Divorce

Heather is a competent and caring lawyer. I divorced after 38 years of marriage, and she guided me throughout the entire process. E mails were answered promptly. I was updated on the progress. I have absolutely no complaints. She comes highly recommended.

Wonderful, compassionate lawyer

Heather is wonderful. She handled my divorce for me. During what was an extremely difficult time in my life she made the whole situation calming, quick and smooth. Everything was handled professionally , honest and supportive. I would not have wanted anyone else to represent me during that time. High...ly recommend Heather and her staff.

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.

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.

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.
