Renee is compassionate, caring, level headed, determined and gets the job done with grace.
I would absolutely return to her for any legal needs. I have already recommended her to friends seeking an attorney. She was a gem to find during a very difficult time.

Renée possesses a rare combination of compassion and grit. She is a fantastic attorney, and I would heartily recommend her to anyone needing counsel in the area of family law.

Renee knows how to get the difficult job of divorce done with compassion, confidence, warmth and humor---and it turns out that I needed a lawyer with these qualities during a time when I was struggling to possess them myself. She’s incredibly quick, highly responsive, and fair with billing to boot. I recommend Renee wholeheartedly!

I can't tell you how much I owe Renee Witstien. I called her out of the blue from another state (not MA), not knowing anything about her. I just found her in the phonebook (as they used to say). It was one of the luckiest things I ever did. She listened to my story sympathetically, gave me excellent advice about what to do, and went right to work. I was really lost. Honestly, I felt helpless. But Renee was always there with an encouraging word and, more importantly, a plan. She made me feel like I was not alone. Long story short, she saved my bacon. I am very grateful to her to this day and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. If you need a family lawyer, she's the one I'd call!

Renee is wonderful to work with. I don't want to say "pitbull" because that suggests a brutishness, which is not the case, but it does accurately represent her competence, clarity and approach. I felt supported, understood, and also well managed. I hope you don't need her (unless it's something lovely like an adoption) but if you do, you'll be so glad you have her!

Renee was our MA attorney when we adopted our baby boy in 2016. She was wonderful to deal with and made our adoption process go as smoothly as possible. She is on top of things, is an expert on the legal process of adoption, and collaborated well with the attorney in the adoptive baby’s state. We feel so fortunate that we had Renee work with us.

I could not have navigated my difficult divorce with out Renee. She was supportive, reassuring, direct when necessary, and had my best outcome at the forefront. When I waffled, she reminded me of issues I was not emotionally able to think through. Highly recommend!!

Renee was a life saver for me! She helped me through a difficult divorce quickly and professionally. I highly recommend her for any legal matters you may have.

Renee was extremely helpful in helping me navigate my divorce. She was always upbeat with a sense of humor, patient, yet available at any time with guidance and support.

Excellent Attorney and a wonderful Lady.

Renee really listened to me. She got a complete understanding of my case, which she was able to lay out clearly for the judge. She adeptly called out and disproved the BS, and effectively exposed the vindictive and manipulative behavior. Thanks to Renee, the judge was FINALLY able to see me for who I am. It was absolutely life changing!!!
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you, Renee!!!

Renee was amazing to work with you can tell the amount of care and time she puts into finding the facts and fighting for what’s right. Though far from over unfortunately, I trust that she has the best interest for my children and as a father my rights to be a parent. Truly goes above and beyond to make things right and fight for family’s to be together.

Renee's skill, knowledge and compassion helped me through what continues to be one of the most difficult times of my life. I could not have gotten through this without her. Although, the divorce is over I still have lingering questions and Renee continues to be immediately available and supportive. She has always responded to my questions and concerns throughout this process quickly and thoroughly. She is empathetic, compassionate funny and also firm when needed. I could not recommend her more.

I highly recommend Renee for all matters in family law. She helped me renegotiate my child support agreement with my ex and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I'm just on the other side of a contentious and angry divorce, that took 1 1/2 years to sort out. Renee was instrumental not only in keeping me sane during all of this, but also in making absolutely sure that my best interests were maintained in the settlement. When I was liable to just throw up my hands and say "oh screw it, I don't care!" Renee would say "I do: let's think about what you'll have to live on in 5 or 10 or 25 years." She had my back, and she spoke up for my needs again and again.

Renee is a sharp, seasoned, emotionally intelligent, generous and kind attorney. She skillfully guided me through the very difficult process of divorce, step by step, helping me to take back control of my life and finances. I had met with other attorneys prior to Renee and they might have known their work, but Renee also offered the emotional support I needed. I always felt as though I could rely on her support at all times. She had my back! Questions were answered speedily and with a particular confidence and even humor. Highly recommend!

Renee was instrumental in securing me the best possible outcome with my divorce settlement. Anyone looking for an attorney who has only your best interests at heart should choose Renee!

Renee was so incredibly helpful at such a difficult time in my life. She was extremely professional, compassionate, and full of humor and lots of laughs. I'd recommend her to anyone!

From the first day I spoke with Renee on the phone until our final day in court, Renee demonstrated such compassion and understanding for my situation. Her knowledge of the law and ability to navigate the challenges, that seemed to occur constantly, was flawless. Her intuition in how to respond to my struggles felt like a trained psychologist. She always gave me the time and sincere attention when I was completely overwhelmed and asking the same questions multiple times. She not only looked out for me, she also supported and cared for my children’s emotional well-being, financial, and academic goals. She even was able to work in such a professional, confident, and productive manner when dealing with my Ex's attorney. I highly recommend Renee without any reservation! She will be the positive factor during a time of overwhelming stress.

Renee Wetstein first and foremost is an excellent attorney who is well established in the area she practices. She was a constant source of support through a very difficult and emotionally charged matter. She is very bright, compassionate, straightforward, honest, super responsive and elevated the entire process by constantly being laser focused on both the children's best interests and a fair and equitable resolution.

Renee guided me through my divorce with the combination of qualities I needed in an attorney: Fierce intelligence, empathy and protective endurance. Last, but not least, Renee's upbeat demeanor and radiant smile, under all circumstances, was what got me through a very trying time. While there is so much loss when it comes to going through a divorce, I count Renee Wetstein as one of my gains; I couldn't have gotten through it without her.

As harrowing as the divorce experience has been, choosing the right attorney to work with made a huge difference in managing the stress and uncertainty. I had vetted a number of potential attorneys and, when divorce became inevitable, Renee was the one I instantly remembered. She listened, assessed the situation, and dove right into outlining strategy that was in the best interest of my kids and me. As a father, I was concerned about potential systemic bias, but that never became an issue. Renee is smart, tough and practical with no b.s. and a good sense of humor in the midst of an emotionally exhausting experience. She was always readily available and responsive to my questions – and the occasional panic attack. Since she obviously knew my entire financial situation, I also appreciated that Renee was striving for not only the most positive, practical resolution but also the most efficient in terms of time and expense. I recommend her without reservation.

Renee was a great help to me during a difficult time. She helped work out a divorce agreement that protected my kids and my business, and was respectful to my ex-wife. I highly recommend Renee.

Renee represented me in my recent divorce. I did not want a divorce and was completely overwhelmed by what was happening. Renee made sure that my children and I were well provided for. She was a huge support, both legally and emotionally during this difficult time. I felt much stronger with her by my side! I was able to maintain the lifestyle that my children and I had before the divorce and that was my goal. I would recommend Renee without hesitation to anyone seeking legal representation. I'm not sure where I would be without her!

Renee played a critical role in finalizing the adoption of our two children. She is professional, pleasant to work with and most importantly her heart is in the right place! She helped bring our family together and put our minds at ease. While adoption can be extremely emotional on many levels, she made the legal process as easy as possible. She is a real saint and we are forever grateful for her!

Acadia Adoption Center in Maine has worked with Renee Wetstein on many adoptions and she is amazing to partner with. She has represented both birth parents and adopting parents, and is able to share about the process in a way that puts everyone at ease. Every state’s laws and procedures vary significantly with adoptions, and Renee is always kind, respectful, and knowledgeable in every aspect of adoption law.
If an unexpected challenge or perceived obstacle comes up, she is right there (to roll up her own sleeves) and does whatever needs to be done to find a solid resolution.

Renee represented myself and my daughters during the most difficult time in our lives. She did so with grace and dignity and applied strength and knowledge when the situation warranted. I never felt alone and could reach out at any time and get a prompt response from her when I had difficulty navigating a situation. I am so very grateful Renee was the person who represented us.

Renee Wetstein was the light that led me and my children out of the overwhelming and emotional turmoil of a long divorce. Having known Renee for over 20 years and very aware of her vast experience in Family Law, I knew I was in good hands. Renee is savvy, compassionate and a skilled negotiator. She shows up well prepared. I highly recommend Attorney Wetstein for your Family Law needs.

Renee is a no nonsense lawyer with a great reputation. She will help navigate through tough times in a level headed way.
