BEST Atty I have ever worked with!

Heather Fig is the absolute BEST attorney I have ever had the pleasure to work with!! Throughout a very long and difficult time, she accomplished more than all of the other attorneys I previously used combined! Her empathetic nature coupled with an extremely common sense approach led us to a place o...f compromise and settlement, and ultimately reunited me with my child. For that, I am forever grateful and forever a client of hers should any needs ever arise again - there is no one else I would ever go to after working with Heather Fig of Sally & Fig! Thank you, Heather… you are a life-saver!

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.

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!!

Divorce/Child support

I have used Heather 2 times in the past 7 years. The first time was to handle my divorce after having a terrible experience with my first lawyer. The next time was for custodial and support appearance. I was completely satisfied how Heather handled my divorce and my recent court appearance. I have re...commended Heather to multiple friends who have all had positive experiences. Heather receives 5 stars from me.
