I love what I do. Every day, I'm honored that my clients choose our firm to represent them and assist them through a difficult time and into a better place. Litigation is not for every client or every lawyer, but we believe that some cases rightfully result in trials. Whether mediation, collaborative law, or litigation is the right course for you, excellence, discretion, compassion, and professionalism are the hallmarks of our firm's philosophy.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my children (ranging in age from 15 to 3), running, and reading.

Outstanding
Heather is a very confident lawyer and that's because she is intelligent and puts 100% passion into her cases. She helped me win an uphill battle because of her endurance and integrity and I am forever grateful.
"I highly recommend Heather R. McCabe. She is aggressive, intelligent and has superior litigation skills. If you are searching for an attorney to represent you in Maryland, Heather is the right choice."
"Heather is a smart, thoughtful, thorough and tough lawyer. She is the consummate advocate without being unreasonable or heavy handed. She knows where to push for her client, and when to hold back. When she is on the other side of a case I know that her client is well represented."
"I endorse this lawyer. Heather provides thorough, competent and compassionate representation in the challenging practice area of family law. I highly recommend her."
"Whether doing trial work or writing a settlement agreement, Heather is everything you'd want in a family law and divorce attorney. She is a client-focused, top-notch litigator and trial attorney. She is both experienced and well-respected. And she loves her work. She has offices in both Howard County and Montgomery County, Maryland."
