"I have been opposing counsel on several family law cases with Heather. She has always been professional, courteous, and responsive to requests. I especially appreciate that she tries to resolve the issue at hand considering what is best for the family and children, as opposed to running up costs."
"Heather is a great advocate for her clients and really cares about helping get them through their cases in the best possible position. It is always a pleasure to work with an attorney with integrity like Heather."
"Attorney Sekella conducts her business and represents her clients with professionalism, compassion. She has vast experience in Family Law matters and brings this to every matter in which she becomes involved. I have had cases against her and also conducted mediations with her over the past 15+ years. In every matter, she has advocated her client's cause with knowledge, civility and skill. I highly recommend her as a trusted attorney in New Hampshire. Peter D. Goldsmith, Esquire"
