phenomenal!!

Wendy has been an amazing help in my situation. She is caring and gives great advice. I'm so very happy to have found her! She is the one lawyer that renews faith in the legal system for my family and I. I couldn't have gotten as far as I have without her. I highly recommend her in your families time... of need. She's genuine and knows how to be human amongst her peers.

Excellent for family law

Wendy has been extremely helpful to me over the years providing excellent advice in person and email/phone support. Her hourly rates as well as retainer are well priced.

Great job

Wendy has helped me two times, once with my divorce, and most recently she helped me get full custody of my son during a very trying time. With the divorce she was excellent, with her advice, and reassurance, she kept me calm and focused. She negotiated a great settlement that was fair to both pa...rties. It was a very tough time for me and with Wendy by my side, it was a very calm, and palatable experience. Now 7 1/2 years later, I again called upon her to help my son and I negotiate a very sensitive situation. She didnt miss a beat, she picked right up where we left off and this time we had to see the court room. We had 4 different appearances, with 4 different judges. Every time Wendy stated the case, worked with the court, and ultimately we won, giving my son and I the opportunity to have wonderful life. I dont see how any other attorney could have done a better job. Thank you Wendy!

Very Helpful

She was very helpful to me in my family law case, I didn't know what to do at all. She prepared me for each step so I knew the right ways to respond and her coaching was very timely. It could have turned out horribly for me, but she was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me, that I wouldn't ha...ve been able to do on my own. Her attention to my concerns greatly comforted me in my tough case. She was able to see past the emotional states that I felt with the highs and lows that I was feeling based on stuff that happens to all of us in these cases. She was able to keep me focused on the bigger picture that I wasn't able to comprehend at the moment due to the strain of dealing with your children in theses family law cases, thanks so much.
