When I got divorced (2+ years ago), I was pressured to agree to the parenting schedule that my ex-wife proposed in order to settle and avoid court. This arrangement was fragmented and left my ex-wife with more time. Before approaching Weinberger, I had spoken with 3 or 4 other lawyers. All of them told me that it's impossible to change the schedule so soon after getting divorced. When I spoke with Jennifer Varga at Weinberger, she worked with me to come up with a strategy to approach the situation. We eventually filed a motion and made the impossible possible. In court, she kept her cool while the adversary did not. Jennifer stuck to the facts and the judged granted us to undergo an evaluation by a Child and Adolescent Psychologist. We eventually got an equal parenting time schedule and were able to settle with a consent order that also put many other tools & arrangements into place to help facilitate several post-divorce issues that came up. Thank you, Jennifer!
Working with Richard made the process of divorce less complicated. I was consistently about to trust him to be thorough and make sure I didn't miss any steps or make any missteps. Divorce is a challenging and emotional process. Richard and his paralegal were available to support and guide me whenever I reached out with a question or needed a better understanding of the timeline. He is obviously very good at what he does and his intelligence is evident in each conversation, providing a sense of confidence for his client.
I did research before choosing an attorney for my recent litigation and used these reviews to gather Intell on different firms. I found the reviews very helpful and during my first consultation with Rachel I knew I found the right attorney for my case. Rachel is very knowledgeable, compassionate and acted as my advocate throughout this process. I highly recommend her and this firm.
Bari has assembled a professional team of experts with experience in all aspects of family law. Her representation of my position was direct and aggressive leading to quick resolution of my case. She is kind, considerate and relentless in her pursuit of justice. Bari reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt - she speaks softly, but carries a big stick.
I was in need of counsel for a family law matter and interviewed many attorneys. Bari Zell Weinberger was the only lawyer who truly listened to me and the particular facts in my case, framed my facts against current case law, and properly set my expectations. This is only half the battle however in legal representation. Bari Zell Weinberger zealously represented me, anticipating opposing counsel's next moves and how to counteract them. While every family matter is of a very personal nature, I trusted Bari Zell Weinberger without hesitation in securing the optimal outcome - an outcome that I truly believe only Bari Zell Weinberger. I am a lawyer and while my area of practice is far afield from family law. I have hired many lawyers in my career on behalf of my clients. It is that experience that led me hire Bari Zell Weinberger and led me to best possible outcome.
Rachel did a great job in handling our legal issues. She explained the details every step of the way and was very responsive as circumstances changed in the case. I would recommend Rachel and her team for Family Law work.
Rachel and everyone that I dealt with at WDFLG were absolutely wonderful. Considering my issue was handled during the height of COVID and that I am 300 miles from their office, the experience was perfect. I truly felt like everything was in their hands and I had nothing to worry about. Rachel has experience and knowledge converting Divorce from Bed & Board to permanent divorce. She was not the first lawyer I contacted, but she was clearly the most knowledgeable in this area. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend this law firm especially Rachel and her team. Thank you WDFLG!
Robyn was very professional and confident. I felt very comfortable with her as my lawyer and I’m so happy I hired her. She is knowledgeable and straight to the point. I trusted her 100% and would recommend anyone to use her you will not be disappointed.
Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
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?*

• 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.
