A responsive and caring professional

I have worked closely with Wendy in the past and have referred several people to her who need her specialized legal knowledge and skill. She has consistently given her time and attention to their problems and is an enthusiastic advocate. I recommend Wendy as an attorney who would give a client honest..., straightforward legal advice in plain language. She has worked hard to get where she is and nothing was handed to her. I have great respect for Wendy and recommend her often as a divorce and custody attorney in the Lancaster area.

Well worth the cost

I hired Wendy to deal with my child custody case. My ex had a DUI and a history of alcohol abuse and bad decisions. It easily could have been dismissed by the Judge, but she took the time to present a case for supervised visitation and got it. She was amazing, and if I ever need to use an attorney ag...ain, I would most certainly call Wendy.

I OWE EVERYTHING TO WENDY CHAN

My wife filed a false PFA against me and I was forced out of my own home. I could not contact my children and I was homeless, even though I have never missed a day of work. My world was turned upside down. I went to a few different attorneys who did not seem to really have the time or really care. Th...ey wanted my money right away though. A fathers rights organization reccomended Wendy Chan and said she was the best, out of desperation I tried Wendy. When I met Wendy she was friendly and too the point. She cared about the facts and helping me get my life back together, money was not her focus like it was with all the others. We went to court she fought hard and I cannot believe it but we won. The false PFA was removed and I got to see my children. Wendy helped me regain my life and my children. I owe everything to Wendy Chan. When I speak to other parents with similar problems no one can believe all that Wendy has done for me and the amount she charged. She did so much more and charged so much less. When you are falsely accused or have given up hope. Do not. Callendy because she is always willing to help.

Excellent / Exceptional Family Law Attorney

Mrs. Chan is a REMARKABLE attorney. She is hands down, the BEST attorney if you are a FATHER seeking more than the 18% of time most attorneys get men. She has a passion for Family Law that far exceeds the several other attorneys I have come across in this realm. Mrs. Chan's desires to get EQUAL cu...stody and promote Fathers being involved in their children's life unequivocally surpasses the most "experienced" attorneys in the field. She is honest, caring, trustworthy, and sincerely cares about building a family for your and your child(ren) even though you are going through the process of separation or divorce. I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Chan, and as a matter of fact, can not think of anyone else in her league to recommend when it comes to Family Law matters. If you want to spend time with your child, you can't go wrong hiring her. She understands the importance of litigation, is always prepared for court, conducts herself professionally and will not sell you out behind closed doors as other attorneys have done to me. She is not afraid to challenge the "system" and relentlessly pursues custody of your child so that you can remain in your child's life and be there for them more than 1 night a week and every other weekend. If you do not have an attorney, HIRE her, and if you do have an attorney, FIRE the one you have and obtain her. I got burned by someone who claimed to be a "Father's Rights" attorney only to have Mrs. Chan clean up the mess I was left with. In all reality, if it weren't for her...my 20 month old daughter would be calling someone else "daddy."
