WENDY IS THE ATTORNEY TO CALL WHEN YOU NEED RESULTS

AFTER TALKING TO MANY LAWYERS WHO I COULD TELL REALLY DIDNT CARE I WAS REFFERRED TO WENDY FROM A FRIEND. AS SOON AS I SAT DOWN IN HER OFFICE I KNEW SHE WAS DIFFERENT. SHE ASKED ALL THE QUESTIONS THE OTHER LAWYERS DIDNT. I WAS ABLE TO CALL HER AT NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS WHEN MY WORRYING WAS OVERWHELMING S...HE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ME. HER FIRST CONCERN WAS NEVER MONEY IT WAS ALAWAYS ABOUT GETTING CUSTODY OF MY KIDS. SHE FOUGHT THE FALSE PFA AGAINST ME AND WE DESTROYED MY EX AND THEIR FALSE ALLEGATIONS. SHE WAS A LION IN THE COURTROOM AND WE WON. WENDY CONTINUES TO KEEP IN TOUCH SHE REALLY DOES CARE. OTHER LAWYERS SHOULD TAKE LESSONS FROM WENDY SHE IS BEYOND EXCELLENT.

Wendy is truly an angel. She saved me when I gave up all hope

I was mistreated by too many lawyers who only wanted my money. They did not understand that I am a parent who loves and needs my children. After being pushed around by the courts and useless attorneys I gave up all hope of being a part of my childrens lives. A friend from church reccomended Wendy. Th...ey had told me she was different and would go above and beyond any other lawyer, I was not sure but I gave her a call. Being a mother herself she really does understand. She did not care about my money first she cared about me..She fought hard and we won. WE WON! Wendy charged me a fraction of what other lawyers did and she did so much more. When I had truly given up all hope I was led to Wendy and she truly is an ANGEL.

THE ONLY ATTORNEY I WILL EVER USE

WENDY TRULY CARED FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. SHE WAS DIRECT TO THE POINT AND DID NOT DRAG THINGS OUT SO SHE COULD CHARGE MORE LIKE MOST ATTORNEYS. SHE LISTENED, SHE CARES, AND i NOW HAVE FULL CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN. i NEVER THOUGHT WE COULD WIN BUT SHE DID IT. THANK YOU AGAIN WENDY

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."

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.

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.
