Custody

Wendi was referred to me from my previous lawyer whom had switched law practices. She is the third lawyer I had in my custody case. She has fought tooth and nail for me from the beginning. She is the reason why my baby has been able to stay with me. I will refer her to anyone needing help with family... court. I will keep her hired on as my lawyer until I no longer need her, or she retires, which ever comes first!

A pleasure to work with!

We are a married same sex couple. My wife gave birth to our twins. At the time our children were born, KY did not recognize our marriage although the Federal Government did. I wanted to be included on the childrens’ birth certificate and be recognized as a legal parent to my children in all ways. Wen...di represented us in family court and handled the second parent adoption of my children. I have recommend Wendi, without reservation, to friends needing representation or legal services in family matters. Wendi is very professional and courteous but also approachable and warm. She was prompt in returning calls and emails. Making appointments was effortless and she worked hard to meet our schedules. Wendi really cared about our outcome and I would use her services again.

THE BEST in LOUISVILLE

I don't even know where to begin! Between my husband and I, we spoke to over 10 attorneys who told us there was no way they could help with our cases and that all the odds were against us. Wendi was recommended to us from a friend and I told my husband she was the last one I was going to talk to beca...use no one could/would help. Wendi GLADLY met with me the next morning and came through in the 9th hour when we thought all hope was lost! She knew exactly what to do and how to get the ball rolling. She was honest about her opinion from the beginning on what would more than likely happen (which wasn't in our favor) and yet she vowed to try her best. and that she did! Wendi is an amazing lawyer. She is passionate about her job, truly cares about her clients and is highly respected in the court room. My husband and I have been working with Wendi for 8-9 months now on a custody case and she has become so close to our hearts. She is a BULLDOG in the court room without having to be loud, arrogant or obnoxious. She knows what she is talking about, handles herself well and pushes through all obstacles to help her clients! Wendi is quick to respond and always has a plan of action and answers to give. She truly was a godsend to our family and I don't know what we would have done without her expertise. We are still working on our case but have won many challenges that were put in our way and we owe it all to Wendi! I can't imagine not having her in our corner! For the rest of our lives we will recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel! She is without a doubt THEE best attorney in Louisville.

Compassionate attorney

Worked with Wendi on an emotional family court for a child in need. She was supportive, knowledgeable and did everything we could ever ask for. She made the difference for our family and for the child who needed her skill the most. She truly cared about her outcome and has become a friend to us.

Shared parenting dispute

I initially consulted with her to inquire about my options on moving my case from Ohio to Kentucky. She was very helpful and gave wonderful advice. She was able to get the case moved and resulted in having it heard. I am currently waiting to see if my ex-husband will make it necessary to proceed furt...her.
