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!

Simply the Best.

Heather Fig and her entire staff are outstanding. She knew the law and how to apply it expertly. I was able to reach her at any time. She worked tirelessly and with conviction to represent my interests. She knew the answer to my questions before I even asked. She handled my case as if I were ...family.

An attorney who will work with you and for you!

I hired Heather Fig after using another attorney for 3 years who never progressed my divorce. Heather took control of the case from the initial consultation and continuously advocated for me. Heather and her staff had excellent communication and would respond to my emails or phone calls promptly. Hea...ther was so organized and remembered all details of my case. My ex tried to delay the process with so many delusions but Heather was on top of each accusation and took action. Heather negotiated my divorce and explained, in detail, every step. Her and her staff are so compassionate and understanding. She gave me back my freedom!

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!)

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.
