My divorce is final! Thanks to Wendi!

I reached out to Wendi early in the separation and eventual divorce process. She was very knowledgable and easy to work with. I believe Wend cares about her clients. She helped me iron out balanced divorce terms perfectly by advising what typically happens, how courts typically view a situation and w...hat my options were. I feel that the terms we agreed to were fair and her skills helped us to avoid any extra unnecessary or costly disputes. We got through the whole process in a very reasonable amount of time, thanks to her. She also helped with some follow ups after divorce was official and I am so thankful to have found a great person and lawyer.

Compassionate, Bold, Confident and Amazing Lawyer

I have been fighting for full custody of my daughter for about 8 years and have tried to represent myself in court. This process is not easy in our state and it is practically impossible to win without a lawyer. I reached out to Wendi after reading reviews on her a year and a half ago. I called he...r and she was very responsive in getting back with me, despite her being out of town. She offered a free consultation and I met with her as soon as she arrived back in town. I was frustrated and hysterical when I walked into her office . She was able to calm me down and I actually felt hope when leaving after this FREE consultation. I decided to hire her, due to her confident and bold vibe that I got from the minute I walked in her office. She offered reassurance to me, which is not something that is easy to do. I had many free consultations with family lawyers and left feeling hopeless and in tears. She is not in it for the money. She is affordable. She is compassionate in what she does. She is fearless and will stand up for you in whatever it is that you are fighting for. She is patient and places herself in your shoes. We have been to court many times, as it is a long process and not a "one and done deal" to obtain full custody of a child. We have worked together for years and she knows every piece of my puzzle, prior to walking in the courtroom. You are not treated as a number and she listens. She has treated my case as if it were her own child she was fighting for. She knows every detail and is not intimidated in the courtroom. She is extremely confident, bold and knows the law. Despite me not being happy with the length of time this is taking, I am finally feeling optimistic that I will soon get what I have been fighting for the past 8 years. Due to her extensive, investigative skills and knowledge, I believe we are almost at the end of this extremely frustrating situation. I have referred her several clients in which have hired her. She is the one the pick if you want a reliable, affordable, compassionate attorney to help you in whatever it is that you are fighting for in court. It will not happen overnight and may take years, depending on the complexity of your case, but she "in it to win it" right along your side!!

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.

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.
