The Law Offices of Werno & Associates

Very honest and knowledgeable attorney. He talked to me over the phone and educated me on how things most probably will go regarding a divorce/​custody issue. Will definitely hire him if I to proceed.

A friend recommended Don Werno to help us through a legal problem involving our dogs. First of all, he answered his phone when we called, which if you’ve spent time trying to get ahold of a lawyer you know is a significant issue. Most importantly, though, Don was clear, to the point, knowledgeable and down to earth. He told us the truth, not what he thought we wanted to hear. He’s a credit to his profession, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again if I needed help. If you want answers, straightforward and reasonable ones, call him. If you want to wait for a callback that may never come, call someone else.

Going through a divorce is a very emotionally painful experience, especially if kids are involved. I’m in the law enforcement profession and I have seen my share of shady attorney’s. Not in this case, Don is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL WITH GREAT SKILLS, GREAT INSIGHTS, AND MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. Don helped get me through a really rough time in my life. I highly recommend Don and I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me and my kids.

I could not have done it without Don and his staff. It’s never easy when you need an attorney but they made the entire process very understandable. What stuck out in my mind was how thoughtful and considerate Don is. I didn’t feel that it was about the money. I believe he cares. Yes, I would call Don Werno again.

Don was knowledgeable and informative. He gave our start up the direction we were seeking in a time efficient manner. Highly recommended!

I retained Don for a child custody case I was/​still am going through.
Going to court for a matter that can’t be resolved between 2 adults is like the grown up version of 2 kids fighting in the sandbox. Each side has their own story to tell and each side believes they are right. Because Don has an extensive background in psychology, he understands the reasons why people do what they do especially in complex situations where kids are involved. He does a great job in clearly articulating the reasons for some of the actions of the other party which helped put me at ease during tense situations of my case.
My case was not typical in the least and Don did not try to snow me with things I only wanted to hear, but was very direct and honest and told me what I needed to hear. He was not afraid to tell me the opposing counsel we were up against was a damn great one. He was not afraid to tell me the chance of winning my case outright was not great. What he did tell me however and what he ultimately delivered was that his team would do everything possible to fight for my rights as a father and would go to battle with a heavily stacked arsenal and a concise strategy.
Don’s understands the law very well. If he does not know the specific area of the law that your case may delve into, he will ask a specialist in that field to get an answer. For example, Don was able to refer me to a specialist in the field of child custody who taught me how I should behave during my mediation session, as all custody hearings by law are required to attend. I was definitely well prepared in each step of my case and there were no surprises that came my way, which is not something I can say for the other party I was up against.
To simply put it, Don and his team are very genuine, hard-​working people. He has a firm grasp of the law, can dive into the psyche of people and their emotions, and is very passionate about what he does. He is not some low life attorney out there to make a quick buck but instead treats people with respect and lives by a code based on integrity.
As for my case, with Don’s guidance, I was able to come to a settlement outside of court with something I am very satisfied with. All is quiet in the sandbox for now. Whenever another dustup in the sandbox occurs, I know exactly who I will be calling.

After running into a legal issue, and feeling like I had nowhere to turn, a friend recommended Mr. Werno. Contacting him was the best thing I ever did! Legal issues can be very scary and intimidating, but not only did Mr. Werno take the time to listen to my entire issue, he also walked me through the whole process, explaining legal terms in a way I could understand. He was very professional, honest, informative, and eased my fears. He handled the whole issue from start to finish, always called me back quickly to answer my many questions, and gave me solid guidance. He resolved my issue, and I truly knew I had someone on my side the whole time. He is truly a life-​saver and if I ever need an attorney again, I would go back to him in a heartbeat.

I contacted Don Werno to assist me in enforcing my divorce settlements. He was very helpful in giving me various options on how to handle the situation. He was honest and advised me to go to the courts myself instead of charging me for unnecessary retainment of his services. I appreciate all his advice and trying to strategize the best way to handle in my favor.

Highly Recommend ! Don provided legal help to me and my company on several legal matters. The outcomes were excellent in each case. Don provided great legal strategies and implementation. He prescribed the appropriate responses to each matter. Don made me feel very comfortable in making decisions with his advise. In addition, he has a great sense of humor. We will continue to use Werno & Associates services in the future. Feel free to contact me at
