Lems Wendy J Atty

Wendy Lems is one of the worst attorneys that I have ever had to deal with. From the get go it was obvious that she cares more about the money than about you. Trust me. She charges 85.00 to leave a 10 second message on your phone. When I confronted her she was cold, snotty, and uncaring. She overlooked many judicial procedures that she should have done and after thousands of dollars paid to her we were no further ahead than when we started. We would have been so much better off to have paid a different attorney and actually got something done that to waste so much time and money with an uncaring, unprofessional attorney like her. We offered to take the bill to the mediating process that the law association offers. She refused and we ended up paying thousand of dollars for very poor representation. Save yourself a lot of money and grief. Keep looking.

I can’t begin to tell you what Wendy and her staff have done for me. First of all Wendy was recommended to me by a friends step dad that had his own counsel, and ended up going to court and facing off with Wendy 13 years earlier. He said Wendy was a bulldog in court room and was clearly in a different class than his counsel, which came highly recommend to him at the time. To make along story short Wendy got everything she asked for, for her client.
Fast forward13 years later my friend was going through a rocky divorce. His wife and her attorney were making outlandish claims and demanding an astronomical amount of child support for their two kids. Well my friends step dad found his papers from 13 years prior and gave the contact information to him. He claimed the lady that took him to the cleaners at the time was the best, most thorough attorney he had ever seen. Well the attorney that represented his ex-​wife was none other than Wendy Lems. Now to make this long story short. My friend ended up having to go to court and he ended up getting everything he wanted.
Now this past April my ex-​wife had ORS review my wages and they sent me a note saying my child support is going to double. After talking to my friend about this he gave me Wendy’s contact information and I called her to set up an appointment. After I met with Wendy and her staff I decided to retain her. She went through all my information as well as my ex’s and she also discovered some new troubling information. Wendy than wrote some of the harshest, most serious papers I have ever seen and served them to my ex. My ex and I later agreed to modify our original divorce decree to a true ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ split this kept it out of court, and my child support even went down from what I had been paying.
Wendy is the most professional, thorough, detailed oriented person you will ever meet. Her assistant Kayla was amazing too. In a state where you are told the man can never win, I have known personally 3 men including myself that Wendy has represented, with each one getting exactly what they wanted and two of them actually having to go to court.
Going through this divorce modification is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Whenever I felt like I was defeated or like giving up Wendy always made me feel better and she always made herself available for me. In fact Wendy called me one night clearly after hours to make sure I was alright and address concerns I had earlier in the day.
Other attorneys you ask about Wendy will say she is very good, but expensive. However I’m telling you as a normal non lawyer citizen there is clearly a difference when Wendy writes up a paper and an opposing counsel writes one. There is so much detail in Wendy’s documents compared to the opposing counsels. Also if your going through the hardest most difficult thing in your entire life by going through a divorce, or modification. Why wouldn’t you pay a little extra knowing every single detail is in there and written and documented correctly? That’s why I will always highly recommend Wendy Lems as an attorney.
