Jeff provided excellent legal services, as well as personal support, through a very difficult decision making process and time in my life. He was attentive and encouraging, but was a realist, which I valued and felt was necessary for proper decision making. I highly recommend Jeff for domestic issues, particularly where violence is concerned, which I believe requires special expertise to advise clients properly.

Mr. Wittenbrink is very knowledgeable in his area of law and I believe my case could not have been handled any better by any other attorney in this field of expertise. He treated myself and my family with the utmost respect and was very thorough with my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs this type of service.

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.

He has been working on a succession for four years now and nothing has been done!! Blamed it on covid, but has been handling this for us since 2018. Won’t return phone calls. Should be no stars, but that’s not an option so you get 1.

Jeff Wittenbrink is very easy to talk to, and his experience proved invaluable in my case. He was very responsive to my many questions, and ultimately got me custody of my 2-yr old daughter, with my ex-wife paying child support. I highly recommend him.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
