This Might Be The Most Important Decision You've Ever Made

Stop and read this. If you are currently looking for an attorney to represent you in a child custody matter, please read my experience with Wendy Chan. We finally just found the end of a long, strenuous custody dispute that settled prior to trial with EXACTLY what I asked for in the beginning! When I... first came to Wendy, I was an emotional wreck. As a father, I felt like the underdog but Wendy assured me I would get the fair shake I wanted. She was patient with me...VERY patient. I know that I wasn't the easiest client. I often expected her to treat me like her only client, and although I wasn't, she usually made me feel that way. She was honest, upfront, and set reasonable expectations and a promise to fight for it. She did, and in the end, for all of us, what really matters is the result. I got exactly that. EXACTLY the end result that I wanted from the first day I stepped into her office. I didn't have to compromise one bit in a direction I knew wasn't best for my daughter. I am not affiliated with Wendy Chan in anyway, writing this does nothing for me. I am writing it because it's the least I can do as part of my thank you to her. Both from me and my daughter. Honestly, if you are a parent in a situation like mine, choosing the right attorney may be the most important one of your life. More importantly, it could be the most important decision you make for your childs life. I couldn't be happier about the decision I made to go with Wendy.

Very pleased with Wendy Chan

Wendy is the ultimate professional. We retained Wendy's services when we had a family custody matter to be handled. We were very pleased with Wendy's attention to detail and the way she kept us up to date with the proceedings going on. We would definitely hire Wendy again to handle any family matters....

Thank you so much!

For my custody case, the opposing attorney played the dirty game where he tried to make me out to be a badguy. I specifically did not want to be mean to my ex-wife, and Wendy's style isn't like that anyway. She was a fantastic and skilled negotiator and she got me exactly what I was asking for- which... is a lot more time with my son! <3 Thank you!!

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.

  • 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.
