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.

Don't waste your money or time....

Robert Widner told me exactly what I wanted to hear and gave me great hopes about my custody and divorce modification case. I appeared at court the first time and another attorney showed up to represent me whom had zero knowledge about my case and had only graduated law school 2 months prior. Didn'...t even know their way around the courthouse and asking the client the family code #s and what they say. I have had many questions and time sensitive issues that I needed immediate answers and after weeks, still get no response after many phone calls, texts and emails. I have done majority of the documentation for this case, but still having to pay them. He is very unorganized, can't stay focused when talking to you about the case, can't follow up with you at all. He can't file necessary paperwork in a timely manner or provide you with any documents for your records. This is actually the worse attorney I have dealt with.

Best Choice for my Family

Visiting lawyer after lawyer I had never been so stressed in my life. Having to drag my children from office to office talking about their lives to strangers. I had to pick someone fast and I went with the Widner Family Law Group. My children and I grew to like Bob and his office staff. They were ver...y attentive and kept us calm through it all. We did not feel like strangers or just another case. Our visits with Bob were not crowded with other people and we always saw him and never with just one of his staff taking notes. There was never a time we could not get ahold of Bob or his team for updates on our case. They were a happy bunch helping another family in need.

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.
