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.

Custody

Wendy and her team are the epitome of consummate professionals who work diligently and strategically for their clients. They pay attention to the slightest details and keep you updated every step of the way. I had a difficult custody case dealing with my daughter’s mother in Nicaragua, but Wendy eage...rly accepted the challenge, and I was awarded custody. I previously hired another attorney prior to Wendy with no success, but Wendy, hit the ground running with immediate progress. She values your time and works efficiently to get results. If it wasn’t for Wendy, I would still be in a custody battle.

The best!

Wendy Chan is the best! She helped me with two separate issues that had my family and I in a world of stress. Wendy's paralegal Lori was awesome throughout the process she  always took time to answer any questions I had and she always called back or responded via email. The communication was outstand...ing because knowing how the work load can be they made me feel as if I were their only client. With the paternity fraud case I contacted alot of different attorneys and I was told literally good luck your chances are slim to none. So right before I gave up, I contacted Wendy and when i explained the details she spoke with confidence and that drew me to choose her because many other attorneys were not sure or just gave up without even trying. So with the paternity fraud and the child custody case life was a bit stressful and an emotional roller coaster, but both Wendy and Lori made the legal side of it so much easier to deal with and actually made me feel comfortable being that it was a touchy situation for all of us. I would strongly recomend Wendy to all my friends and family, and to those who are looking for a knowledgeable confident aggressive attorney with the childs best interest in mind.

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....
