I was referred to Mr. Wiederkehr by my cousin who used Evan during his messy divorce. My cousin had nothing but praise for Mr. Wiederkehr. But never in my wildest dreams did I expect to go through the same experience-- if not worse. But Evan walked me through every step of the process from beginning to end in what turned out to be a four year ordeal. It was messy, complicated and intense. But Evan met and surpassed every single challenge that came our way. Highly articulate, competent, completely on TOP of his game, Evan went beyond the call of duty for me and secured an excellent settlement. But more importantly, he helped me successfully close that horrible chapter in my life and move on financially. From his court appearances before different judges ( and there were quite a few!) to all his affidavits-- his eloquence, thoroughness, and excellence in representing me went beyond par. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Wiederkehr to anyone facing similar challenges. He will not let you down.

I hired Evan Wiederkehr after all my prior attorneys failed to help me achieve the results I wanted. I would like to say that my divorce case was not an easy one considering my ex-husband had carefully and strategically prepared himself for the event several months in advanced. We were married for 15+ years with kids. My ex-husband and I started several businesses together, much of the assets were in Trusts and companies in various jurisdictions some of which were international. My ex-husband and his divorce attorney secretedly moved almost all of our marital the assets out of the US and virtually made himself poor on paper. His attorney advised him to gradually stop contributing to the household maintenance and generating income. Some of you reading this might have had a similar story. Once I realized what my Ex-husband was doing I filed for divorce using an attorney recommended by a family friend who was not experienced to understand the complexity of marital assets and the company structures. He struggled with my case and was intimidated by my Ex and his attorney. I then hired a bunch of women attorneys who advertised on the internet they were the TOP divorced legal team for family matters. Quite frankly they gave me headaches daily and didn't accomplish anything besides enriching their purse to buy more expensive art work to adorn their fancy office. I quickly realized my mistake by not hiring Evan Wiederkehr in the first place to represent me. I had used Evan before and I knew he was a knowledgeable and shrewd attorney who would not stand down until he got his client's interest covered. My Ex and his attorney employed the same intimidation and often unethical tactic of pretending they wanted to settle so that we would not file motions in the court to expediate the proceedings. They would hold up the settlement negotiation for months knit-picking and making unreasonable demands. During the entire divorce period I had almost drained my liquid asset with paying bills and supporting myself and the kids. It was a GREAT relief to me that Evan's firm took creditcard payments which helped me stand my ground and continue my fight without worrying about my dwindling finances. Even though my Ex was delaying and attempting to financially bully me into settling on his terms which you can imagine was not very favorable to me or fair. Evan understood quite clearly the results I wanted and did his absolute best to achieve it and ensure my rights were protected. He didn't over charge me as the other attorneys did or over promise on his ability. I was enormously relieved and confident while Evan handled my case and highly recommend him to others.

I met Evan Wiederkehr in April 2011, having been cast into an unanticipated need for a divorce attorney. I had two small children at home, a full-time job, an apartment I could not afford without support, and I was operating in a fog. I was devastated. I spoke with seven attorneys prior to choosing to work with Evan, from a "shark" on Wall Street to an eccentric woman who worked out of her chaotic apartment on the UWS. From the outset, Evan was patient, genuinely caring, and, most importantly, exceeding sharp with divorce law. He understood that being with my children was priority number one. He worked tirelessly through every step of the process to assure I would remain the primary caregiver and financially be able to care for them as they deserve. He left no stone unturned. I can't count the number of times he told me to trust him, I have, and I came out on top. I was maneuvering entirely unfamiliar territory. He was ready, willing, and able to answer every question I had, even occasionally during off hours. He calmed my fears. He reassured me that I and my kids would be ok. We are. I have continued to consult Evan since my divorce was finalized. He gives me sound advice, even when it may not be what I want to hear; for that I am forever grateful. Life can take unexpected turns. You accept it, deal with it, and move on. Attorneys like Evan are there to help.

If you are looking for an extraordinary family lawyer who is effective and responsive, Evan Wiederkehr will exceed your expectations. We had a complicated custody case that involved relocation, and demanded deep knowledge of New York law. We hired a lawyer who turned out to be completely incompetent, did the bare minimum, and lied to us about when she filed in court. We still have yet to get our money back. We lost precious time. Choosing the wrong lawyer comes with a high price financially as well as impacting children’s lives. In the midst of our legal crisis, Evan was recommended to us by a fellow lawyer, a friend of his father’s. Evan quickly mastered the complexity of our case. He is bright, personable, competent, and genuinely cares about his clients. His humorous wit was an added bonus to alleviate stress during tough court hearings and negotiations. Evan made an effort to truly understand the details of our case and to represent us fairly. He gained our full trust and was always candid if he did not agree with us. Even though the respondent’s lawyers were threatening, bullying, and unprofessional, Evan maintained his professionalism speaking with distinction, force, and conviction. Evan’s interactions with judges, lawyers, parents, child advocates, and others were always first-class and authoritative. Most importantly, Evan skillfully resolved our case, and we were granted relocation for the children. We rarely give completely unqualified recommendations, but in this case, we recommend Evan Weiderkehr without reservations. He was devoted to our family, and our family is forever grateful.

As an attorney who didn't want to have a fool for a client, I retained Evan to negotiate and draft a settlement agreement between my soon-to-be-ex wife and me, rather than doing it myself. Of course, my wife had retained her own attorney, and she'd chosen someone notorious for being super-combative and difficult to deal with. My wife and I had already come to terms amicably on the major points, and I was concerned about losing that amicable tone once the attorneys got involved. To both attorneys' great credit, that didn't happen, and we sealed the deal with no rancor whatsoever. Evan did the primary drafting of the agreement and was very open to my input and edits. When my wife's attorney returned drafts of the agreement with suggested changes, Evan was adept at spotting new issues and working with me to iron them out quickly and efficiently. Mine was an easy case, but I know from experience that easy cases can spin out of control and become difficult or worse. I appreciate that Evan did everything necessary and nothing unnecessary to help an emotionally-charged situation go as smoothly as it could.

I have gone through my share of attorney's being in every court you can imagine with my ex . For the past 13 years I have been in family, civil,supreme, criminal .anywhere my EX can drag me . SO you can imagine what I have spent on attorney's ,who are mostly 90% useless and only want to make money on you and are happy when your case drags on and on. With Evan Widerkehr he is so calm cool and collective.. He sits in court and seems so calm that you think omg is he going to do anything. Then attacks like a pitbull And gets You Everything He promised... All I can say is amazing .if you are looking for a caring and amazing attorney he is your guy.. and I Have Taken Lawyers to arbitration because they were so useless. So trust me when I say amazing..
