I highly recommend Brent Warkentine and his staff

I highly recommend Brent Warkentine and his staff. After working with other lawyers and spending unnecessary money without making any progress with my ex, Brent was a game-changer. He is highly experienced, efficient, kind, smart, and no-nonsense. With Brent in my corner, I felt confident and heard. ...He is a clear and honest straight-talker. You will feel assured that you are in the best hands, as there is no situation he hasn’t seen or dealt with in some way. My case was emotional and contentious and Warkentine Law kept me on an even knell while moving the issues forward professionally and successfully. I am very satisfied and relieved with the outcome. As well, Brent is mindful not to charge for unnecessary work or drive up costs and helped me stay focused on the big picture instead of getting caught up in small issues. Brent is ethical and fair, with an unmatched reputation as an effective advocate. I’m blessed to have found Warkentine Law and will continue to use Brent and his staff for any legal issues in the future.

Difficult divorce with many weird situations to handle

Brent definitely earned his fees for my case! Difficult ex and difficult circumstances overall. Brent, Vivian and Amy handled everything professionally and with attention to the details. They also were compassionate and caring making an extremely stressful situation more bearable. Brent’...s knowledge of the law and how courts and judges react to mitigating circumstances is extremely helpful. His recommendations comes from experience which helps in calming a client who’s dealing with difficult situations like divorce for the first time. So hire Brent and let him steer the ship. You’ll be grateful you did.

Amazing Attorney - High Conflict Divorce

I could not have asked for a better attorney when I hired Brent and his team for a very complicated and high conflict divorce case. Brent is extremely knowledgeable and detailed in his work and he took the time to walk me through all aspects of my case. Brent and his team are incredibly skilled, ha...rd-working, responsive and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Brent and his team!

Excellent representation

I highly recommend Brent and his staff. He assisted us with a post decree modification that should have never happened in the first place. He was able to get permanent orders modified (not easy to do) to a long distance parenting plan, which was is the child’s best interest. Unfortunately we couldn...’t come to an agreement outside of court. Brent was well prepared and handled the trial excellent and got us the outcome we were hoping for. His paralegal Amy was fantastic. She was quick to respond, and handles a lot of the leg work, which helps keep the cost down. Obviously court battles are expensive, but having an experienced paralegal helped tremendously. We were going through some hard times and couldn’t afford an attorney. That resulted in getting bullied by the other party and receiving orders that were ridiculous and not in the child’s best interest. When we could afford an attorney they dropped the ball and did absolutely nothing to try and resolve the situation. Brent cleaned up the other attorneys mistakes and put a quick stop to the bullying by the other party. I would highly recommend Brent and his staff for all your family law matters.

A Good Ethical Attorney

Brent Warkentine is an extremely good lawyer and his staff are wonderful. I feel very fortunate that he was willing to take on my case on short notice. My ex and I had decided we didn’t need an attorney to handle our divorce, but at the last minute I found out that my ex had hired an attorney and I... needed a lawyer immediately. Brent was able to schedule me in and guided me through the legal process so I wouldn’t get steamrolled by opposing council. He helped me through all the hoops and helped me to make the right choices for me and my son that were not based on emotions. Brent was highly recommended by other attorneys in the area and also in all the reviews I read. Brent’s staff always made me feel comfortable and at home whenever I was in the office. His staff were always available when I had questions or had Brent respond if they couldn’t provide the answers I needed. I have used Brent Warkentine on two occasions and will continue to use or recommend him to anyone needing a good lawyer.
