About Wendy
Biography
Wendy Walker has been litigating since 2000. She is an experienced domestic violence and family law attorney who finds it fulfilling to counsel clients through unsafe situations. She is also happy to use her background to advise and educate her domestic violence clients on divorce, child custody, child support, and marital property issues. She knows that living with, and leaving, an unsafe situation can be difficult, even traumatic, for her clients (and for their children) and she tries to help them through such times.
Before joining LANC, Wendy worked as a divorce/family lawyer for most of her career. She also has a background in litigating child abuse and neglect cases as well as elder abuse cases. If it becomes necessary to involve a child in any case, Wendy understands the importance of working with the child’s therapist and thoroughly preparing the child to testify. She is both a calming presence for her clients, helping them through stressful situations, and brings a wealth of experience advocating zealously for them in the courtroom.
Wendy obtained her law degree from UNC. She received her B.A. magna cum laude in Philosophy from UNCG and M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Rochester N.Y. She held offices in the District 17-A Bar and volunteered on several boards, including the Reidsville Area Foundation, Redirections of Rockingham County, and Kaleidoscope Child Advocacy Center.
Away from the office, Wendy enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and watching scary movies. She is also a collector of unwanted dogs.
When you contact Attorney Wendy Walker, you will find an honest and transparent lawyer who appreciates the same in her clients. No attorney can predict what a judge will do at trial, of course, but her experience gives her a realistic idea of your case's strengths and weaknesses, what are reasonable goals, and how to reach those goas. She will always give you the best advice she can.

She has no care for fathers at all !!!
Lady got me the worst custody agreement ever and lied to me point blank she doesn’t care about fathers seeing their kids
Wendy Walker
Replied last February 11, 2026Since this is an anonymous review, it’s impossible for me to speak to it. However, the reviewer says they “consulted” with me rather than they hired me. So, I’m not sure I represented them at all, much less through the final outcome. I care about my clients and their children, regardless of whether they are the father or the mother.
