Robert Widner is my Hero!

Robert S. Widner and his team of family law attorneys at the Widner Family Law Group have helped me to achieve a remarkable victory in the Dallas Family Court. As a father facing divorce, I am extremely grateful to Robert Widner, who works hard to do the important things first and to keep legal cost...s down to an affordable level. He believes in father's rights and has been incredibly successful in helping me to achieve my goals. Robert provides experienced leadership for a team of younger attorneys. Robert listened to my story and clearly understood my objectives. I worked mostly with Courtney Lynn Coffin on his staff, but Robert joined many of the preparation meetings and provided overall direction. I have witnessed his staff pulling together as a team and communicating well with clients. Robert and his team are fierce warriors in the courtroom and skilled diplomats in the hallway. I highly recommend Robert S. Widner as a family law attorney.

Widner Family Law Group—Very Happy

I am very happy with Bob and his team of lawyers and staff. They care about people and are not just about billing clients. When you are fighting in court, sometimes it isn’t worth the money and the last attorney I had, I ended up paying for a new car. Bob charged me a flat fee each month and worke...d to get the divorce over—and didn’t try to make things worse.

The lawyer cares about his clients, and saves them tons of pain and money.

His no retainer and flat fee billing arrangement saved me thousands of dollars in fees. He is one of the best divorce and family lawyer. He cares about this clients. He also has a radio show where he helps try to keep couples together called "Divorce Rescue." He made a different for me in my life...--I was in alot of pain and I could trust him.

GREAT TEAM TO WORK WITH

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE WIDNER LAW FIRM, I hired them to handle my divorce and custody suit(and they are currently still working for me!!). They are very knowledgable about divorce and custody laws. My questions and concerns are always addressed timely and friendly. I would highly recommend this... law firm.

Robert S. Widner

Divorce, it stinks and the walk through it is even worse, especially if you have a spouse whose only goal in life is to destroy you, your kids and your career. That is what mine has tried to do. I went through two other lawyers and about 13,000.00 before I found one that would listen and not take ...my paycheck. Robert and his team listened to what I wanted and I felt they understood me. They even went as far as to offer assistance to my ex who for a better word is just mean. My experience with Attorneys is long; my divorce was dragged out for over two years because I felt guilty for my children. The team at Widner helped me see that not always do you have to be ugly to get what you want in a divorce. I had a previous Attorney that I fired tell me that “nice guys never win”. In my book she was wrong and Robert and his team helped me prove that. Here is some quick info about my case: I’m in the military and have been for over 25 years and I was married for over 19 year, so not only did the Team have to understand and know the civilian laws they also had to do their research and understand military law and regulations as well Though often we tend to forget that Attorneys work for us, they only give us directions and the tools to make the hard decision we must in the Jerry Springer World we live in a Divorce. IN the END it is our decision, no one else.
