Reviews

This is the worst lawyer I have ever come into contact with. I came to her based on these reviews, and wish I had looked elsewhere. On two separate occasions, she went to court knowing the other party had not been served. Why go to court when nothing can be accomplished unless you're simply trying to drain the retainer? It was hundreds of dollars wasted. I was also told by her that she would let me know whether I should come to court on another date. I emailed after not hearing anything weeks after and was told to come. I took off work, showed up, and she was not even there. Beyond all common courtesy, I was billed for the subsequent phone calls I made for showing up for no reason that amounted to less than 6 minutes. When I asked that they be removed, the immediate rebuttal was that they forgot $200 in fees on my invoice from months prior, but would be happy to remove the $50. I was also emailed someone else's extremely private DHR document instead of mine. Even after voicing my uneasiness to Wendy, I did not receive an apology. I have never received an apology for this unprofessionalism. I felt like a paycheck, not a valued client. The unethical treatment took an anxiety inducing situation and made it a complete nightmare. I hired her Dec 2017, and after $2,054 of legal fees, have gotten absolutely nothing accomplished.

I hired Ms. Wendy for an uncontested divorce which unfortunately became contested. Wendy was great, patient and attentive. The documents drafted were top notch and I loved that they were sent to me to review each time a document was filed. I would definitely recommend Ms. Wendy.

Wendy handled an adoption case for me in Jefferson County Probate Court. The adoption went very smoothly and Wendy was great about getting all of the paperwork drafted and filed quickly. My husband and I were very impressed with Wendy's office and that Wendy kept us informed and up-to-date regularly with how the case was proceeding. I am very pleased with the results and would recommend Wendy to anyone needing an adoption/family law attorney.

Ms. Reese represented me in a child custody case in Jefferson County Family Court. She is very knowledgeable and experience in handling child custody matters. She was able to assist me in understanding the process and facilitate communication with DHR. Wendy was a strong advocate for me and I cannot thank her enough for the countless hours she spent working on my case. We spent numerous hours in court and I was able to watch lots of attorneys and I can say, without a doubt, that Wendy is one of the best. Do yourself a favor and hire her if you are seeking to regain custody of your children.

Over the past several years I have personally had to deal with a divorce, child support, and financial issues from the divorce. Ms. Reese has been absolutely the best in helping me through all of those issues and keeping me focused on the right way to handle them with character and dignity. I would be comfortable in recommending Ms. Reese to anyone. She is awesome! Thanks for all you do.

My case wàs particularly difficult as my ex was not only attempting to end my alimony but also was dragging me through bankruptcy court. Ms. Reese, contacted a bankruptcy attorney to help guide us through the waters. She held my hand through the two year ordeal and never let me give up. The results were better than I could have expected, not only did we get everything we were asking but we also got an increase in my alimony. I highly reccommend Ms. Wendy A. Reese for any of your family court needs.

I retained Wendy Reese to represent my 19 year old granddaughter in a paternity/custody case in March of 2014. She provided us the legal assistance and direction that we needed to CALM a very emotional situation. I really appreciated Wendy's down-to-earth, honest communication style and her calming legal demeanor throughout our legal proceedings. She handled our legal woes very effectively and got the desired results we were seeking. She professionally negotiated a support/visitation agreement that I feel was fair for all parties involved. Most importantly, we retained primary custody and obtained the financial support from the father of the child that was needed to assist this young mother and her child going forward.

Wendy was my child custody attorney in Jefferson County Family Court. My parents filed a petition seeking custody of my children and I hired Wendy to defend me against their petition. I was pleased with my initial meeting with Wendy. She was very clear in explaining how Family Court worked and explaining the process. I was also pleased with how Wendy handled herself in court, fighting for me and my children. She was diligent and effective. I was pleased with the outcome of the case. I retained custody of my children and the case was closed. I have since hired Wendy to represent me in a child support matter and am just as pleased with the services she is rendering in that matter. I would definitely recommend this attorney.

Ms. Reese represented me in a child custody matter. I really appreciated how open and honest she was with me at all times during my case. She really knows the law and is excellent in court. She really fought for me and my daughter. I would not have custody of my daughter today if it was not for Ms. Reese. I recommend her to anyone needing assistance with legal matters involving child custody.

I hired Wendy for a divorce matter. My husband had been threatening me and I needed help quick. Wendy met with me the day after I called. She was very understanding and sympathetic. I thought I would "shop around" for attorneys but after meeting Wendy and her staff and the respect, dignity and confidentiality I was shown, I decided to retain Wendy on the spot. Although this was a very stressful and worry filled time in my life, Wendy did everything she could to reassure me and the frequent communication between her office and myself helped to keep my anxiety at bay. I would HIGHLY recommend the Law Offices of Wendy Allison Reese, LLC to anyone seeking a divorce or child custody attorney in Jefferson or Shelby County, Alabama. This is the best experience I have ever had with an attorney!
