Great Attorney who is Straight up.

Heather is a very good Attorney who gives it to you straight up and pulls no punches. I had a lot of mental health issues that were going on with me during my case. Heather at times was caring and understanding , but it was challenging for her at times also I feel. We worked out our differences I be...lieve in a positive way. She really researched and went over the records with a fine tooth comb. She and her partner Clifford Strike work well together which lead to a positive result in my case.. I found it was most productive to set up phone meetings to go over my case and questions with Heather. As emails are not the best way to communicate with her or any Attorney on the important matters so as to get a full understanding of the case and options yo have. I would recommend Heather and stress the importance of the phone calls to communicate with her as it was what got the best results for me. Thank you Ms. Gonzales for all your hard work and efforts you put into my case.
