Ms. Satin handled my divorce case and I was very happy with her work

I would recommend Ms. Satin, enthusiastically. She handled my divorce case for me and I feel like she was very, very good. She was busy, but I guess any good lawyer is. I wouldn't want a lawyer who had no other cases so I can't really complain about that. My ex had one of those lawyers who put on... quite a show, for him, but Ms. Satin was able to cut through all of that and just address that which needed to be and I am sure she kept my case from becoming the complete nightmare that some of my friend's cases have been. It was not "fun" but she was very good and I was very happy with her handling of my case.

Highly recommend Ms. Satin and her firm

Mine was a long, difficult, complex, (but I am sure not “special”) divorce case… Wendy Satin represented me and I was very happy with her work. Her, her firm and her law Partner Bill Planta were very good. I would definitely recommend. Glad it’s over but they were very good.

Well Done, Great Job ....

I retained Wendy for my divorce case. I was terrified as I have had friends go through this and they ended up in massive debt with horrible case outcomes. Wendy was excellent...very effective and focused on the best strategy for the best possible outcome for me, not her billing.... She showed me h...ow the best strategy rarely involves the overly aggressive and bombastic theatrics seen on TV which really just deplete the Client's finances and achieve no better results. I was very happy with her style, knowledge, strategy and the final outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone needed legal representation by an honest and very capable professional.

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.
