, but these were the two qualities that always made the time that I s...pent with him as therapeutic as they were productive. He was always confident and positive as he steadily and patiently guided me through the difficult divorce process. I was continually amazed by his thoroughness and his ability to remember every single fact that I had ever told him.....he honesly never left a single stone unturned. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone seeking a great and compassionate divorce lawyer. Today, I not only value him as a legal representative, but I am also honored to call him my very dear friend.
