Lacking

Wendy is a very nice and thoughtful lawyer. The problem is that she does not have the back of the office support and time to individualize the needs of her clients. During my time as her client several very important deadlines and commitments were missed due to errors from her office. I even missed a... court hearing once because she was on vacation and her office missed the appropriate paperwork. I am sure she is competent in most matters but if your case goes beyond something simple I would highly advise seeking legal counsel elsewhere.

Rob - I cannot believe you are still upset that I refused to continue working with you. Why don't you tell the truth about why I am no longer representing you and the fact we did NOT miss any deadlines or commitments. So instead of blaming me for your mistakes, I see that now you are trying to blame my staff??? Even for you missing your own court hearing??? I direct your attention to my email to you dated August 16, 2022 at 7:25pm, second to last sentence in the first paragraph. Keep publishing lies about me or my staff and I will have no choice but to respond with even more of the truth.

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.
