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!)

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.
