Heather R McCabe

I found McCabe Russell using regular old google. I checked out their website and decided to give them a call. I left a message not expecting anyone to call back like the 10 firms before… but Heather McCabe called me back directly within an hour. I explained the reason for my search (divorce & cust...ody) and she patiently answered all of my questions. I came in for a formal consultation to further discuss my legal needs. After that meeting, I was thoroughly impressed with Heather’s calm demeanor. She listened as I described my situation in rose-colored, heart-broken glasses. She had an uncanny ability to decrypt what I said to her and understand what I was up against before I could even see what that could be. She saw through the years of denial, hurt and pretending everything was OK. I naively believed that my husband wouldn’t walk all over me in the divorce like he did in our marriage. She protected my children and I from threats I couldn’t even dream may be coming. Heather answered my questions over and over again with the same amount of patience and respect as the first time I had asked. She went through everything with me until I felt confident with the action I wanted to take. She is dedicated to her clients and works incredibly hard to deliver results that her clients will be happy with. She is kind and patient, but is a force to be reckoned with when need be. Every time I see Heather, she asks by name how my family is doing, how my new job is and how I am doing. She remembers the details and asks because she genuinely cares to hear the response. I am very grateful for that return phone call nearly two years ago. I will never forget Heather’s endurance to fight through my ex’s constant stone walling, multiple lawyers he circled through and absolutely asinine claims/requests. I’ve recommended her personally to a few friends and am happy to recommend her here publically to you.

I hired Heather to deal with my child support and custody case a little while ago. I'm surprised she has an Avvo rating of 10 because she was terrible. The worst part of working with her was her communication. I would send her emails asking her questions about my case and she would send a response wi...thout addressing those questions. However, I would still get billed for that time. Furthermore, I was highly disappointed when we had a court hearing. It was clear to me that the other party's attorney was much better prepared and that Heather was not. After hiring a different attorney later on in the case, I had much better results.
