Wendy Arlene Hausmann

Wendy is the most efficient lawyer I ever had the pleasure or shall I say need to deal with. I was referred to her by a friend, and was lucky enough to get her to take on this simple ( which turned out to be not so simple) divorce. She keeps you up to date on everything, don't have to call her, she ...calls you as everything happens. I feel she always has your best interest at heart, and if anyone ever needed a family law attorney she would be the one. Not only is she fair but she is truly kind. I am over 70 and want what is best for my grandson, I came to the right person, and recommend her highly.

I was referred to Wendy by a former Family Case manager at the South Palm Beach County Courthouse. After speaking to Wendy for only a few minutes, I was convinced of her genuine interest in winning my case. We both knew it would be an uphill battle, given unwritten prejudices towards men, but she ...was confident we would win. And win we did. I'm not going to say my case was a "slam dunk" from the start, but in the final analysis, but for Wendy being in my corner, and the support of my family, I would have not prevailed. Here's a brief history of my case. Around December 2009 I decided to seek a modification of my child support obligation, in light of child care payments that were included in the amount I was paying, which were not being made. I started doing this pro-se. During our initial meeting, I discussed, in detail, the history of my case with Wendy. We went to Mediation, but settling with my ex-wife, especially in matters of child support, was as impossible as the infamous "camel through the eye of a needle" story. After the mediation, Wendy suggested we didn't limit the modification to a reduction of child support. Instead, she advised we should also petition for a modification of primary residence, a/k/a custody. In February, 2010, we filed the petition. Long story short, after 9 months of what seemed to be monthly trips to the courthouse, on February 4, 2011, the Magistrate's Report and Recommendation modifying my daughter's primary residence from my ex-wife's to mine, was approved and adopted by the Court. By that time, and again thanks to Wendy, my daughter had already been living with me for a period of 8 months. It goes without saying that Wendy was an intricate part of that victory, not only by being a strong, knowledgeable, and sharp lawyer, but also by being a true advocate of justice and by making herself available, even on weekends, to fax key orders to law enforcement, so that justice for my daughter would prevail at all times. I'm not going to take much credit for this victory because I just persevered enough to win in Court and that was just the ticket to Victory. The credit, by and large, belongs to my wife and my step-children, who despite of not being blood relatives to my daughter, have truly become her family and a rock upon which my daughter has found strength and salvation. Of course, it's axiomatic that credit is also due, and in no small part, to my lawyer, Wendy Hausmann, for seeing the path to victory through the proverbial "fog of war."
