Worst lawyer you can get in contact with. At the beginning she tries to be nice, but as soon as you hire her. She is an absolute nightmare to work with, not just via the contact you have with her (which is very rude). You will not know what is going on with your case, when you ask she is rude. None the less, the case was lost. Very unprofessional in her job as well as outside her job. She has many owed balances of orders she has placed around the Memphis area with outstanding balances. That she has never returned to pay for. Very unprofessional in her work and outside of her work. Your best choice is to never hire her for any of your services.

I used her not to long ago for a case and was so disappointed. I was told about her and being desperate, I went with her, thinking i could trust her. She's so hard to get in touch with, she will NOT keep up posted on your case. She "says" she's doing what she can, but at the court hearings, she wasn't even trying! That's why I was paying her!! So very disappointed!

We used her recently and were appalled by her lack of professionalism. She is very difficult to get a hold of, she tends to be rather patronizing. She's not a good listener . I wouldn't recommend this lawyer to my worst enemy.

Wendy was great! She truly cared about my case and listened to my concerns and understood what I was going through. She truly understood what me and my family were going through and she did an amazing job. I am truly happy with the results. Me and my family were finally able to get legal status after a long and thorough battle. Gracias Wendy!

Never returns phone calls. Doesn't keep you informed. You are made to feel that you're being troublesome when checking in on your cases' progress. Overall, a huge lack of professionalism. I will not be recommending her services to any other friends or family.

I went to Wendy V Villafana in May of 2012 for an uncontested divorce. Since then I have had so much stress put on my back. She DOES NOT KEEP IN TOUCH with me, she DOES NOT GIVE ME INFORMATION on my case, she HAS REFUSED NUMEROUS TIMES to give me a copy of my file & she DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE PARALEGAL working for her. I hired her for $1000.00 and paid her $500 to start and was supposed to pay another $500 when my divorce was final. And over the phone she asked me to pay her a retainer fee of $500 @ $125 an hour to cover expenses of phone calls to talk to her secretary Debbie, five months into the case...She said, "Quote" (Simply because she could not get a response from the plaintiffs lawyer, she named it "contested divorce"). From the beginning she should have explained the whole process and followed up on my case which she didn't. August 2012 came around and the plaintiff still had not been legally Summoned.. And I had to have a heated argument with Debbie in order for Wendy to take care of that. During that heated argument I said (Wendy has not done anything in my favor and she is never in the office so I can ask her questions personally) Debbie stated, "quote" (That's not true shes always here and if our client's called the office as much as you did we wouldn't never get anything done.) Soon after that heated argument the plaintiffs lawyer addressed the court with a NOTICE OF APPEARANCE, entered August 29, 2012. During the 30 day period for the plaintiff to respond he was picked up on 9-18-12 by IMMIGRATION and has been detained with NO BOND. Since his deportation was acknowledged, Wendy told me by phone (in her rare moments to get in touch with me only upon my request, and I got a phone call well after office hours, on speaker phone, it sounded as if she and others were laughing at me) on 10-02-12 that she was going to tell the plaintiffs lawyer the following day that we were going to move forward with a MOTION OF DEFAULT JUDGEMENT, and that we would have a court date by "next Friday" 10-12-12.... Instead of the court date I received a letter on 10-09-12 dated 10-05-12 demanding the extra $500 payment by 10-31-12 or she would be forced to withdraw from my case. Wendy only called me I believe a total of four maybe five times during my case. All for visitation in favor of the plaintiff and the last call that I had with her on 10-02-12... Her receptionist' seem uneducated about the law and her secretary Debbie is somewhat knowledgeable but mostly had to "ask Wendy and call me back". Which not ONE TIME called me back when she told me she would, I always winded up calling her back. Wendy was very forgetful about EVERY detail in my case, (DNA TEST, POLICE RECORDS, DRUG TEST, VISITATION AND CHILD SUPPORT) I HAD TO REMIND WENDY AND DEBBIE OF EVERYTHING! That's why I called "so much"... In my opinion VILLAFANA LAW OFFICE failed me in every way possible. Legally (did not follow the lawyers rules of professionalism and ethics) and Emotionally (gave me headaches and anger and stress during and after every conversation) . Since the very beginning I have requested copies of everything in my file. And my response from Debbie was always "quote", (well I have let Wendy know so she can go though everything so she can decide what she wants you to have copies of). Which I still don't have!!!! I felt like she was on the plaintiffs side instead of mine. I felt like it was a race thing because I am Caucasian and she prefers Hispanics. Although she is Caucasian she would always mix up her words and speak to me in Spanish acting as if she were Hispanic. Wendy did not do anything for me but file the paperwork. And she asked for more money! Not a good lawyer at all!

Disappointed at her lack of professionalism in handling my husbands case. Calls to her cost me $1000. resulting in vague answers. She calls me to get information from me to add to her reports, but has not once spoked to my husband personally. She prefers me texting instead of calling, and she wont even answer her texts.In my opinion, unfit and undedicated to clients in need. Pam.
