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 firm, no-nonsense firm you can trust!!

Brent and his team are true professionals that you can rely on and trust! Brent has represented me for the last 3 years, as an active duty service member in a difficult child custody battle with parental alienation. Brent and his amazing team fought for my rights as a father and the rights of my da...ughters to ensure that they are given the best opportunity to have a positive and loving relationship with both parents. His knowledge, experience, and ability to tell it like it is set him apart and provided the firm no-nonsense approach that my case needed. As a result, I was awarded custody and sole decision making. Brent’s team and services are worth every penny and he even provided ways to cut costs which is always a plus during a difficult case. Without Brent and his amazing team, my family would be at a great loss! Should the need arise, I will continue to utilize his services and I highly recommend him to anyone going through a custody battle, especially with parental alienation.

An amazing firm that’s worth every dollar!!!

Brent handled my dispute beautifully! His firm put all of our worries at ease so that we could be a family during this last year and a half. Brent, Amy and Vivian were the best and I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a high conflict situation like we were.

Recommend him in a second!

Thank goodness I found Mr. Warkentine! My EX and I thought we could file things ourselves. We were talking things over, making agreements, making compromises... thought we were communicating well and that everything would be in the best interest of our daughter.... Boy, was I wrong! My EX had reeled ...me in and had me ready to sign when I got papers in the mail that he had retained an attorney. I felt lost, taken advantage of and basically DUPED. Mr. Warkentine and his team guided me through the most difficult time I have ever experienced. They all kept me informed, counseled me, guided and steered me through the best path in the long run for my daughter, me AND my ex. I am so thankful. I would recommend Brent Warkentine in a heartbeat!! He and his office are truly caring, knowledgeable and prompt... I never felt out of the loop or alone.

Best divorce lawyer ever!

Brent Warkentine is the best lawyer in town! He and his staff are amazing. Brent understood that my long overdue decision to get a divorce was overwhelming and stressful for my daughter and I. My divorce process seemed somewhat doomed. Every thing that could go wrong with my ex, did. Brent was ...committed to get results with minimal conflict, in minimal time and minimal cost. He and his staff have had compassion for me at the worst time in my life. Brent has made a positive difference with his personal attention and his professional skills in court, mediation and dealing with the final decree of divorce. I continue to have problems with my ex as we speak. I really believed I was done with this divorce in March... Brent and his staff continue to understand my daughter and my needs and financial pressures. I value all their skillful negotiations in resolving these ongoing disputes. Someday there will be an end. Not sure when. But until then. Brent and his staff will be in my corner. I have and continue to recommend Brent Warkentine as my trusted lawyer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
