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

Excellent Law Group. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the Widner Family Law Group for their exceptional service on our case. Bob and his team have excellent litigation skills. We’ve gone through at least five attorneys throughout the years regarding custody and child support issues, and I’ve never known any other firm more prepared or foc...used. Bob and his team have the ability to balance professionalism with personal care, and made us feel like we were people going through real problems and not just a case number. They are also the most ethical lawyers I’ve ever met. The best thing about Widner Family Law Group is that they respond to your requests and listen to your concerns because they are very genuine in helping others.

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.

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.
