Working with Wendy Chan was a great experience after interviewing many lawyers. We needed someone who knew the legality of a very difficult case that was placed in front of her. Our case was out of the ordinary and she tackled it with the greatest of knowledge and professionalism. I can’t say enough about Wendy and her staff. If you are looking for answers and results this is where you need to be. I want to thank Wendy and her staff for bringing my family together. They are awesome!

During the hurricane of divorce I was adrift alone in an ocean and Wendy & her team threw me a life raft and pulled me to shore. Wendy gave me much needed advice and provided the foundation to handle my divorce and custody arrangement with confidence and energy. I would recommend Wendy and her team to anyone that feels alone or is looking for assistance with custody and divorce in Lancaster County.

I would highly recommend Wendy for any custody cases. Her and her team are highly professional and friendly. Wendy does not bs you, she will tell you how it is. She’s great at getting the point across and is very organized. My advice is to listen to what she has to say and trust her. She’s definitely a lawyer that knows what’s she’s doing.

Wendy is awesome and a fighter! First, she took my case when others would not. She did what others didn't do: she listened to my story. She asked some tough questions, and it's critical to tell the whole story, even the not-so-good parts. She is honest, clear and direct, but also empathetic and caring. Some of her advice was tough to swallow, but I followed it and am so thankful I did. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, and experienced. Every time opposing counsel fired a shot, she aggressively shot back x10. She went head to head with a very experienced and accomplished attorney and backed him down. As a corporate executive involved in a number of legal issues, I know there's no guarantee of winning in court. I had little confidence I could win my case before I met with Wendy. She was confident! While we did win, I'd be writing the same review if we'd lost, because Wendy and her staff went over and above what I imagined in the pursuit of justice. I'd give 6 stars if I could!

She is pricey but you get what you pay for!! Worth every penny!! Watching her in court destroying my ex was the best!!!! She had her binders of exhibits all tabbed and ready to go. My ex and her attorney were blown away!!!!!!!! The lady at the courthouse recommended her and boy, hiring her was the best thing I did.

Did an outstanding job defending me in my divorce. Wendy never backed down and fought for me when I was ready to give up. Wendy won more for me than I ever thought possible. Wendy is my attorney for life!

My ex was not letting me see our children and demanding huge monthly payments. Wendy went into court for me and we now have equal time and reasonable support payments. The opposing attorney was very mean and refused to cooperate with me until I found Wendy. The opposing attorney was put in his place and now doesn’t dare to mess with me. Wendy is the attorney you want on your team.
