DIVORCE

I met Heidi after being recommended by another client who had used her for their divorce. After having moved on from my first hired attorney, who did nothing, Heidi was able to handle the changeover of documents and proceed with speed and attention to settle the divorce as quickly as possible. I felt... she always had my back with regards to what assets should rightfully be awarded to me. She was always in contact and upfront with costs to me during the process. She was able to advise me as to what was best for me and provide guidance for future matters. She also was able to settled the entire process within 6 months. I would definitely recommend her with confidence.

STAY AWAY

After hiring Heidi for a simple divorce, she dragged me and my children through Supreme Court System wiping me out of all my money, not securing child support, legal fees way over $40K which is 2x's my salary!! After getting no where with my case but well padded pockets for her prior firm, she up and... QUIT!!! The law firm not only left me to try and defend myself in Supreme court, they froze my bank account, took me to court, and now I must pay for the next 10 YEARS!!! Do not believe her when she says "we're almost at the end, just a little bit longer." STAY FAR FAR AWAY she is a vulture only out for herself NOT her client.

Divorce

I went to Ms Applebaum for a child support case that my ex husband was years in arrears. She was professional as well as compassionate. During the work up for the case and the trial began, my ex husband passed away in the middle of the trial. Ms. Applebaum refused to accept any payments from me even... though she had already invested her time on trial. I feel her expertise and knowledge regarding matrimonial and child support were way above any lawyer i have ever consulted in the past. I highly recommend Ms. Applebaum for all areas of her discipline.

Professional, Upfront and Compassionate

I hired Heidi for what I thought would be a simple divorce. She explained each step of the way and helped to make a difficult situation bearable. She and her staff were kind, caring and available at all times. From beginning to end Heidi went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensu...re a great outcome for me and my children. Not only did she make this smooth and easy, she did it quickly and without putting me in the poor house.
