I was fortunate to have a friend recommend John Wieser to handle my divorce. He and Frank were immensely helpful in walking me through the legalese, what to expect, and answering all of my questions. They also worked around my schedule and location for in-person meetings; making the process as convenient as possible. I have already recommended them to several people.

I have been working with John for almost 7 years. It started with my Divorce, after 2 bad experiences with Lawyers I called his office in tears and feeling hopeless. John and his team helped me feel more at ease going into "Divorce Battle". And I have used John as my lawyer for countless trips back to court for custody related battles. He is honest and trustworthy and great to work with, he is prompt with replys to matters too. Ive referred several friends and family members to him over the years.

I am grateful to have John Wieser as my lawyer. He's been very professional, honest, straight foward, and reasonably priced. He has dealt with a contentious divorce with a level head and is able to offer sage advice. This is not his first rodeo! I can't imagine navigating this mess without him. I highly recommend him for divorce and bankruptcy cases!
