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.

Honest and truthful

What I appreciated most about Heather Fig was her honesty. She always painted both sides. For example, if i said I wanted to do smthg, she would explore the different ways it could all pan out. She told the good and the bad. My ex’s attorney purposely dragged his feet, left things unsigned to cause... delays and just tried to manipulate and “play dirty” to hurt me and my kids. Heather didnt stoop to that level. She stayed honest. Further, even when I was angry she kept me cool and strong! In the end it was very expensive (ugh) and took a lonnnnng time to be completed but Heather did what she could to stay on track and even kept me from falling apart emotionally. She was actually a “friend” through it all. I appreciated that a lot. PS: even the women who work in her office were always smiling, friendly and eager to assist.

Prompt and Honest

I have been dealing with Heather's office for over a year and a half now, and have always had a positive experience. While she was on vacation, she made herself available to me during a very difficult situation, and has always been very prompt and honest with her legal advice.

Honest, direct, and too the point...

Any situation requiring you to seek legal representation is a difficult one, as was mine. In these situations we need real, honest counsel. Heather was clear and direct in managing my expectations, while keeping my best interest in the forefront. With her help, I was able to reach a favorable resolu...tion.

No stars

Run as fast as you can from this attorney. She doesn't protect you or your children. She is a father's rights attorney and cares little about the mother or children. She presents herself in a way which shows she is unaware of battered wife syndrome and it's impact on someone who has been abused. ...
