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!!

Simply the best family law lawyer ! Wendy Chan

Wendy Chan really cares about her clients. She keeps you informed and up to date on the legal process as it progresses. I have seen her do her best at every court hearing and conference. You can trust she is fighting for your rights and your children's rights. She is a very knowledgeable and explai...ns things to you in way you understand. Wendy is frank/honest, which is very refreshing to a seasoned client with prior representation with different experiences elsewhere.

When you have to win Wendy is who you need!

Wendy fought for me like it was life or death for her. I was shocked at how hard she fought and how hard she worked. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.

  • 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.
