Trying to find the right attorney can be an overwhelming task. Add to that the stress and high emotions of a family law case and it can seem downright daunting. You want someone on your side – someone that you can believe in and trust. Wendy Wood was that attorney for us. She was able to guide us through a very difficult time with great kindness, sincerity, and a high level of integrity. She is passionate about what she does, truly cares about her clients, and treats them with great respect. We found Wendy to be honest, trustworthy, and dependable. We were always kept well informed and Wendy was responsive to our questions - always going above and beyond to give superb legal counsel. She is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in the field of family law. Her passion for the law and deep compassion for clients is a rare combination. We unreservedly give our full endorsement and recommendation.

When I realized I needed an attorney, I was given the name of a local firm in the town where I live; I contacted the firm and made an appointment. The attorney that was recommended was not able to represent me beyond our first consultation and transferred my case to another attorney in the office which fortunately for me was Wendy Anne Wood. Since our first meeting back in 2003 and to the present I have had the pleasure of having Wendy represent me several times. With Wendy you can expect sound honest counsel, respect and professionalism in all aspects, she exhibits high ethical values, and she is frugal with the fees that she requires for her services to ensure that you get the best value for your money. Wendy takes every concern you have seriously and with compassion and confidentiality. I consider Wendy as not only as an attorney who has represented me, but also a friend; "Wendy Is simply the best", and it is comforting to me that there are attorneys like Wendy working within the legal system who cares so much about her clients. I highly recommend Wendy for any legal matters you may have.

Wendy was a great asset for me as I was going through my divorce. She worked hard to make sure my divorce was successful in terms of me being a part of my kid's lives. I highly recommend her to any Dads going through a divorce.

Wendy was my back bone during the beginning of my divorce and there when I needed her. She kept me informed and managed to help me find my center. Thanks Wendy ~LaShelle
During a time when our family needed help the most we first called on God and he answered our prayers with Wendy.
After a beautiful wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii my wife and I had wonderful plans. As an Army Soldier stationed in Hawaii, I would move my wife and two children there and enjoy life. Well, that plan was interrupted when my wife got served by her ex-husband. He wanted to prevent his daughter from moving out of the county by filing a temporary restraining order and request for sole custody. With four months left for the big move this was a huge setback and we assumed our plans would be thwarted. We searched for a few attorneys and Wendy drastically stood out. She was very personal. While most law offices have legal assistants conduct initial assessments, Wendy took the time to talk to us and give us an honest and solid way ahead. After our initial discussion my wife and I immediately felt secure and our anxiety was lifted. Throughout the case Wendy was very responsive, reliable, honest, and fair. Her sound expertise, God-given talent, and genuine care for our family allowed for the case to go in our favor and continue with our plans. Now our family is enjoying paradise in Hawaii!
In the midst of greed and untrustworthiness amongst most lawyers, Wendy excelled. She not only was our lawyer, but also our friend. We will use Wendy for all of our legal matters in the future. She is absolutely awesome.

Wendy is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with!!! She handled my custody case and she got me everything I wanted!!! I could not have asked for a more dedicated and outstanding lawyer!!! She let me know every step she was taking and kept me well informed about how everything was going and she kept me involved!!! She is very personal which was great since she was dealing with my daughters well being and she is very straight from the get go!!! She told me up front that she was taking my case for my daughter, not for me and that was the best news I had gotten from any lawyer I had dealt with on my custody case!!! If I had to use a lawyer again she would definitely be the first person I called!!!

My wife wanted a divorce. I got her to agree to a settlement without a lawyer but her friends talked her out of it. After several days my ex-wife told me she was going to talk to a lawyer. A friend recommended Ms. Wood to me. Ms. Wood immediately set up an appointment for me to discuss my situation. Under her advisement I filed before my ex-wife could. I told Ms. Wood that my ex-wife previously had an affair but told her I didn't think she was involved in one currently. Ms. Wood said she very much might be and that I might check out what I could.
She was right. Ms. Wood worked with me on what my legal options were to gather information, advising me what was legal and what was not. If she was not sure she would always research the question and get back to me quickly. Through phone records and other methods I gathered enough evidence so that my ex-wife finally admitted to the affair, which I got on tape. In Texas this is legal. If this affair came out, as it would in court, my ex-wife and her lover would have been greatly embarrassed.
Because of Ms. Wood I received a settlement without going to trail or mediation. The settlement was significantly better than what I originally offered my ex-wife. I have custody of both of the children, a girl who is 13 and a boy who is 11, with my ex-wife paying child support. I have the house and all of our land in Burleson County (200 acres and a cabin). My ex-wife had to pay my legal costs. I am retired and receive social security. She does not receive any benefits from any of that, as well as nothing from other moneys I have. All she received was her retirement accounts and her personal property such as inherited furniture, her car and motorcycle and other things she paid for with her own money. She also will receive $40,000 from me to be paid out in 10 years at 4% interest. The equity I have in the house, land and other sources is worth well over $400,000. I feel like I got a really good deal and probably could not have gotten one that good if we went to court.
Ms. Wood has advised me well in the past six months, showing concern for my children and me. She has made it very clear that it is in the best interest of the kids if I speak well of their mother and not put her down. That tends to be my nature but as one might imagine I have had to deal with a lot of justifiable anger. Her council helped me immensely.
As bad as divorces are, my ex-wife and I are getting along well and the kids have survived it as well as could be expected, still loving both of their parents, which is as it should be.

Wendy is a very energetic, confident person that knows family law through both professional and personal experience.She listened to what my desires of the divorce were for both myself and especially the concerns for my son.I was very particular in stating to her that I wanted her to help me keep the emotions down and logically fit the decree to the needs of my son. She patiently worked with me as I went through the emotions of my divorce to ensure that my divorce decree was written in a way that would best suit my son's needs. She always made sure that she fought for my son and would talk me through the hard decisions by helping me see the consequences and/or rewards for those decisions. She made sure to not sugar coat the answers to my questions and kept me updated on what she was going to do, making sure it was what I wanted and would also ensure I knew both the good and bad side of what could happen when talking to the judge.
Wendy is easy to work and speak with. She does not play around and gets done what needs to be done. I would highly recommend Wendy and have done so many times.
~Tammy
Wendy is the BEST lawyer I have EVER worked with. She is compassionate as well as passionate about the cases she handles. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and her expertise at what she does greatly influenced the positive outcome of my case.

Being a single father it was hard to have confidence in obtaining custody of my son but I knew it was the best thing for many reasons. When I interviewed Wendy she did not come off arrogant and say we had a for sure deal like I had heard from other lawyers that I met with. I came to the conclusion with the help of my mother and close friends that she was the best choice. We went to court on several occasions throughout the process. In each case she was in control of the situation. She was able to show the judge the truth and made the process as smooth as could ask for. I would highly recommend her for any family law situation. I have been the custodial parent of my son for over 4 years now and owe it to Mrs. Wood.
~Scott
My husband and I had the benefit of meeting Ms. Wood when she represented the interests of our grand niece and nephews. She invested her time, skill, and heart into their case and worked solely for their benefit. We would not hesitate to hire her or to recommend her to others.
~Billy & Alex
Wendy provided the best service that I have ever experienced while using her as my council. Wendy is very responsive and pays attention to detail. I have recommend Wendy to my friends and would use her again if the need presented it self. You can't go wrong with Wendy.
~Tom
Wendy helped me in my divorce case while I was stationed in another state. She was exceptional in keeping me informed and advising me on my rights and different courses of action. My case involved local issues as well as federal law. Throughout the course of my case, she proved herself to be a fearless advocate for me. She is a consummate professional and quickly earned my complete trust. She goes above and beyond what is required and I wouldn't want to have another lawyer by my side. I highly recommend her!
~Andrew
Wendy was not only professional but expedient and thorough. My domestic violence-related divorce was handled quickly and with concise precision. Wendy aided me in being awarded full custody of my child and full ownership of all property owned prior to marriage. She reassured at every turn of the process and allowed me to make the decisions I needed by presenting the details and facts clearly in a manner I could understand. Thanks Wendy!
~Barbara
Wendy Wood worked diligently on my case and was quick to respond when I called with a question. She made me feel confident and helped put everything into perspective for me. She is a no non-sense lawyer and that was exactly what I was looking for. She is knowledgeable and has a high standard of ethics and integrity. She truly helped me get through one of the toughest periods in my life and I will forever be indebted to her for the kindness and generosity she has shown me.
