Wendy Ellen Prince

No parent should ever discover after the fact that their lawyer agreed they’d never spend Christmas with their children — but that’s exactly what happened to me with Wendy Prince. I hired Wendy Prince, the owner of her firm, to represent me in my divorce and custody case involving my two children.... I trusted her to fight for me, explain the details, and protect my rights as a parent. Instead, she rushed my case to a close without fully informing me of the consequences, leaving me with weak protections that have caused years of emotional and financial damage. Here’s what went wrong: Every Christmas gone – Without my clear understanding, she agreed to give my ex every single Christmas with our children. I was never made fully aware of this before signing. No loving parent would knowingly agree to that. Minimal parenting time – She accepted a bare-minimum schedule (alternating weekends + one midweek overnight) without pushing for more equal time, despite no safety or logistical concerns. No enforcement protections – My agreement had no automatic make-up time or penalties if my ex denied visits, which has happened repeatedly. The court has given me little or nothing back each time. Weak joint custody safeguards – Years later, my ex signed both kids up for college and co-signed a student loan without telling me. The agreement had no tie-breaker rules, deadlines, or mutual consent requirements to stop unilateral decisions like this. Boilerplate holiday & vacation terms – The terms were slanted toward the other parent, limiting my vacation time and giving her control over holiday scheduling. Financial exposure – She failed to include protections for shared expenses, leaving me responsible for costly “shared” bills I never approved. Because of these omissions and poor negotiation, I’ve lost irreplaceable time with my children, endured years of stressful and expensive court battles, and been left vulnerable to financial decisions I had no say in. What I went through, and all the time I’ve lost with my children, is unforgivable. I have been completely devastated by the outcome of this case. I would never want another parent to experience what I have. If you value your relationship with your children and your financial future, I strongly recommend NOT hiring Wendy Prince or her firm.

We hired Wendy Prince to carry out a very simple mediated divorce to a mutually agreed separation. My wife and I had in fact created almost all of our arrangements ourselves, but felt it wise to hire a professional to carry us through the finer points. To be clear, we had an agreement in place - an...d then we hired Wendy Prince. We met with Prince several times and each time was like a completely different meeting. The approach to the divorce was made as confusing as it could be. There was virtually no continuity from one meeting to the next. It was clear after our second meeting commenced that Prince had forgotten everything and she said or we, her clients, said in the first meeting and she stated several times, "Oh I forgot about that..." Notes are required in the legal profession. My wife and I approached our divorce logically, with virtually no hostility, however, after beginning mediation, Wendy created hostility as my wife looked to her for guidance and my wife followed her lead because of this normally expected professional guidance. Wendy could see that the divorce was a simple one, but created hostility to churn us, her clients. The points of contention that were created that were not points of contention at all. Prince craftily created issues where issues did not exist. That was cleared up by our second mediator who was amazed at the ineptitude of the concepts Prince put on the table for us to discuss. The divorce process is in fact simple for the majority - roughly 50/50 and place credit and property where it is due. That's all you need to remember. Wendy Prince is an expert at churning her clients. I am amazed at how badly she behaved. Our second mediator did a fantastic job of creating an agreement and unfortunately, by his estimates, spent at least half of his time correcting all the misconceptions that Wendy Prince created. As they say counselor - see you in court.
