Reporting her to the bar!!

Won't file paper work to the judge and wont return any emails phone calls. We paid her to represent me for visitation with my girls but NEVER filed the paper so now I haven't been able to talk to my kids nor see them. Im having to pay another attorney to pick up her slack.

Wendy is hands down amazing

She has handled both of our same sex couple adoptions. She handled a friends bankruptcy for them and was truly awesome. She eases nerves and reassures you of what is gonna happen step for step. Definitely will use her again for all of our needs !

One of the BEST & most DEPENDABLE lawyers in town :)

My husband & I have known Wendy for several years now. She is not just a lawyer, she is a friend whom we think the world of. Dedicated to her job, she throughly answered all our questions & concerns. Ensuring we understood every detail. She spent quality time with us, that's something. As busy as law...yers can be, she never denied us a moment of her time if we needed her or had questions. She has one of the biggest hearts we have ever seen. We would choose her over any lawyer in the state of Alabama, simply because we know she will get the job done right. She will take the stress off of you & leave you so much more at ease knowing she has it all handled. We could never have asked for a better lawyer. She was God sent. She is REALLY that good. Thank you Wendy, for being not just a lawyer, but a friend.

EXCELLENT: A Lawyer with a Beautiful Heart for Children and Families

Ms. Draper handled our adoption in 2008, when we adopted a child through Alabama's foster care system. Everything that she did was quick and timely - very efficient. Her demeanor is pleasant, positive, and professional, as is their office staff, anytime we had to contact them. Over the years, our fa...mily has been invited on many various foster parenting/adoptive parent panels, and on several occasions, Ms. Draper was there, as well. She is very passionate about adoptive families. Every encounter with Ms. Draper, in various professional settings has been refreshing and positive. Our family very much admires her.

  • 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.
