Seasoned Professional

I needed an attorney for a criminal case and hired the first one which turned out to be a disaster ... they were late for court ..absent sometimes ,and just not in agreement throughout ... the postponement‘s and delays . and going to court and watching all these lawyers ...Deborah linnartz Wiginto...n .. Really stood out .. as I was watching all these lawyers plead there case ,seem like hundreds ...but upon watching Deborah Linnartz Wiginton .in court i thought to myself.. I wish that was my lawyer ....but through circumstances beyond my control me and my previous lawyer had parted ways ..I then approached, Deborah‘s Linnartz Wigintons law firm and talk to her personally ..and she took my case ..I felt at ease right at the beginning throughout the process and in the end and the end result was as good as it gets the best way to describe Deborah is ( a seasoned professional ) ...watching her in court explains it all ...I highly recommend Deborah for any criminal law or any kind of defense I’m glad she was there on my side..

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Deborah Wigington for any family law matter. I hired her to represent me in a lengthy divorce involving child custody and she has been a rock star! She always keeps me informed of developments in my case and she is very knowledgeable about child custody matters. She does her hom...ework related to the case and is always great in court. Again, I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to hire a lawyer for a case involving family law.

Wigington: A Bright and Shining Legal Light

We hired Deborah Wigington and were convinced that her expertise and local flair would endear her to us. It didn't take long to consider her and her staff an answer to prayer. Our case was a difficult one that called for an attorney that we could count on for the long haul ahead. I highly recommen...d her to anyone looking for an attorney in Comal County and the surrounding areas. She not only includes spiritual references in her correspondence, she lives them daily. She is trustworthy, confident and a bright and shining light not only in our lives but in the community that she holds so dear!

Ethical and Knowledgeable

I retained Mrs. Wigington over eight years ago for my divorce. Some people simply work to make a living. Being an attorney is in Mrs. Wigington's blood. She is passionate about her career and practice. Unfortunately I am still using her services; my divorce included child custody, and the child custo...dy had to be modified. There are not enough words to express what Mrs. Wigington means to my family and I. She is knowledgeable, and takes her practice seriously. Her office staff are all helpful and considerate. She often responds to emails after hours, and even if the email is not answered over the weekend, she is still quick to respond. I have referred Mrs. Wigington to many friends and collegues, and I will continue to do so.

Deborah Linnartz Wigington

I contacted Deborah Wigington for my Divorce because she came highly recommended from numerous people. My experience was outstanding. Her compassion and concern for my physical & mental well-being was of utmost importance to her, which was instantly apparent during my initial (and very emotional) co...nsultation appointment. There was no question in my mind that she was the attorney I wanted and I did not hesitate to retain her. As with many things, the cost of any legal service can be high but I found Ms. Wigington's fees were reasonable and expected. Every question or inquiry I made to the office was addressed either directly by Deborah or her fantastic office staff. Deborah Wigington wasn't "just" an attorney...She was my biggest advocate through an incredibly difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her for any Family Law issues!!

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.
