Definitely Recommend

Over the course of several years we used multiple services. If memory serves, we started off with wills and powers of attorney and those sorts of things. We were pleased, and continued to use other services, as needed. She helped us refinance our house a couple of times, and also helped us sell our h...ouse. We had some issues with the buyer, and Heather secured a few concessions for us. We were impressed!

Contract

Heather Darling is my corporate attorney and always available when I need her. She is very knowledgable in all aspects of corporate law and contractual agreements. She has supported me for many years not only in my business, but in my private matters as well. She made my first home buying a breeze ...as she was there to explain everything to my ability to understand before I signed my name on all the dotted lines! I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs.

Extremely professional and helpful lawyer. I seek her advice for all critical business matters.

Heather is an asset for my business. I rely on her for all critical issues and she has actually been very crucial in a few business matters where her timely advice protected us from a possible issue. I would recommend her service to anyone who is serious about running a successful business.

Non Responsive

I found this attorney online. She has her name listed on a number of websites stating she has a free consultation, but when you call the office you are told that she charges $300 for an hour consultation. Then, she's usually late or doesn't show up for the appointment. The consultation is almost w...orthless because she couldn't answer any of my questions. She puts herself out as an expert in family law but knows very little. It is nearly impossible to speak with her on the phone as she refuses to return any calls. I feel like she was hiding from me. But, every month I get bills with all the work that was "completed" yet I never get to actually see what she is doing. I would not recommend you use this attorney. She does not respond to phone calls and did nothing except collect her check.

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.
