Professional & Compassionate

Wendy Jones provided legal expertise with a degree of care and warmth that made a challenging proceeding a bit easier to manage. My experience from start to finish, with Wendy and her team, was very positive. I would recommend Wendy to any family member, or friend, who is in need of a family law atto...rney.

Compassionate Representation

I highly recommend Wendy Jones and her entire firm for your family law needs. She, and her staff, as well as her partner Phil, were so easy to work with. They kept my divorce moving forward and responded to all my questions and requests in a timely, professional manner, but were more importantly, k...ind and compassionate about the complexities of my situation. Their fees are very reasonable. I shopped around and was shocked at the services they offered for far less than many of their competitors. Wendy was straight-forward and honest in her assessment of my rights, ensuring no surprises as we moved through the process. I am very grateful for this team that helped guide me through a painful and stressful time with so much patience and understanding.

A total nightmare avoid at all costs

“Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this attorney. I felt that the representation I received was poor, and I was not satisfied with how my case was handled. As a result I lost my case and access to my children which she seemed strangely happy to witness. If you are looking for le...gal counsel, I strongly encourage you to carefully research other options before making a decision.”

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
