An excellent divorce attorney
Wendy did a wonderful job. She is very knowledgable in all aspects of family law and is deeply compassionate and understanding. She truly cares about her clients. Wendy handles herself with the utmost professionalism, even in some of the most challenging situations. If she is handling your divorce matter, know that you are in good hands. She did a wonderful job with my financial settlement negotiations along with dealing extremely well with a challenging opposing attorney. Thank you Wendy for putting your clients at ease and for making a challenging and emotional situation run smooth.
