Realistic

I retained Heather for my very complicated and messy divorce. My ex had filed false reports, had me removed from my home and began alienating me from my 3 children. She also had psychological problems. Heather and her staff have been very professional and supportive. Heather outlined many scenarios, ...best and worst case, keeping my expectations realistic. When things became very emotional, her staff would take my calls and let me vent while they took notes. Heather’s experience in the courtroom served me well too. Nothing ever goes perfect but she was able to help us stick to our game plan. I couldn’t be happier with how I was treated and how things went.

Best lawyer ever!!

In the past 11 years on at least 5 occasions I have ran to Heather for help. Every single time she has made me feel comfortable and made me feel like I was her number one priority. Even when I didn't have any fight left in me, she snapped me out of it and won every single time. My ex not only bashed ...me in my kids schools but in my very small town and Heather discredited him and proved that I was a good person and a great mom. I would recommend Heather to anyone...i wouldnt go to anyone else!!

So grateful

Ive had the privilege of having Heather represent me on several occasions & i wouldnt have had it any other way! She is nothing short of the best! Heather is knowledgeable, professional, fair, prompt & always had my best interest at heart. Whenever i would freak out or get overwhelmed through the pro...cess, she was always there, whether through email or phone calls, to answer any questions i had and put my mind at ease. She made going through what was such a tough time in my life, that much easier! For that...i am grateful.

FULL CUSTODY

I can not complain, although i thought my case would go fast which honestly that was my fault, not knowing that these types of cases go as they come! She was very supportive through it all, maintained our emails and also phone calls. She told me to be still all will fall into place. I put my faith an...d her and allowed my case to play run its course. She had a great deal of enthusiasm and was determined to bring the case to a positive outcome! And so it was!!!!! She respected my feelings and understood. She performed her job with ZEST and PROFESSIONALISM I will always use her from this day forward and I highly recommend :) Now my daughter will live in a safe DRUG FREE home where she will have the love she needs and we can move forward.

Divorce

From the moment I walked into her office, I knew she was the one and she continually fought for me and was there for me every step of the way. I would refer her if anyone needs a divorce lawyey in a second.
