Selecting Wayne Effron as my attorney was the best decision I could have made.

From the initiation of my divorce, through a complicated and contentious discovery and pre-trial process, a lengthy trial and numerous post-trial and post-judgment proceedings, Wayne was singularly and steadfastly committed to getting the best possible outcome for me. I was extremely satisfied not only with the final judgment, but also with the way Wayne and his associates and staff worked with me and managed my case at all times. Wayne provided clear and detailed answers and explanations to any and all questions and did an excellent job preparing me for all proceedings and testimony. Despite many years of practice, Wayne recognizes that each divorce and each client is unique and he was always respectful of and responsive to my particular concerns and objectives. I genuinely do not know anyone who works harder or is more committed to doing his absolute best for his clients than Wayne Effron.

Wayne Effron speaks with precision while his honesty is refreshing. Wayne's direct clarity splices through fluff while fearless honesty enables the client to focus on strategy rather than the pain one feels from divorce. He is an experienced pilot flying through rough weather. My advice to clients is to accept Wayne's navigating skills, let go, and turn the process over to his perfectionism. A client's ex-spouse might find Wayne agonizing.
Mr. Effron did a very thorough and amiable job on my divorce case. He was very thoughtful throughout the process and made himself available when needed. The actual Divorce Decree is considered, by my peers, to be very generous. His knowledge of all aspects was as clear to me, as it seemed to be to the Judge. The Judge granted the divorce after 10 minutes due to the level of competency, on Mr. Effron's behalf. I think the best compliment came from my ex-husband who said, "I think that you had the better lawyer!
