Highly Recommend Wendy Hart

I hired Wendy and Nick for a divorce and custody situation. They were amazing to work with from the first phone call all the way to the finalized papers. I felt not only like a valued client, but also a real person going through an extremely trying time. You will not find a better team to take care o...f your family law concerns. They were prompt with every communication and made this process extremely manageable.

Grateful.

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.

Honest and Straight-Forward Advice!

After reading several attorneys bios and visiting their websites, I was confident that I wanted Wendy to guide me through my divorce. The initial consultation confirmed my theory. She was informative about family law, and how it is practiced in Tarrant County. She used her experience and knowledge of... pass cases to help me put my situation into perspective. The advice Wendy gave was honest and straight- forward. She was accessible when I needed her. I always felt like she acted in my best interest, and not was convenient for her. Just to get the divorce over I was willing to give to my ex-husband’s every whim, and forfeit a substantial amount of community property. During a honest conversation she stated, “Sometimes you have to teach people how to treat you. Sometimes you have to stand up to a bully. You ex-husband is the father of your children and you are going to have to deal with him on some level for the rest of your life.” In retrospect, she was correct. In the end, I was able to meditate a settlement that was 100% in my favor. I did my part and followed her advice. Give Wendy a call. Spend the money on the consultation. You won’t regret it. If anything, you will walk away informed. I will definitely ask Wendy to represent me in the future. Her experience is valuable.

Good advise in emotional times.

Wendy has worked on two seperate family issues I have had. She always provides sound advise and recommendations regarding family law. She will always be the first person I go to when I have a question or a problem.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
