Over "Two Decades" of Experience!

The firm’s slogan “Balancing the Scales of Justice for All” indicates a core value of increasing convenient access to the law for everyone. We don’t get confused, we just get legal.

Affordable legal services for your big or small business, family, and personal needs.

We have over two decades of experience and are committed to protecting you the client who is our main focus. At Wollnik and Associates Inc law firm, we take cases to court with an eye for victory:

 Because no opponent is too big, and no case is too small

 We defend your peace of mind

With that goal in mind, we have developed four pillars to which we adhere when providing our legal services.

RELATIONSHIP-BASED

We recognize that a close working relationship between attorney and client is essential to a successful outcome. Our firm’s size and composition enable us to offer the personalized services necessary for serving each client’s unique needs.

That means that no question you might ask is too silly or irrelevant.

 We want you to call when you have questions.

 We want you to call us if there is anything you need to be clarified.

 We are in the relationship business – we want to hear from you about anything that may be on your mind regarding this. That way, you will have the “peace of mind” necessary for you to be able to focus on your recovery.

IT’S PERSONAL

We never forget that your needs are a priority. That knowledge forms the foundation for our “client first” approach to helping resolve the problem you are faced with.

The first thing we do is make sure that all proper information has been obtained to pursue any matter. We will guide you through the process. We want to make sure that you are never re-victimized by the legal system.

ETHICAL

We adhere to a high level of ethics and integrity, both personally and professionally. Those ethics are kept at the forefront of our minds as we work with our clients. We are fully committed to serving you with a good outcome in mind.

REPUTATION

In our increasingly litigious society, having an attorney with a reputation for honesty and trustworthiness can help get your voice heard. We emphasize practical, reasoned advice. When formal litigation or other dispute-resolution proceedings are necessary, we provide aggressive, high-caliber advocacy.

Our rates are competitive and, since we are knowledgeable and skilled in legal practice, we can deliver cost-effective legal services. We pay a high level of attention to developing and maintaining a personal and professional relationship with our clients so that our past clients will always turn to us for any other legal needs that may arise for them in the future.

Our past clients are our source for the vast majority of new cases that are referred to us.

We believe that is the highest compliment that a law firm can receive.

We are grateful for the opportunity to both represent and serve the community in which we live and work.

Do things right the first time – call us:

When success depends on your reputation and legal counsel, you need a lawyer you can trust. We’re the attorneys who fight for or defend your rights and freedoms.

Protecting your interests, preserving relationships.

We aspire to form business relationships built on a strong foundation of mutual trust to the benefit of all parties. Advocacy is not our service, it’s our passion. We are committed to protecting what matters to you. Preserving relationships are the foundation of our success coupled with protecting your interests, and fostering relationships through effective communication.

Benefits of Hiring an Attorney.

While each person's legal situation is different, there are times when you really should hire an attorney.

Below are the top nine reasons.

 The law is complicated. A solid case can quickly unravel without the help of a trained and emotionally detached attorney. Similarly, failing to hire a lawyer when starting a business, reviewing a contract, or embarking on other endeavors with potential legal ramifications can result in otherwise avoidable pitfalls.

 Not having a lawyer may cost you more. What is at stake? A criminal case may determine whether you spend time behind bars, while a civil case could hurt you financially. You may be able to recover some legal fees if you are successful in the case.

 Lawyers know how to challenge (and sometimes suppress) evidence. You may not even know that a key piece of evidence against you was improperly obtained or that the testimony of a witness contradicts an earlier statement. And did the crime lab properly handle the evidence every step of the way? Your attorney will find out.

 Attorneys understand how to properly file court documents and handle other legal procedures. If you're not an attorney, you may struggle with the deadlines and protocol for properly filling out and filing certain legal documents. One late or incorrect filing could derail your case, delay a given legal procedure, or worse - have the case thrown out altogether (and not in your favor).

 Because you don't know any expert witnesses or private detectives. Attorneys depend on an extended network of professionals to help their clients' cases. Most non-attorneys do not personally know the types of professionals who can help with discovery or challenge evidence or testimony by the opposing party.

 You're not sure how to plead -- or what a 'pleading' is? Pleading guilty is not the only choice, even if there is evidence pointing directly at you. An attorney who understands the law will be best situated to explain your options and can help you avoid potentially severe penalties even before a criminal trial begins.

 Because it is probably better to avoid problems in the first place rather than try to fix them once they arise. You may have heard the saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?" Well, hiring a lawyer in many instances will help you avoid potential legal headaches down the road. Do you understand the fine print of the contract you are signing? A lawyer will.

 A good lawyer can strike up a good settlement offer or plea bargain, if necessary. An experienced lawyer probably has seen cases similar to yours or at least knows enough to make a calculated guess about how it might resolve at trial. Sometimes a settlement is the best choice, while other times it makes more sense to see your case through to trial. An attorney also can help negotiate a fair settlement with the opposing party.

 The other party has legal representation. Non-attorneys are generally at a disadvantage when squaring off against opposing counsel or doing business with another party that has legal counsel. As explained above, the law is complicated and an attorney representing your adversary (or even a non-adversarial party entering into a legal agreement with you) will take advantage of this inequity.
