Wendy R Hernandez

Where should I start? I have been in and out of family court in California and Arizona since 2017 and almost every year thereafter. I came across Wendy's YouTube channel in 2017 and her videos helped me understand the Courts' processes, the legal jargon, and to have patience. I wished she had been my... attorney from the beginning. After losing my family attorney when she moved to another firm, I was left to handle my case as a Pro Se for a couple of years and I was successful thanks to Wendy's videos, this year, I had the opportunity to have Wendy in my case. For the first time I felt peace. The opposing counsel's demeanor in the case changed dramatically when Wendy came on-board. We were successful in modifying parenting time in Mediation. I have much respect for Wendy’s professionalism, ethics, knowledge, and experience. Her staff is courteous and professional. Communications are clear. I am kept informed of everything that is happening. Most importantly, I have a family attorney I can trust and who has the best interest of my daughter at heart, and that, is gold in my book. Needless to say, she will be in our case until my daughter turns 18.

Before I had Wendy I had a very unfair trial My judge at the time was George Foster Jr who shouldn't even had the right to be a judge from the start every legal action every thing I did was that was in accordance to Arizona law and what was right this judge shut down and kept throwing the book at me.... the hurdles alone i had to go through. When I finally was able to hire Wendy so much damage so much work was there i put down a 4500 dollar retainer Wendy and her office literally helped conserve every dollar amount the mother of my child wasn't a simple case either. in the court room Wendy was so profound and the way her in the judge spoke to one another even the judges staff was as if they knew Wendy there whole life and had just the up most respect. I had Wendy for a little over a year things did get pricey towards the end, but that was because of a lot of stupid things that shouldn't of gone on and even then Wendy and her staff conserved just as much. in Arizona anytime one has had a trial usually doesn't get anything changed until its been at least 2years after Wendy got that change in the year and some months i had Wendy and her staff I went from supervised visits paying $120 a week on top of child support which was $560.00 to now Ive had a new court date already a new trial all within a 3month period. my child support now is $160.00 a month. and I have my child majority of the time. Wendy and her staff helped me through my lowest and they coached me when I was wrong and I'm man enough to admit when I was wrong. this is the attorney you want in your corner her and the staff she has there amazing almost as if your family and they treat you as such. I seriously cant say one bad thing I have nothing. if the price she gives you seems steep this is the words she gave me and its the best advice one can give "how much is it worth to fight for whats right for your kid" any good parent knows that blood sweat and tears is what we would give to fight for our kids. this attorney her staff they do just that.

Wendy was highly recommend by Eldon Hanson our personal injury lawyer. Wendy was very reassuring she put our minds at ease immediately. Especially when my son was removed from babysitter without without my permission. Wendy acted very quickly and i got my son back the next day, for that was the worst... moment of my life. Wendy never failed to keep me informed. I also think Jeanine was awesome she was always was on top of things. All Wendy's staff were very helpful.

I have had the pleasure of working with Wendy and her staff over the past 2 years. I find that her knowledge and organizational skills far exceed many other attorneys I have worked with in the past. While other attorneys treat you as just another case, Wendy is prepared to fight for what is right f...or you and your children. She does not sit and chatter with you, then send you a bill. She is direct, effective and stays on point. This is most appreciated when money is already an issue. I have recommended Wendy to several of my friends and they all have had the same experience that I have had. I hope to never need legal representation again, but if I do, I will only need to make one call to Wendy and know that I have the best representation possible.

After $18,000, this was the worst experience of my life and not only because of my unreasonable ex husband but because of my representation as well. Wendy works through a paralegal and to get to her you have to penetrate a brick wall. The staff doesn't return emails, phone calls or even answer all ...?s in an email. She filed documents without allowing me to review them and failed to send me copies after the fact. To this day, I have not received everything. Her paralegal worked outside of her scope by telling me she would not let me settle prior to mediation/trial because I would most likely get what I wanted as I was being reasonable and my husband was being unreasonable. At a time I was upset and feeling flustered, Wendy proceeded to tell me that I had made my bed and that one day i would figure out why I chose my partner. I was so tired of the lack of communication and her failure to inform me of the progress and mostly lack of progress that I asked her to withdraw and she waited over a week to do it and still never responded. Now two months after she has withdrawn, I'm still being charged for emails in which they forwarded the court's final rulings and a drafted letter that read something along the lines of "enclosed is your CD for ADR". I still can't even get the receptionist to respond to my emails unless she is calling me for payment. She IS competent but her lack of responsiveness was disappointing to say the least. During my interviews with other attorneys, I found she was well known as a competent but unresponsive attorney. I met a few other attorneys who had clients with cases against her and the attorneys have also been unable to get a response from anybody other than her paralegal. So in closing, if you want your battle fought by a paralegal then Wendy's firm is the firm for you, but you will not save any money. You will be charged for sending emails and then following up with a call after not hearing back within a few days.
