My lawyer, friend, and big brother all in one—I have known David for 56 years.David represented my mother after my father assaulted her in 1970. At that time, husbands could beat their wives—even break their jaw—and there was little the law could do. My mother walked into Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer asking for help and was referred to a young lawyer named David Wildstein, who had only been practicing for two years.David truly wanted to help my mom, but the law in New Jersey at that time said there was nothing that could be done. I later learned that David went to his boss, Warren Wilentz, and said, “I want to help this young woman, but the law says we can’t.” Warren’s response changed everything: “Then let’s change the law.”I was only five years old when this all began, and the case went on for more than twenty years. Looking back, I realize it shaped my entire childhood. David fought to help change the law so women could be protected from abuse by their husbands.As I grew older, like many young men, I sometimes made mistakes. David was always there for me. Then, four years ago, after a 40-year marriage, I began my own divorce. David encouraged us to try everything to save the marriage—referring us to counseling multiple times over nearly ten years. When it finally became clear that it wasn’t going to work, David, the man who once helped save my mother, became my divorce attorney.Throughout the process, David treated everyone involved with respect. He had known my ex-wife for 40 years and truly didn’t want either of us to be hurt, even though he was representing me. Because of him, the divorce went smoothly and with dignity.For the past 30 years, I’ve referred many friends to David. In the past two years alone, I referred several friends going through divorces who chose other lawyers. When I asked David for advice for them, he simply said, “Have them give me a call.” He generously gave them his time, advice, and suggestions.I apologize for the length of this message, but David has been part of my life for so many years and has helped me and my family in countless ways. He has never let us down.If anyone ever needs a lawyer—not just for divorce but for any legal matter—David will guide you to the right specialist for your case. He truly cares about people and about fairness.David is truly a hero in the state of New Jersey—not only for protecting women’s rights, but also for standing up for men’s rights and, above all, for being fair, honest, and compassionate.Thank you, David.
