Thank you for the Big help

I came to the Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan for help with my children’s father. We were never married and he would take the kids whenever he felt like it. It was never scheduled or routine, and when he did take them he was not a good role model or safe to leave them alone with as he didn’t follow what ...was in the best interest for them. He was clueless of what they needed and how to take care of them. Attorney Morgan and I sat down to have a consultation regarding this issue. With her help we were able to make him go through court ordered counseling and parenting classes. In addition, while he was doing that he had supervised visits with the children. He learned how to interact with them properly and appropriately for their ages and what their needs were. Now he is able to take the children for unsupervised visitations and I do not fear for their safety. Throughout the process Attorney Morgan and her firm have been so helpful and reassuring. I was able to come into the office at times that were convenient for me and every time I was there I felt welcomed and like my situation was under control. I am grateful to the Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan as my children can visit with their father whenever they like and I can feel secure knowing that they are now safe.

Fantastic Attorney hands down.

I used attorney Morgan’s legal services for Emergency Change of Custody of my teenage daughter, who was being abused by my ex-wife, my ex-wife continued to willfully and continuously violate the Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage and Attorney Morgan drafted Emergency pleadings and an Order of Prote...ction for my daughter and obtained a change of custody to myself and also filed a petition for finding of Indirect Civil Contempt and handled the litigation very successfully. She exercised great knowledge of law in her field, professionalism, and was a pit-bull in court when dealing with a contentious, difficult, and overwhelming situation for me. She gave her 100% in court when fighting for my rights.

We are very pleased

My wife petitioned for a divorce in Illinois while I am out of State. As soon as I was served with the divorce documents I searched for an attorney that would be able to handle my case and represent my best interest while I am out of state. I found attorney Morgan, had a consultation, was very plea...sed with her and retained her services. She is very personable, reasonable, knowledgeable attorney with more than 30 years of experience in divorce cases. Ms. Morgan has been representing me since 2014 and was able to accomplish everything I wanted. She has done a fantastic job and now my case is set for prove-up and all my best interests have been met. I would highly recommend Ms. Morgan to anyone who is undergoing a divorce. She is a woman with great talent and will accommodate her client’s needs.

Very Helpful

Attorney Morgan is an outstanding attorney. She has been successfully handling a very difficult paternity case since 2013 against the father of my two (2) children who happens to be an attorney himself. My paternity case is extremely complicated because the father of my children is an attorney that... has experience in family law and is basically able to represent himself in this case. He is extremely difficult to deal with and is unwilling to be fair or come to mutual grounds. Attorney Morgan has great knowledge of the law and all the proper procedures necessary to take in a tough litigated paternity case. I have put all my trust in her and she has gone above and beyond in handling my overwhelming paternity case. Attorney Morgan is a fighter who fights for her clients best interest and isn’t afraid to challenge any situation that she views unfair. I feel extremely lucky to have such a great attorney representing me during such a difficult time in my life while I fight for my children and what is in their best interests.

Everything went Smooth

The Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan handled my divorce case. I worked with Attorney Morgan and felt like she understood everything I was going through. She was very helpful and understanding of my situation. I was able to speak with her multiple times on the phone and in her office as well as at/during c...ourt. She made sure I understood the process and which steps I needed to take next. She was very professional as well as personable. I would recommend her to any of my friends if they were in need of legal help.
