Jeff & I worked together for 9 years on my case. The legal proceedings were far more complicated & arduous for what should have been a simple divorce & went on longer than I expected. Although Jeff would cite case law & provide documentation proving the falsehood of the opposing testimony it did no good. Many times I was ready to just give up but he never did & spent countless hours lifting me up. Jeff is an honest Christian attorney & in the end, his unfailing integrity won the case.

Jeff Wittenbrink represented us in a delicate family matter. First, he took the time to understand the situation completely and then quickly took action to resolve the matter expeditiously. He was compassionate, responsive and thoughtful in his approach. Jeff’s fee was a very small price to pay for the results that he achieved! I highly recommend Jeff if you need legal assistance. He is an outstanding attorney and a wonderful human being.

I hired Mr. Wittenbrink for my custody case, and he did great. We had a bumpy road with the opposing parties involved with motions and appeals but he always got me threw it. He told me he couldn’t promise to win my case but he was going to try, and he did. He stayed hands on my case for weeks. He saw the pain and hurt me and my kids had went threw and knew he had to do something since no one else would. He respected me and my family to the highest content and my children as well. This was a very hard time in my life for me and children, and he got me threw it. It was hard, definitely hard but he alway reassured me everything was going to be “Okay” He’s a genuine guy who will help as much as he can. I’m satisfied with what I got. Thank you so much Mr. Wittenbrink A+++++++

I hired Mr. Wittenbrinks to help me fight for full custody of my 2 year old daughter. He was very hands on. Whenever I needed to get in touch with him, he promptly returned my calls. He gave me a piece of mind and made sure I understood the process. The day of court he showed up early just make sure everyone was on the same page. Because of him I now have full custody of my daughter and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer with a certain level of professionalismand who will definitely get the job done.

Jeff was an outstanding advocate for me. He fought for me aggressively throughout a complex and difficult property settlement. I feel the outcome fair and just. He knows the law and knows how to get things done in the court system.

We hired Mr. Whittenbrink to assist us with a family situation. He proved to be an outstanding lawyer and showed he truly cared about our family's well being. What happened to our family should never have happened and he went above and beyond the call of duty to secure the rights of our family. He was extremely personable and gave us sound, quality advice. Once his job was complete, he hung around to make sure our family was ok, even postponing a personal appointment he had later in the day. After we completed the contract, he never mentioned fees again. He is an outstanding lawyer. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to anyone else. I now consider him a true friend.

Jeffrey S. Wittenbrink is a great lawyer! He has offered to help me with my case at school with no charge. He spent his own times into it and did not disappoint. He would be my number one choice if I ever need a lawyer again!

Jeffrey Wittenbrink has handled two situations for me requiring a lawyer. I was pleased with the way both were handled. The most recent (4/2018), involving cemetery grave markers, was to my relief, settled in only two days. I thought his fee was very reasonable, and I was very satisfied with the outcome.

He responded very promptly! He also called me the first chance he had. I can deffinitely say I admire this personality trait within an attorney. Even with their busy schedules it's nice to feel you matter. He was patient, informatable, and the willingness to want to help was great! He was able to make me an appt right away, though I did call to cancel as an attorney friend has agreed to help me. I did want to thank you for you prompt help. I won't hesitate to contact you in the future if ever needed. Thanks again! Rebecca

Mr. Wittenbrink is a very thorough and knowledgeable attorney. He represented me in a very contested child custody case, in which I was able to come out on top each time I stepped foot in front of the judge. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great legal representation.
