HEATHER IS A GIFT FROM HEAVEN! (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)

“I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and were treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Heather fought hard for me. She went above and... beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. My case was about 4 years ago. Heather has reached out to me every year, numerous times per just to see how my children are doing. She has a big heart and kind soul. Thank You Heather and your Great Staff! Sincerely Zorina

Very happy with all services provided by Keith Law

I was very satisfied with Keith Law which handled my divorce case. I was happy with all services offered by Keith Law, particularly Heather Keith. She was very supportive of me throughout the entire process, and I felt she always had my back. She did everything she could to make the outcome as posi...tive as it can possibly be under the circumstances. I was always treated kindly by her entire staff, which helped to make things that much better. I was grateful to have chosen Heather as my attorney!

Fantastic Attorney

Heather did everything and more. Not even in reference to concepts like financials or the custody aspect, but in regards to everything in my divorce. She constantly was on top of things, was always there to calm me down by explaining the process, and let me know that things would work out despite my ...fears they might not. Heather is the kind of attorney that makes you sleep at night, knowing that your case is in the hands of someone who is competent AND confident. Her staff also consistently got me things in a very timely manner, as well as ensured that messages got to her when needed (shout out to Sarah, her paralegal!). Every court appearance, Heather was there with her information, prepared, and always put forth a professional effort. Her documents and all correspondences with the opposing attorney and the court were not only impeccable, they were positive and honest representations of me and my desires for my divorce. Throughout the ups and downs, the twists and turns of my case, Heather was the rudder that steered me safely, that allowed me to maneuver the storms of divorce without losing my mind. I couldn't have asked for a better captain in the tempest that I was in. I'll put it simply - I could go on and on about how great she was, and how important the efforts and professionalism of a divorce attorney are, but truthfully, I couldn't have had a better person working for me. It's that easy - if you or anyone you know is going through a divorce, and you want a trustworthy, hardworking, badass attorney - come to Heather.

Highly Recommend

I worked with Ms. Keith for years on my case and she was nothing short of amazing. The entire time we worked together she was caring, understanding and gave me her full attention. Not only did Ms. Keith help me resolve my case (in my favor) but she also helped me understand what I needed to do for my...self and for my child to keep our lives moving forward in a positive direction. I would highly recommend Ms. Keith to anyone!

Avvo Rating

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.
