“I cannot thank W&G enough! Their hard work and dedication to their clients cannot be undone. For someone like me who had never dealt with a legal matter in her life, my attorney Shana Paula was very patient with me and helped me understand everything I needed to do. She was truly an ally. Whenever she was unavailable she still made sure I had another partner working with me (Jake) who was just as patient. I highly recommend this law firm for anyone facing a family civil matter for the first time, you will not be disappointed. They truly care.”
