Excellent Attorney

Was referred to Robert Wanker through a friend to assist me in litigation regarding a partition matter. He spent a great deal of time on my case and didn’t charge me up front for his services. Very bright and was able to help me when other attorneys failed to do so. I would use him again. He’s not ou...t to just make money, enjoys helping others.

Professional

Mr. Wanker represented me in a divorce settlement and was able to finalize the matter in less then a year. I’m so grateful to have been referred to such a professional and knowledgeable attorney that has years of experience. I was impressed with his extensive areas of expertise. Whatever you need he ...will find a way to get it done. He’s patient and fair and knows how to make a deal. I would highly recommend Robert Wanker.

Long-term client. Very Satisfied.

Robert was referred to me by the Brooklyn Bar Association when I needed a lawyer to handle my divorce. I was very satisfied with the way he negotiated for me, particularly when it came to my children. I have continued to consult with Robert after the divorce as well. He has been my attorney for 8 yea...rs. He drafted my will, sold my house, handled my mother's estate, and wrote a prenuptial agreement for my daughter. I find him to be straightforward, honest, friendly, understanding, and professional.

Great attorney. Multiple successful outcomes. Reasonable fees

I initially hired Robert to prepare my family's wills, living wills, and healthcare proxies. He did it all timely, exactly to our specifications, and for a much more reasonable fee than other attorneys quoted me. He was polite, professional, and spent a lot of time making sure we were satisfied. H...e even came to us, rather than make us go to him, to notarize our documents. (House calls from an attorney!) Later I hired him to probate a will for my mother's estate. Again, he did everything quickly and efficiently. It wasn't a huge estate, so we were worried about paying a huge legal bill. Not with Robert. He understood our position and lowered his normal charges for us. Finally, I hired him to file a personal injury lawsuit. (I didn't even know he did that kind of law when I called to ask him for a referral.) He took my case, did the investigation, handled the depositions, and settled the case before we even had to go to trial. I didn't have to pay him anything out of my own pocket. He took a percentage of the money he negotiated for my settlement. (He said if he didn't get me any money, I wouldn't have had to pay him anything at all, even after all his work on my behalf.) I would recommend Robert to anyone with an estate matter, a will to draw up, or a personal injury matter. I would recommend consulting with him about any other kinds of cases too. If he can't help you, he'll recommend someone who can.
