Wendy Overbaugh Hickey

Wendy Hickey of Nissenbaum Hickey was a very professional, knowledgeable and caring attorney. My husband and I had to deal with a difficult removal situation for our children (cross country move). Wendy was prepared to address every aspect including mediation and the potential hearing. Her guidance ...was unmatched in making sure that we were making the best decisions for the kids. She was efficient, and she or a member of her team were always available for guidance. Her strategy accomplished our desired outcome without spending excess time or money. My husband also used Wendy for his divorce. While this is a very difficult and emotional situation, she provided him unmatched guidance to resolve the divorce in a quick, fair manner that always put the children first.

This past year, Wendy guided me through a divorce with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Having a young son and not being familiar with the court system or even the questions to ask when confronted with needing a divorce, Wendy took the extra time to walk me through all the details, guide me ...on questions I did not even know to ask, remind me that my son's interest was the most important when I would get off track, and above was reliable, professional, and very adept at handling my ex and his crazy behaviors during a time when I needed it most. She seemed to predict and some how be one step ahead of how I was feeling, what my ex would expect, and the questions I had. She and her firm were always prompt in recognizing my communications, needs, and responding skillfully and promptly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a educated, skilled, caring, and professional divorce lawyer.

Jerry and Wendy represented me in what should have been a simple divorce. But my ex-wife and her lawyer made things very complicated. Jerry and Wendy thoroughly and clearly explained the process. So I was prepared and able to manage myself and our children throughout the elongated divorce case. They ...kept me informed about was going on. And, if I called and they were not available, they usually got back to me that day or evening. They told me what issues or concerns I need to address and those I didn’t need to spend time or money on. They were empathetic throughout this process which helped me keep perspective right up to and through a multi-day trial. They prepared me to be a good witness which made that part of the case far less stressful then it would have otherwise been for me. I appreciate their professionalism and understanding the situation. There was no pushing an agenda, no name calling. They kept things very civil and respectful at all time which aided the post-divorce environment for me and my kids.

I was extremely fortunate to have Wendy Hickey represent me during my entire divorce process. The professionalism, empathy, and knowledge that she brought to the table during this troublesome time in my life was a cornerstone in the favorable outcome that the court ordered. I can attest that my child...ren and myself are in a much better spot now because of her tireless and meticulous efforts! The office staff as well were both professional, caring, and above all else, prompt. I knew that if I called the office for any detail or question that if they were not able to provide me an answer at that moment, then a response would be forthcoming usually within the hour. Nissenbaum Hickey is truly a firm that is there for you and your children. Wendy was able to explain all the legalese to me in a coherent and consistent manner, and effectively demonstrate the strategy she used to reach our favorable outcome. Divorce is a truly personal and devastating experience to go through. If you are looking for a law firm that is genuinely empathetic, knowledgeable, and has you and your family's best interest at heart then I would strongly urge you to Nissenbaum Hickey.
