Nasty Divorce

I was going through a nasty divorce with my, now, ex-husband. He had gotten an attorney to represent him. It was time I got an attorney to represent me. I found Wendy Morgan. She represented me with the fiery fierce will I needed. Wendy got me everything that I deserved. Wendy had no problem dealing ...with the other attorney. Wendy paid attention to details my case, and made sure that the divorce was fair and complete.

Thank you so much.

My sons called me and told me their mother was taking drugs and threatening them with knives. I hired the Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan who obtained an Emergency Order of Protection for me immediately. They helped me obtain sole allocation of parental responsibilities and their mother can only see them... with a supervisor. They saved my children. Thank You, Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan.

Experience Matters

I secured the services of The Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan after several years of off again, on again contentious litigation, while pursuing parenting time with my youngest son. After spending valuable time and resources on a small, garden variety law firm who didn’t specialize in family law, I decide...d it was time to do some research and find a firm with the can do attitude and experience, that my situation called for. Times are slowly changing but as a father, many times it’s still an uphill battle to fight back against the mentality resulting from all of the years that mother’s had the upper hand in family courts, when it comes to parental allocation and parenting time. That’s why the experience and advocacy coming from a law firm like The Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan, is vitally important. No one likes to face litigation, especially family law. It can be emotionally draining and contentious. However, if you’re unable to amicably find a solution, you need experienced attorneys to navigate the complex laws. There are never any guarantees of outcomes in court but you always want to be in the best possible legal position you can be in, at all times. Without getting into too many arduous details, my situation was somewhat legally complex. It involved acquiring Court Orders for a Guardian-Ad-Litem and a 604.10(b) professional, just for starters, along with a host of other complications, relating to problematic visitations and HIPAA laws etc. The valuable lesson I learned, is that family law is specialized and requires the attention of a skilled, family law litigator, to know which steps to take and when. The Law Firm Of Wendy R. Morgan has that experience and skill and are available to their clients after hours for emergencies. They are keenly aware of the last minute complexities and questions that can arise in family law litigation, so they are able to think fast on their feet to answer them and you won’t have to worry about calling them to ask them what the next step should be. They always have your back and your best interests in mind while they represent you. If you secure the services of Wendy and her team, you can rest assured that when you walk into the courtroom, you’ll have an advocate fighting for you and your interests and that you’ll always be in the best possible legal position that you can be in. Wendy and her entire legal team have a firm grasp of the subject matter and the law and it shows when she controls the conversation in the courtroom and drafts painstakingly detailed Court Orders, (which you’ll discover are an absolute necessity in contentious domestic litigation). Do yourself a favor, if you’re in need of competent legal representation and a fighter in a family law matter, call them and get an opinion about where you currently stand and what your next legal step(s) should be. I’m thankful I secured The Law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan, before me ex did. If you’ve spoken to Wendy or Katherine at the firm and are seeking a personal testimonial, you can ask them for my contact information. I’m willing to share my personal experience with the firm, with you. J.J. M

Very Professional

The law Firm of Wendy R. Morgan is very professional. I was in a horrible marriage and they helped me and my children tremendously. They are available 24/7. If you are looking for professionalism in the Northwest Suburbs, I highly recommend her.

Posted by Abegaile | October 28, 2016 | Divorce & Separation

Thank Atty. Wendy!

I met Wendy through a friend of a friend when I was complaining about my erratic ex-husband. While I was incredibly stressed during the process, Wendy helped me see things in a logical way rather than the emotional way I had been dealing. I trust Wendy and her integrity is unquestionable. I really wi...sh I’d found her sooner.
