also known as Wendy Hackler
I was born in Dallas and raised in Arlington. I graduated from the University of Texas with a BA in Psychology and went straight into law school at Texas Tech. I went to law school knowing that I wanted to be a family law attorney because I enjoy working with, and helping, people.
I received my law degree, passed the bar, and began my legal career in Fort Worth. I started my practice with foster parent adoptions. I soon went to work for the Attorney General of Texas, where I worked for three years. Then I went back out on my own and reopened my family law practice in Fort Worth, Texas.
I have 4 boys who range in age from 29-9. Having experienced my own divorce a few years ago, I now have a new perspective. Having personally made it through the ordeal, and a subsequent modification, I now understand first hand the emotional turmoil that my clients go through. I believe these experiences help me relate to my clients and encourage me to be creative in my suggestions for settlement.

I was going through a very rough time, living out of state. Wendy and Nick took great care to explain everything I needed to do, in order to execute a expeditious divorce. Everything went smoother than I ever expected, even with changes that were thrown at them. Divorce is never easy, but they made i...

Wendy helped me navigate my divorce from start to finish. Very professional, available, and empathetic. Was a calm voice to my chaos. Supportive, and resolved to represent me at the highest professional level. I am very grateful.

When my Ex and I split up, we went through a very nasty battle over child support and medical support. Wendy and Nick stood by me through everything. Any questions or concerns I had, an answer was an email or a phone call away. She is also VERY affordable, as a single mom that hadn't not received an...
"Wendy does an excellent job representing her clients. In an era when so many lawyers are perceived as being in it only for themselves, Wendy truly cares about the needs of her clients."
