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.

The best Attorney I have ever worked with

I have worked with many attorneys but Wendy is hands down the best! She worked hard and pushed relentlessly until we won. Never did she give up or stop fighting. When winning is the only option Wendy is the only attorney I would trust.

The Best!

I will never go to any other attorney after working with Wendy Chan. Wendy was ferocious she never gave up and everything I gave up on she never did. I am more than please with the outcome of our legal battles and I will only work with Wendy in the future. When the chips are down I know I can count o...n Wendy to fight my battle as if it was her own.

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.
