Well Respected and job well done....

Heather Figs office helped me strategically plan my downward modification. We set realistic goals considering for every action there is a reaction and to keep your emotions out of the process. Her diligence, demeanor and posture in the courtroom showed she is a proven professional in the field. The... interpersonal skills with Judges and her piers helped me move through the "process" on a timely fashion. She kept me involved so I could make intelligent decisions.

Prepared for battle

I was already in an established difficult position from prior Family Court case, that never seem to end. Unfortunately my prior attorney was not prepared and I paid the consequence. Fortunately a close friend referred me to Heather Fig. Immediately she listened and spoke very clear as to my situation.... Never telling me what I wanted to hear, telling me the truth. She is caring, she returns calls and fights like a Lion for her clients. And yes, she is meticulously prepared for every single court appearance.

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!!

Maybe Out Trish

I am lucky to have Heather Fig as my attorney. She is positive and informative at a time when I need it most. She has been handling my divorce in a professional timely manner, being able to show empathy and understanding throughout this difficult process. She alleviated unnecessary stress, allowi...ng me to focus on things that matter. I could not ask for more.
