Highly recommend Heather for Long Term Disability claims

Heather is very knowledgeable in the area of long term disability. I could not be happier with the way she handled my case. I would highly recommend this firm for anyone who needs help after their long term carrier has denied their claim.

Professional and knowledgeable

Heather Petitmermet performed her duties as our attorney in a thoroughly professional manner. My wife and I always had complete confidence that our case was being handled to achieve the best and proper outcome. We were, at all times, promptly informed of any issues involving our case and situation. S...he was also, quite simply, a pleasure to work with. We could not recommend Heather Petitmermet more highly.

An Attorney You Can Trust

Heather has a calm, present and relational style. I felt like we were a team through the whole process. She kept me informed, took my suggestions and listened to my concerns. Heather seemed to know the ropes and handled my case to a satisfactory settlement.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
