also known as Wendy Wood Hencerling
I am an experienced Texas family law attorney. By "experienced," I mean that not only have I helped hundreds of clients achieve their objectives on issues ranging from custody, visitation, complex marital property division and issues regarding clients' pets, but experienced as well with the personal challenges, confusion and resentments that can cloud anyone's judgment in a divorce case.
I went through divorce myself when I was a young mother (and not yet a lawyer), and learned a great deal about the right and wrong ways to represent a client. I'll never forget the time my own very prominent and expensive attorney showed up to court without knowing whether my child was a boy or a girl. That just won't happen at the Law Office of Wendy Wood.
Since then, I completed law school with a then young son. I have been fortunate to practice family law in many areas - from Harris County to Dallas County, Tarrant County to Collin County and now at home in Brazos County and surrounding areas. I have happily remarried. I am also proud to say my son has learned from the trials of my family law experiences. He is now a graduate of Texas A&M University and wants to be a lawyer himself.
Please feel free to call my office or to send me an email () to discuss your particular family law issues. I will do my best to give your matter the attention to detail that you deserve.

Divorce
Wendy hung me out to dry. She is not prepared to handle a case against an experienced lawyer. She sat silently while I lost everything. She never spoke up. It was devastating.

Best attorney ever! Brought back peace to my family!
Everything started when I was in Iraq. I found out that my now ex-wife was cheating on me with more than five different people. All I had were emails, and no where to go. Many friends had suggested their attorneys but none of their reviews amounted to what Wendy's was and is. So I gave her a call...
"Wendy is personable, knowledgeable on issues pertaining to family law, and is a capable litigator. I welcome the opportunity to oppose her, as creative resolutions are always available. I heartily endorse Wendy as a family law advocate!"
"Wendy is a very effective and knowledgeable family law attorney. She is smart, aggressive, ethical, and professional. I recommend her without hesitation."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Wendy on a number of occassions, including two hotly contested jury trials. Every time Wendy steps into the courtroom or into a mediation, she is absolutely prepared. She knows the law and how to present her client's position in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner that gets to the heart of the matter in controversy. I highly recommend Wendy Wood."
"I worked with Wendy on a collaborative family law/ divorce case with ease. She was very prepared, compassionate and professional. We were able to work well together and I endorse her work as a divorce attorney."
"I whole heartedly endorse this lawyer. Wendy and I worked together on a jurisdictional fight between Texas and Wisconsin (we both worked for the same client, but she in Texas, I in Wisconsin). She was professional, extremely competent, and handled the matter as a true expert. Should you need an attorney to handle a family law matter, you would be hard pressed to find a better attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. She was both thoughtful, courteous and professional and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law and the needs of her client. She is an asset to the profession."
"I worked with Wendy on a contested family law case a few months ago, and while she was a strong advocate for her client, she was also very down-to-earth and professional. My experience with her was very positive, and I do endorse her work."
"I have had the opportunity to personally work with Wendy Wood and observe her dedication and commitment to her clients. Wendy has always made it a priority to ensure her clients are well informed while aggressively advocating their interests. She is always well-prepared for all court appearances and at mediation. Wendy is a highly respected individual and attorney and someone I would hire if I needed legal counsel."
