Widner Family Law Group

Bob and his team made me feel at ease. During the first consultation we developed a strategy that worked best with my expectations for the outcome of my case. I received follow up calls upon updates in my case. They were professional and detailed. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome for my ...children and I.

Great lawyer, but more importantly a great individual

The Widner Law Group has been a God-send to our family. Custody matters are never easy. His team has guided us through our issue. Along the way they have always responded promptly and with accurate information of what they believe will happen. Our case took close to a year to wrap up. During that yea...r we had an opportunity to meet the staff and know them on a personal level and know that they will do everything they can to get the case resolved in your favor within reason. I definitely recommend Bob and his team.

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

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.

Bob Widner, Thanks!

I heard about Bob from my sister who listens to his radio show on 100.7 the Word FM, Ready For Hope, and we called the radio station to find out how to get a hold of him. I heard the show Bob had with Dr. Warshak, who is one of the top parental alienation experts and I didn’t even know there was a n...ame for what my ex did, he was driving my kids away, being hurtful, and making them scared to be close to me. Bob brought in a counselor who helped and I had been through two other attorneys and spent over $30,000, wasted. Bob has started the healing process, although my ex still hurts, at least I am closer to my kids!
