Wendy Did her Best

I had custody problems when my ex and I split. She would not let me see my child. I looked for legal advice and was able to find Wendy R. Morgan. Wendy was able to get me visitation to see my child right away. Thanks to Wendy I am able to be in my child’s life and I do not have to wait on my child’s ...mother to decide when I can see my kid. The process was quick and Wendy and her staff always kept me posted on what was going on with my case.

Excellent work

Wendy Is awesome and her associate Robert Medansky is very helpful as well! I hired the Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan to handle a child support issue for me because my ex was failing to make his payments. She immediately entered an order with the court and directly took my support payments out of his p...aychecks. Thank God for Wendy! Her staff is super friendly and it is always a pleasure visiting her office. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a sharp Family Law Attorney.

Knowledgeable Firm

I contacted Wendy Morgan’s office when a friend told me they had worked with her in the past. I was uncertain of what to expect being that I had never gone through a divorce before. Once I met with Wendy, she put me at ease and knew that my child and I would be in good hands. She listened to all I... had to say and was very confident and professional when in court. Her staff was always attentive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her office to anyone.

Disappointed

Wendy R Morgan may be a good lawyer for men but personally, she angered my divorce/family court hearing judge and unimpressed me tremendously with her lack of strong representation in court. Case in point, no pun intended, the judge said "...law is based on the facts." I will never forget that. Six y...ears ago her office was disorganized and her office staff unprofessional and rude. Her retainers add up quickly in a short time and her staff doesn't send all the documentation to back up the hours before she asks for more. This has been my experience at least. At best, she did listen attentively.
