Client Reviews
"Fast and professional, thanks!"
"I came prepared with more general legal knowledge than the average consumer client, but ignorant of the legal area I needed help with. Seth brought the knowledge and experience I needed to help me choose how to proceed, without trying to do what I knew how to do. He was flexible in working with me as both of our schedules changed. He understood that I was working on a budget and acted accordingly. I'd gladly work with Seth again as this particular action evolves."
"Mr. Wiener has guided me through a situation of mine and so far the outcome looks promising. I'm relieved to have found an attorney to take care of my needs."
"Fast, knowledgable and helpful, thanks!"
"Seth is very proactive and look deeply into the issue and provide appropriate suggestions. I recommend him to anyone."
