About

Lems Law Office is a family law firm serving Cottonwood Heights and the greater Salt Lake area for over three decades. Led by attorney Wendy J. Lems, the firm specializes in divorce, custody disputes, child support, mediation, paternity, alimony termination, adoption, and post-divorce modifications.

Wendy Lems brings extensive courtroom experience and deep knowledge of Utah family law to every case. She has served as a Pro Tempore Judge in Utah's Justice Courts since 2001, presiding over small claims matters and earning recognition for her fairness, professionalism, and respect for all individuals who appear before her. This judicial perspective informs her approach to client representation, allowing her to understand how judges evaluate evidence and arguments. In recognition of her service on the bench, she received the Friends of the Court honor from South Salt Lake Justice Court.

Beyond the courtroom, Lems maintains active involvement in professional leadership and family law advancement. She has held leadership positions with the Women's Lawyers of Utah and serves as a member of the Utah State Bar's Family Law and Litigation Sections, the American Bar Association's Family Law and Litigation Sections, and the Association of Family Conciliation Courts. She has also provided legal commentary on local and national television regarding family law matters.

The firm takes a personalized, team-based approach to client representation. Rather than treating each case as a transaction, Lems and her team prioritize understanding each client's unique circumstances and goals. Whether a matter involves straightforward mediation or contested litigation, the firm combines practical legal expertise with compassion. The office emphasizes clear communication, detailed attention to client concerns, and strategic planning to help families move forward with confidence during difficult transitions.

Clients consistently describe the firm's service as caring, thorough, and results-oriented. The team handles the complexity of family law—from business valuations in divorce to negotiating custody arrangements that serve children's best interests—while maintaining the empathy necessary when families face major life changes.
