Divorce is never an easy option. It may be the right option, but it is still never easy. The changes in life - particularly if there are children involved - demand sacrifices be made by both parents to preserve a fundamental level of respect between each other so that co-parenting can be as effective as possible. This is why, if you must seek legal counsel, you should choose Ben Wishart. Ben recognizes the importance of maintaining as much stability as possible in the children’s lives, and his preferred approach to divorce maintains a level of respect and fairness for both parties. If the divorce is contentious – as some inevitably become – Ben is well positioned to turn up the heat. Fortunately that has not been the case for me – yet – but I’m comfortable knowing that, with Ben’s guidance, I am prepared.
Ben Wishart is extremely knowledgeable. I met with him yesterday and he was able to clearly and concisely answer all of my questions. I believe he truly has the client's best interest in mind.
Attorney Benjamin Wishart was admitted to the California State Bar in 2011 and is a member of the Orange County Bar Association, as well as the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. Additionally, in 2011 and 2012, he volunteered his time as a research assistant at the International Center for Law and Religion Studies. He also served as a volunteer deputy attorney at the Orange County District Attorney’s office in the fall of 2012, where he prosecuted misdemeanor offenses.
Focusing his practice on family law and workers' compensation cases, Ben takes cases from all over Orange County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County. Providing client-centered solutions and a results-oriented approach, clients can trust in Attorney Wishart.

Oustanding Representation
Wishart & Associates was referred to me from a family friend who received excellent representation from the firm. I received outstanding representation from Ben Wishart, who took my very complicated divorce and made the process a breeze. With complete dedication to my case, attention to detail, professionalism, and sensitivity towards the emotional aspect of the process, he took care of every step along the way. He not only filed my divorce but the separation of assets/debts, and all the other paperwork that a divorce entails. I could have never done it myself. Soon after I attained Ben again for a paternity/child custody case, and again I experienced incredible representation. Very knowledgeable, firm with negotiation and a strong advocate, I am very thankful for what he has accomplished for me and my daughter. His hard work is greatly appreciated. I strongly recommend Ben to anyone who needs results and to have someone on your side.

Excellent Lawyer
Ben was very kind. Divorce is not easy, but Ben walked me through all the steps. It took about 10 months from start to finish. Ben was always on time and attentive when we had to meet about the case, in the office and at the court house.

He has shown impeccable decorum in stressful and challenging matters and I admire his tenacity to obtain the best results possible. He certainly is a preeminent advocate.

"I have seen Ben in action, and he is incredibly savvy and professional. He works hard and fights aggressively for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone."

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."
