Vanessa Gnekow, Family Attorney on Jan 20, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Wishart on an extremely contentious, volatile case. The case could have turned ugly, if not for Mr. Wishart's extraordinary work ethic and tremendous integrity. It is because of Mr. Wishart's professionalism that we were able to resolve the matter in a mutually beneficial way for our clients. In addition, the matter was resolved very quickly and outside of court. Accordingly, I highly recommend Mr. Wishart!

Ben is one the finest attorneys that I have had the privilege of working with. He and I worked in the same law firm with our father for several years. We worked on many of the same cases together, though he always managed his own case load. I know him to be honest, straightforward and hardworking. Ben is passionate about his cases, knowledgeable in the law, and always willing to negotiate to save his client's money. He is an asset to the community. I am proud to call him my brother.
