Horrible lawyer

Would not hire. But if you wanna have to hire another lawyer to fix everything she messes up Go for it I made the mistake of paying thousands of dollars for her to fight for me threw a horriable custody battle she is arrogant she is lazy. Doesn’t call you back and is one of the most money hungr...y and unprofessional lawyers out there that I’ve ever delt with after was all said and done I had a question about what had just happened because she like to trying force u to settle because she doesn’t wanna put any work into your case and doesn’t listen to anything u say. And she had the nerve to tell me well if ur like to pay me more money I’d be happy to assist you.You weren’t worth even 1/100 of what u were payed I have messages from here if she try’s to deny this I had to hire another lawyer just to fix everything she screwed up. Y navelaw firm went out their way to get her is beyond me nave is great her neg I’ve had court appointed lawyers that had just started do a better job and she’s a senior?? Embarrassing thanks heather$$$$$!

Heather is a Godsend...

Heather handled a very stressful family court matter for me and I could not be happier. She always expressed genuine interest in what I had to say and had the ability to keep me on track towards the goal when my emotions distracted me. She was always very organized, responsive and thoughtful. She mak...es you feel like an actual person which seems rare these days and that your concerns are important. I would definitely recommend Heather and this Law Firm.

BEWARE OF HEATHER YOUNGMAN!!!

Heather Youngman did the bare minimum for my custody case. She did more negotiating for the other side than she did for her client. I gave her evidence to support my claims and she did nothing. I doubt she even read any of it. She discouraged me from proceeding to stick up for my rights as a father. ...She only said she was there to give advice. If I wanted “advice”, I’d talk to a therapist. A lawyer is supposed to fight for their client not the opposite side. If you’re looking for a good lawyer, keep looking. Not sure how she passed the bar.

I’m sorry you had this experience. You did not leave your name, so I cannot respond more specifically to your concerns. However, you are right that I always encourage my clients to try to settle a case and avoid trial whenever possible. Trials are unpredictable, and there is no guarantee as to how they will come out. They pit the parents against each other and generally ruin any ability to co-parent in the future. Trials generally destroy what little civil relationship the parties have left, and more importantly, they place the Children in the middle—forcing them to choose sides with the Court and placing tremendous stress and anxiety on them. Sometimes, trials are necessary, and I am more than experienced in litigating custody cases. However, for the reasons listed above, when trials can be avoided, I will always encourage settlement and work diligently to try to find some common ground and resolve the matter. If you would like to contact my office, I would be happy to discuss with you in detail your specific concerns.

Heather represented me during my Child Support Matter in 2016. She provided "extraordinary legal representation" for me, during a very difficult time. Heather Youngman is absolutely superb!!!
