Amazing Attorney, Will refer her to many others!

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...y child support or help from his father...I needed help that wasn't going to cost an arm and a leg, so this was a very important piece for me, however they were very reasonable and worked with me in every way they could! They were very timely on getting back to me (if I ever got a voicemail, which was rare), they walked me through every step and got me exactly what I needed without the fight or headache. I am so glad I found Wendy and Nick when I did. They were a blessing at a time in need for my son and I. Thank you both for all your time and hard work you put into my case! You guys are amazing! I'll be sending others your way!

Honest, personable, approachable & has a good relationship with the court and other attorneys!!

There are no words great enough to describe Wendy & Nick. Wendy was caring, honest and EXTREMELY reasonable with pricing. She is personable, approachable and was very understanding of my personal situation. Wendy has a good relationship with the court as well as other attorneys. She wants to ...fight for your best interest and not drain your bank account for every little thing. I was always able to reach her, even when she was on vacation! Nick was a fantastic help and is very knowledgeable and friendly. Wendy is a kind, wonderful attorney and I would recommend her to friends and family.

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.
