This woman and her team is absolutely AMAZING

I am a current client and have been going thru a very tumultuous and agonizing divorce for the last 2 years. Wendy and her team have NEVER let me down. They work with me and help me day and night. Oftentimes I am in tears wondering how I will survive and pay for all of this, and Wendy and her team is... always there. I currently live out of state, yet somehow she and her team manage to keep things afloat. I am ever so grateful to all of them and I look forward to the day that my divorce is finally over.

Integrity That You Won't Easily Find

By the time I found Wendy Chan, I was already 18 months into my very contentious and complex divorce situation. My previous attorney had fed me false hope and unrealistic timelines. I was billed for every little thing, including unnecessary enclosure letters. I pulled the plug well into my divorce... process and took a leap of faith with Wendy. Right from the moment of the initial consultation, Attorney Chan gave me straight talk. She drew upon her vast experience litigating divorce matters in Lancaster County and her knowledge of the court officials and opposing counsel. She advised me where the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, something a lot of the other divorce attorneys in Lancaster County won’t do as they are only interested in separating you from your money. Wendy and her incredible paralegals April and Lori fought hard for me – literally day and night. I was not simply a client for them, but a cause. They had genuine concern about my difficult situation and were personally invested in the outcome of my case. Wendy and her team have plenty of clients. That means they don’t need to create work out of thin air. They don’t waste time on unnecessary correspondence or cover letters. With this team, my multifaceted case was litigated efficiently and effectively. Yet, they are responsive to the point to where you feel like you are their only client. What was the final outcome? Something I didn’t think possible. We were delivered a massive victory on a certain matter which is what likely drew the other party into settlement, something they had previously refused. Then the Chan team opened their office on a day it was closed so that I could meet a necessary deadline on having the document signed and notarized. If you searching for an attorney, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Wendy Chan.

Amazing!

She worked on my immigration fraud and divorce case and did amazing! I was going in expecting to have to pay something, ended up not owing a penny forever and getting $10k. Would highly recommend her to anyone for immigration or divorce!

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.

Fantastic divorce attorney!

Even though I live in York County, and she is in Lancaster County, Wendy has fought hard for me. My ex-husband's lawyer made us jump through many hoops and dodge a lot of BS!! Wendy is calm, cool, collected and knowledgeable! I hope I don't need any services in the future, but if I do, Wendy Chan wi...ll be my first call!

  • 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.
