Wendy began her career in insurance coverage and litigation, including the defense of personal injury claims, where she developed courtroom experience and a sharp understanding of how insurers evaluate and manage risk and exposure. She later expanded her practice into immigration law, handling complex matters including T-Visas, U-Visas, adjustment of status, and naturalization petitions. After a period devoted to family, during which she remained engaged in legal and community matters, Wendy returned to litigation practice with a broadened perspective, combining her varied legal background with strong problem-solving skills and practical insight to serve her clients effectively.
Equine Law
Wendy co-founded the firm’s Equine Law practice group, built on more than a decade of active involvement in the equine community as both an industry participant and a litigator. She represents horse owners, trainers, breeders, and equine facility owners across the full range of legal needs facing the industry, including:
- Claims involving equine mortality, loss, and injury
- Personal injury and liability defense arising at boarding facilities, show grounds, and competition venues
- Liability and risk issues facing facility owners and operators
- Negotiating and drafting contracts for horse sales, leases, and lease-to-own arrangements
- Dispute resolution among owners, trainers, and facility operators
Because Wendy has spent years inside the equestrian world herself, she brings a rare fluency in both the legal and practical realities of the industry, from contract negotiations arising from leasing and/or sales with day-to-day practicalities of horse ownership and barn management, to how liability plays out when something goes wrong. That dual perspective allows her to anticipate issues other attorneys might miss and to counsel clients in terms that reflect how the industry actually operates.
