I hired him for a flat fee. He was very affordable and he knows how to plan and win the case. My divorce case is not over yet, but it seems to be going so well now as the opposing counselor withdrew and my divorcee is defenseless now.

I would rate a 0 if I could, he made promises he never kept. Took 4k and never filed a motion on my case if parental alienation. What he actually did was nothing. I Lost my son who only knew his mom and brother for 15 years, to a man with 6 kids and 5 baby's mothers. I'm now suffering depression because my son was abused, robbed and abononded in another state, I missed my son's entire high school years, and 1st year of college. While the deadbeat refused to let him contact or see me. When he realized child support stopped 800/monthly from a single, struggling mother, he abandoned him, and during Covid. Bob is not here to help anything but his pockets. These are the facts. Also I still have other clients personal records, including bank statements, as well as Bob's bank statements which were negative...please DO NOT RETAIN.

Great work for the money. Even with this dang covid situation, Widner and assoc has represented me well in divorce court. The cheat tried to take my kids from me but she lost thanks to the great team at widner. The communication was pretty good, really great due to the current situation but, they are still grinding out these cases and supporting my livelihood. My best investment ever.

His team was pretty good at getting my issue though my explaining could've been on me. Anyways, it was great in court. They came prepared and the prosecution for my case even looked frustrated when they found out winder was doing my case. Of course we won and Widner sent them back home crying A+ for me!

Slightly expensive but for the value, it was amazing. Represented my and my kids in court against an abusive mother who tried to hire paul key and still lost. Amazing service. I am extremely happy with the level of service I received from this encounter.

Skeptical at first about hiring this firm. Bob had over 2000 cases I saw online, but 3-4 bad reviews. I asked Bob about the reviews because they used funny terms like "double agent", and he explained that one lady client used a hachet on her own children and Bob is about kids. He withdrew. Another guy was doing meth, and Bob withdrew, even though he got him visitation. My ex was on meth but the judge didn't take our kids away from her. THe system was screwing me. Judges get votes, they don't get selected because they understand parental alienation. THe system is fixed. My ex's parent were millionaires and tried to break me! Bob great the crooked system. Bob charged a flat $1500 per month and kept me in the ballgame. Then when the judge didn't treat me fair, Bob asked for a jury trial. He had more jury experience than the four lawyers that were against us. I won custody from the jury, and Bob destroyed my ex on the stand. It took a jury trial to get me justice.

My family was going through a rough time during our case. Having to share my family with my drug addict husband and the costs were too much to deal with alone. Then I was referred to the Widner Family Law Group. Bob was very knowedgeable and passionate about my case. After I was threatened with the separation of my kids we came out strong. With Bob's hep my children and I are able to look towards a happier future.

Awful. He might act very nice/caring whenever u meet him. But he's a very nasty person who just knows how to lie & take money from ppl going though bad situations. Plz read all his reviews before giving this guy a single penny. Notice the way all his good reviews writtem (they're from himself). His last interest is your matter...he'll tell you what you want to hear & take your money but wont do anything. Unfortunately most people that go to bob (or any other lawyer) are in a really bad situation & they dont know the law... I was in a terrible situation both financially & emotionally. I'm not a lawyer & didnt know what im entitled to & etc... Bob told me what i wanted to hear & told me he'd work out a monthly flat fee with me since i dont have a $10K to $20K retainer to pay. I paid $3K/mo & not only did he NOT do anything, he extensively messed up my case. He has NO interest for your matter just your money. It's abt 4 yrs past but i'm still dealing with the damages he caused.

Bob,instead of meeting regarding my case, he spent endless hours talking about his daughter,never discussing my case, he made promises that were never fulfilled. He took 3K and blew smoke up my tail, made several phone unanswered phone calls to him to follow up on why no movement was happening on my case. The day of court regarding this severe parental alienation & abduction issue, The judge advises him he never filed a motion, he didn't know any details on the case after he obtained all copies of my case files. I ended up forking over my child he had nothing to fight with.
I came to pick up my paperwork at his office I sat 2 1/2 hours in the lobby. Another family comes in ready to rip his head off, overhearing the discussion. I realized our experiences were very similiar, he was out of 9k. To make a long story short, HE IS A CON ARTIST, BANKRUPT & GETTING READY TO MOVE AGAIN,HE'S CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY SON! AND TOOK MY MONEY, HE HAS NO BUSINESS PRACTICING LAW. DO NOT USE HIM PLEASE!!

I cannot recommend him. He's a nice guy but he said exactly what I wanted to hear but did not deliver. He never seemed prepared. I had to keep resending info I had sent previously. I should have been more skeptical when he showed up two hours late for our initial consult. I'm extremely disappointed and really wish I had a more favorable review.

I don't recommend him. Tells you what you want to hear so you pay him but once you do, he doesn't do anything. Just hurts your your case. unprofessional, lazy, doesn't know the law, unfocused, staff is unorganized.

Having previously been involved in a very high-conflict divorce and complicated / difficult child custody, I was looking for a competent, detail-oriented attorney who would be able to finally resolve a number of ongoing issues. Bob Widner and the Widner Family Law Firm was recommended to me by a former family court judge. Bob was exactly the lawyer I needed - aggressive, helpful, straightforward, communicative, sincere, knowledgeable and is just a good person. Bob quickly observed that my not standing up for myself with my ex was not helping me. Bob immediately worked to understand the fundamentals of my case, was quickly able to gauge when a response or action was necessary during the negotiation and when it would have been a waste of both his time and my money. His flat monthly fee helped win my case, because my ex employed an hourly attorney and she ran out of money. Bob achieved a better outcome than I could have hoped for.

Many thanks to the Widner Family Law Group for their exceptional service on our case. Bob and his team have excellent litigation skills. We’ve gone through at least five attorneys throughout the years regarding custody and child support issues, and I’ve never known any other firm more prepared or focused. Bob and his team have the ability to balance professionalism with personal care, and made us feel like we were people going through real problems and not just a case number. They are also the most ethical lawyers I’ve ever met. The best thing about Widner Family Law Group is that they respond to your requests and listen to your concerns because they are very genuine in helping others.

Bob Widner and his entire law firm are absolutely the best! Bob was professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and always available. His patience and unbelievable empathy were two qualities that I wasn't expecting to find in a lawyer, but these were the two qualities that always made the time that I spent with him as therapeutic as they were productive. He was always confident and positive as he steadily and patiently guided me through the difficult divorce process. I was continually amazed by his thoroughness and his ability to remember every single fact that I had ever told him.....he honesly never left a single stone unturned. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone seeking a great and compassionate divorce lawyer. Today, I not only value him as a legal representative, but I am also honored to call him my very dear friend.

Once you pay you have no way of knowing if the work is getting done until it is too late. His office did not file paperwork on time or correctly. It was a complete ripoff. He showed up to court unprepared and attempted to hide it by presuring me into setting at my dispense. None of my paperwork was provided to me when requested. They never reviewed or corrected the final decree. I have not been able to reach them over the phone in months. Had to hire a new lawyer to complete work already paid for.

Terrible!!! Flat out lied to me, didn't show up in court, ended up losing a lot of time and money because of this guy. Told him what was non-nego for me in regards to divorce, flat out lied and said it was covered...it wasn't. Will cost me even more to get a competent atty to repair the damage. Suggested I give my ex-who was tried and convicted of violence towards me- joint custody or else I would lose in court. Apparently, that was also a lie. HORRIBLE!!!

Horrible, horrible horrible. No matter the cost of this attorney you have got to know your rights and have someone with enough sense to explain them to you. That's why you pay for an attorney to explain the legal stuff to you and what your options are. Someone to lookout for your best interest...This guy didn't do that.

I hired bob to help out with my family situation against a big firm in Dallas. He mediated my case successfully where me and my husband were both happy with the results and what was best for our children. I recommend Bob to anyone who needs an affordable attorney for their divorce.

My advice stay clear from this attorney. Lack of communication with his client and pure laziness will affect your case in the worst possible way. He never finishes things when he says he will.

Don't waste your money. I ended up doing all the work. Fired him less than a month after he filed the petition. He never removed himself from the case, never sent me my file and never gave me a financial accounting as I asked. I wrote my own settlement agreement, wrote my final decree..did all the paperwork myself. Divorce was final this morning.
