Firm Overview

Nearly 70 years ago, the law firm of Coen Wexler and Wentz was founded with the philosophy that our lawyers would strive to create successful, long-term personal relationships with clients and to be good, active citizens in our communities.

We continue to enjoy the client relationships nurtured when we began serving our community in 1938. Our steady growth reflects our clients' satisfaction with our performance and allows us to attract and retain knowledgeable attorneys.

Our Experience.

The firm has worked very hard to attain and retain the Distinguished Very High "BV" Rating awarded by Martindale-Hubbell for legal ability and ethical standards. This rating is awarded based on the results of an extensive confidential review conducted by the legal profession to confirm the status of a highly respected, ethical membership of the Bar Association.

Our Technology.

During the past few years, advances in technology have presented major opportunities for improved cost-efficiency in the law office. Networking provides a central service for all word processing documents, thus eliminating unnecessary duplicating efforts.
