Heather Fig is Exceptional and Custody Expert

Ms. Fig has represented me now on two separate Appellate issues in my Custody cases and I can not rave more about her professionalism and knowledge. In over eight years she is the only attorney to have found illegal issues during my proceedings. She has the bedside manner most doctors could never hav...e, let alone for an attorney. She truly cares about her clients and the cases that she takes on. This is clearly not just a position for her, but her passion to help those that need her the most. I trust Ms. Fig and her staff not just with my case, but with the wellbeing of my children in the custody matters. I wish there were words that could appropriately describe my appreciation for her time, effort and knowledge.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I met with Heather to discuss my divorce. From our first meeting she was upfront and honest. Always leading me in a good direction when it came to going to court and counsel on which was the best way to proceed and she never had be waste money on frivolous motions. Throughout the divorce proceedin...gs when my ex-husband's attorney was unethical we always took the high road and did not stoop to their level Heather Fig is a class act and a great attorney and I would highly recommend her to anybody. I can give her five stars *****.

Excellent Attorney

Heather was very professional in her approach from day one. She was patient and listened. Anytime we had a question or concern she always answered or called us back in a timely manner. Our dealings with her staff were pleasant. She did a great job. If you need a good attorney who knows the law then ...I️ recommend you call Heather Fig

Can't Imagine Using Anyone Else

Heather was my divorce attorney and I honestly couldn't imagine using anyone else. My divorce was tough; it involved some domestic violence issues that were emotionally taxing, however, Heather and her staff always made me feel like they had it completely under control and their advice was unpara...lleled. I never once questioned her judgement; she always talked me through the "plan," as she called it, and would reassure me if I freaked out. I knew that I wasn't her only client, but whenever I was in her office or on the phone with her she definitely made me feel like my divorce was top priority, and that was super comforting. I know that legal issues take time, and my divorce was no different, but I felt like she was always doing her best to move things along while also advocating for the best possible outcome on my behalf. I feel that at the end of it all, I had the best-case scenario. She's definitely a no BS attorney, always very upfront and honest. If I had an idea that would run me into accruing unnecessary legal fees, she would let me know. I appreciated that because I'm not independently wealthy and it made me trust her more knowing that she wasn't in it to just jack up her cost; she truly wanted what was best for me. I just knew I could trust her with anything, and that's exactly how you want to feel when you're going through a tough divorce. I have recommended her to friends, and I would certainly use her again. (Hopefully I won't have to!)
