A lawyer with a heart and the intelligence you would expect.

I had the misfortune of facing that horrid monster named divorce and also his brother the false PFA filer. My ex filed 2 false pfa's and I had gone through two lawyers previously but could not achieve the results that I was able to achieve with Wendy. Wendy Chan has an amazing presence in the court r...oom and she reminds me of the female version of Matlock! She has an uncanny ability to expose those who get on the stand and willingly lie. How is this possible? you ask, it is because she has the tenacity to research the opponent in profundity and the integrity to make sure she does not propose anything underhanded nor dishonest. In all my dealings with lawyers I have to say Wendy has restored my faith in honesty in the court room. But aside from her honesty she simply will not be deterred from exposing the truth and I think that she GENUINELY cares about her client's position and that makes her possibly the best lawyer you could ever want to represent you in any court room. Wendy Chan just plain Rox!

worst lawyer ever!

Gave terrible advice for child custody I only hired her for short time. I lost all right to see my children from this lawyer her advice to a custody hearing fir me was not to come to hearing. I promptly fired her then and was going to go to bar association to report her. Terrible advice for someone w...ho is a lawyer. Stay clear of her if you want good results!!!

Mr. Wander: We should not forget the following facts which are public information under your docket #CI-07-06208 where the Judge indicated that the court "has serious concerns about the safety of [your] children should they be in [your] physical custody since the court heard evidence about [your] use of alcohol..." Then after a drug and alcohol evaluation, the Judge still stated that you "seemed to have a serious problem remembering any information about the incidents which happened in the past involving the police and/or alcohol which causes the court additional concern..." Then YOUR own parents had to intervene in your custody case to see your children. Lastly, you failed to appear at the last two custody conferences to fight for your children. How can you blame anyone but yourself when you did not even care enough to show up at not one but TWO separate custody conferences about your own children. Anyone can view this information on the Lancaster Prothonotary's website and determine for themselves why you lost all rights to your children. I hope you can get your life together for the sake of your poor children who have no choice but to suffer by your actions as they deserve so much more.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
