I had a very tricky situation, and Wendy was extremely thoughtful in coming up with the right approach. She really listened and did her research. She was responsive and sympathetic and got the job done.
Wendy was more than just my divorce attorney; she was my shoulder to cry on, my advisor, my strength, and she (as well as her staff) was able to smooth the rough edges of my divorce. Never once did I perceive a negative tone in her voice and she literally held my hand during the mitigation process.
I cannot say enough about Wendy and how much I appreciated her help through my divorce. I'm sure I am not alone in the range of emotions I experienced from fear to frustration but Wendy stood by me through the process step by step. She was confident and knowledge guiding me through the law while still being understanding with some occasional tough love when I needed to hear the reality of a divorce. I will forever be thankful for Wendy and how she helped me through a very challenging part of my life.
Wendy was with me every step of the way during my long drawn out stressful divorce. I appreciated the honest advice I got in regards to how to best communicate with my ex to preparing for a multi day trial. Wendy was great at listening to my needs and giving me several options at all the stages of my divorce. I couldn't have made it through such a hard divorce without all the support I got from Wendy and her team.
Wendy made the very painful event of my divorce so much easier to bear with her excellent communication, honesty, candor, and genuine interest in my well being and the well being of my children. She was never late for appointments and was efficient in her work so that I didn't incur unnecessary expenses. I would recommend her to anyone!
