Practice Areas
Criminal Defense
Attorney Wenger’s prosecution history gives his criminal defense practice a specific advantage: he has tried cases involving murder, crimes against children, drugs, guns, and rape charges. He knows how prosecutors build those cases, what evidence they rely on, and where the weaknesses in a prosecution strategy can be found. That prosecutorial knowledge translates directly into defense strategy for clients facing drug crimes, DUI charges, gun charges, sexual offenses, theft, and traffic violations, as well as major felonies and misdemeanors at every level of the Pennsylvania court system.
DUI Defense
DUI cases in Pennsylvania carry significant license and employment consequences alongside criminal penalties. Attorney Wenger handles DUI defense with the same methodical approach applied to more serious criminal matters, analyzing the traffic stop, the field sobriety procedures, and the chemical testing protocols for procedural and substantive weaknesses that can affect the outcome.
Family Law and Child Custody
Attorney Wenger serves as a court-appointed Guardian Ad Litem, which means Pennsylvania courts have certified him to represent children’s interests in custody proceedings. His family law practice covers child custody disputes, custody modifications, divorce proceedings, domestic violence charges, and protection from abuse orders. He handles high-conflict custody matters and co-parenting disputes, approaching these cases with both the legal knowledge and the human awareness that emotionally complex family situations require.
Grandparents’ Rights
Grandparents facing separation from grandchildren due to custody disputes, parental death, or family breakdown have legal options that are frequently underutilized. Attorney Wenger handles grandparents’ rights cases throughout Beaver and Butler Counties, pursuing legal avenues that protect grandparent-grandchild relationships when those relationships serve the child’s best interests.
