Heather Fig

Heather was my lawyer for my divorce. She never acted as an advocate or as though she was on my side at all. Most of the parameters of the divorce were my idea, there were times when the alimony my ex was offering would stop me from being able to move on with my life; stop me from living with someo...ne, or remarrying, and I told her that these were things I wanted in the next few years and asked how she could help remedy this with a different agreement. She never came up with any solution and I had to come up with an idea to change the alimony to a one time payment; thanks but I am paying you to think of things like this! She would never respond to my emails when there were very pressing maters. She left me nervous and stressed for days without returning phone calls. When most of our business had concluded she insisted on emailing me outside of business hours; I would get emails from her at 11 pm! I explained that I don't like to receive these emails, and she never showed any respect for this and just continued to call, email whenever she wanted; now that nothing important was on the line, she seemed fine working outside of business hours, why couldn't I get this kind of service when I needed it?? When there were very stressful maters that arose?? She also would often be chewing gum in our meetings, which is so unprofessional. The last thing I will mention was quite a serious issue; she drafted a letter to my ex husband about an insurance payment, she emailed it to me and asked me to approve it prior to it being sent; but then she just sent it over to him anyway. He and I had already worked this out, but upon receiving the letter he got upset about it again and this ended up COSTING ME MONEY. He had agreed to pay himself, after he got this unapproved letter from MY lawyer he went back on the defensive and insisted I pay him back, so mown lawyer sent a letter, without approval, and it ended up costing me money. She is not reliable, she got many things wrong in my case, and she just never seemed to be a person I could count on or turn to during a very difficult time. I don't believe she got me the best settlement, and my experience with her was worse than that with my ex!

I was a client of Heather Fig in a divorce negotiation. I was very disappointed with how she handled the case. One time her staff and herself included information in the divorce agreement that I never was told about and only after reading the final draft did it become apparent. Another instance I was... given entirely erroneous information about court proceedings and was had papers arrive weeks after they were suppose to because they sent them to my past address from 2 years ago. Dont use this attorney.
