"Wendy worked with me throughout the process of my divorce which included creating a parenting time schedule with my children.  Not only was she wonderful to work with as a person, she is also extremely organized, reliable, intelligent and well known in the field.  Other attorneys and court employees enjoyed working with her which is a plus.  She had great insight into situations and I quickly developed full trust in her judgment and advice.  I would highly recommend her as an attorney and would absolutely work with her again in the future if the need arises." ~anonymous client

"Wendy was referred to me indirectly through another attorney. Having no experience with the process, Wendy was kind, patient, empathetic yet extremely positive and professional.
Her experience really shone as we ran into opposition/ resistance in the process. She was not just highly intelligent in her approach, but also forward-thinking for my present and future well-being. I was very pleased with Wendy’s understanding of the court system and how to navigate for the best result.
Without any doubt, I would highly recommend Wendy for any divorce or family law issue. She is a super individual and attorney who goes to the mat for her client!
I learned so much due to her willingness to educate me and repeatedly re-educate me during a very mentally and emotionally draining time. Thank you, Wendy! Life is Good!" ~anonymous client

"Wendy is an awesome advocate to have on your side when navigating a legal sea. In addition to being a brilliant and pragmatic attorney, she knew exactly what to say to lift my spirits when I was feeling frightened or overwhelmed by the system. My custody case was a bit of a challenge because my former spouse now lives on the west coast, and he initially refused mediation. Wendy worked with his attorney to convince him that it was in our child's best interest to mediate, and then she managed to arrange a session for us to do remotely from her office. Seemingly miraculously, we came to an agreement within a couple of hours. Her expertise and compassion are exactly the right combination to have in your corner. My daughter and I are eternally grateful to her!" ~Natalie

"Divorce is very confusing and stressful and that's even before hiring an attorney. Wendy changed all of that for me. She was an advocate for me and did what she could to make the whole process less stressful. Wendy is extremely thoughtful and detailed oriented. She made sure I would be taken care of and we went through mediation seamlessly. In the end, I got a more than fair settlement and someone I now consider a friend. I will be using Wendy for any future legal matters that arise from my divorce. If you are facing divorce, contact Wendy. Best decision I made." ~anonymous client

April 27, 2016
"I am currently going through a difficult separation and divorce with my wife. It has been difficult not because of any animosity, but because we have three little children together and still care about one another immensely. We only want what is best for our little ones, and also for each other. However, we both realize that after nearly eight years of marriage, and being together for ten, that we probably aren't 'good' for each other. Wendy has helped me, and continues to help, through this difficult process. She is open and candid about the pros and cons of different choices, both legally and otherwise. While my wife and I are working on our own plan to move forward, Wendy has been a very valuable sounding board for both of us, even though my wife has her own attorney." ~anonymous client

I would recommend her to any of my friends." ~Sarah

"I came to Wendy with a very delicate divorce situation - one that needed compassion as well as legal expertise. Wendy went out of her way to ensure that my divorce was handled with my best interest in mind. She came to me when I couldn't get to her to sign necessary documents and even handled an unexpected emergency situation quickly. Wendy and her team were always quick to answer any questions that I had and gave consistent updates on my case. I highly recommend you speak with Wendy if you are entering the divorce process and need someone on your side." ~Melissa

"Wendy was a breathe of fresh air... beyond what I had ever expected in an attorney. She was kind & loving but extremely honest with me during my divorce. She clearly knew the law & wasn't afraid to dig up the facts to best represent me to the judge. Wendy is nothing if not thorough & her attention to detail is unmatched. Integrity is absolutely her guidepost & any opportunity to work with her will prove that. Even now, after three years have passed, I still see the fruits of her investment in my family. She does not take this privilege to serve lightly." ~anonymous client

September 18, 2015
"I needed an attorney and a friend of a friend recommended Wendy. I can not say enough good things about her, she's fair, she's honest, "an honest attorney?", you may ask, and my answer is "absolutely, yes". There were no fees that were hidden, she didn't make false promises, she didn't push me to fight for something that she knew would be in vain. Wendy was excellent in making sure I understood my rights but not overbearing in which direction I should take the divorce. My divorce could have been a lot worse than it was if I had an attorney who's only concern was the amount of money she was going to make from my horrible predicament. I caution you to be wary of the "sharks" their interest is your money, not what is going to be best for you. Wendy is not a shark, she will fight hard for you, believe me, but she won't fight to get all she can out of you. I would recommend Wendy Alton to anybody that needed an honest, fair, caring attorney in a world where very few exist" ~Susan

"In my professional career, I work with many big name and overpriced attorney's on a weekly basis. Yet when I needed at attorney for my own personal needs, I didn't call them.
