Wendy is THE BEST at what she does!

Getting divorced is an intimidating, awkward, emotional process. But Wendy made everything seem clear and easy. I had issues that needed some clever finessing, and Wendy was able to figure it all out and navigate me through everything. She is easy to work with. She is honest and professional, and cal...med my nerves when I felt concerned about anything. Although Wendy is kind, she is also straight-forward and direct. Definitely not afraid to be confrontational if needed! You want Wendy on your team!

A very fine attorney

Wendy is an extraordinary attorney who really fights for her clients. She is always prepared, extremely well-versed in family law, and upholds the highest ethical standards. Wendy genuinely cares about children and families and that shows in how she practices. I highly recommend her to anyone ...in need of a lawyer for a family law matter to take care of their legal needs. She is professional, intelligent, and has the right balance of toughness and compassion.

Wonderful ally in a spiteful divorce

Wendy provided great guidance in my divorce, resulting in a fair settlement. My ex was a business owner who had all the resources of his business to fund his divorce proceedings. He had left me with 2 kids, a house in pre-foreclosure proceedings and mountain of debt. Wendy listened carefully to... understand a complicated financial and business landscape of our situation, and provided good advice on how to proceed. During our first mediation, my ex turned very hostile. Even the mediator was surprised by the anger and deviousness that my ex displayed. Wendy, despite her small stature, stood up to him and called him out on several inconsistencies (such as pointing out that his rent exceeded his claimed income). He intended to back me into a corner and tell me what I was going to get - and she would have no part of that. Our second mediation ended with a substantial settlement and child support for me. This was a best case scenario, despite the fact I was entitled to alimony. Wendy pointed out that I would have to pursue him for alimony for the rest of my life. By taking a settlement instead, I could finally get him out of my life. I appreciate her ability to advise me in what would be best for my peace of mind going into the future. I am happily moved on, and always grateful for her assistance.

A Powerful Ally in a High Conflict Divorce

She's petite, smiles and looks like your favorite elementary school teacher. Don't be fooled. Ms. Hausmann is a powerhouse -- knowledgeable, diligent, straightforward and always prepared. My situation hit all four of her areas of expertise: divorce, timesharing, child support and domestic viol...ence. I walked in scared out of my mind, and by the end of the first hearing, I was taking my first deep breath in months. Documents are filed on time. Motions are complete and clearly worded. I am kept up-to-date, and my phone calls are always returned within a (very) reasonable amount of time. In spite of the fact that my former husband does not obey Court Orders (whether they be Protective, Child Support or otherwise,) Ms. Hausmann cuts through the chaos to help build a clear court record. She has a good memory. That way, there is forward progress, even when former husband does not tell the truth under oath, or we have a new Judge or Magistrate. Did I mention that she's organized, winsome and professional in the Courtroom? You can see that the Judges, Magistrates and other Court personnel respect her. I feel that Attorney Hausmann allows a Judge to hear the information he or she needs to make a decision that is in the best interest of my child. I highly recommend Wendy Hausmann as a Family Law Practitioner.

Never Give Up

I was referred to Wendy Hausmann by a mutual friend going through a divorce. I had it a little tougher than most as my ex left me in excruciating debt. I learned that our house of 15 years was being foreclosed upon by the bank, the cars were being repossessed, and every dime we had saved was gone. ... He picked up one day and left me with 3 children and went to live with his new girlfriend. He was a convicted felon who didn't pay his taxes and stopped working on the books. My ex left me homeless and penniless. Wendy and I mediated an amazing settlement in terms of child support, alimony and even a pay plan based on my ex having to file bankruptcy (which he never did). With Wendy's smarts she negotiated a settlement based on my ex's girlfriends earnings as my ex claimed to be indigent. For almost 5 years now I have not been able to get a dime as my ex would go to court, claim to be indigent, and pleaded to the judge to allow him to try and find work. After a few years, he simply stopped showing up for court. Wendy stood by me and propped me up and supported me. She insisted that I never give up. She had me try to serve him over and over again. Just when I thought things were hopeless, Wendy introduced me to a funny little process server who practically lived out of his car. He was persistent and hunted my ex down. I finally had him served, but still he would not show up for court. Wendy insisted that we continue to fight and this week she and I went back to court. The judge finally ruled with a "writ of bodily attachment". My ex would finally be arrested for making a mockery of the court and ignoring his child support responsibilities. A fine was assessed and I expect that after his arrest, I will finally start to find justice. Wendy Hausmann was my rock during the past 5 years. She was not only one of the most brilliant attorneys I have ever known, she is a kind, compassionate, caring, supportive, loving woman who truly cares for her clients. She has given me the strength to carry on and pursue my ex, and above all, she has taught me to never give up. Hire Wendy and you will never be sorry. She believes in fairness and will always guide you in the right direction. She will work within your budget to make sure that you are not victimized again with staggering legal fees and will stay in your corner until justice is served. Wendy has become a true friend and a member of my extended family. She is one of the good guys and will always work hard for you.
