Heidi Kohler Hotz

I worked with Ms. Hotz over the course of three months on my divorce. From the very first interaction, she was clear in her guidance and responsive to my questions and requests. I could not have had better representation during what was an extremely painful process. So often the legal process makes a... bad situation worse. However, Ms. Hotz made the situation as painless as possible and I gained peace of mind through her work.

Heidi. Is. Amazing. Heidi was different from the start--her integrity shone immediately in our consultation. She wasn't trying to make a quick buck, but gave thoughtful and deliberate consideration to my case to see if she was able to be the best representative for me, both in her expertise and bandw...idth. I believe this allowed her to "give it her all" to my case, which resulted in a great marital settlement for me. She offered suggestions and recommendations for the best next steps of my case, and honored my choice in how to proceed. This set the tone for a collaborative relationship, where my thoughts and opinions were considered every step of the way. She did not needlessly assert her authority, which felt very supportive and respectful to my wishes. She was very sensitive to my financial situation, and even generous enough to offer tailored services that would best accommodate my budget. She is extremely knowledgeable, highly competent, and a fierce yet compassionate advocate. She is also very empathetic and emotionally attuned to the difficulties that the process entails on a psychological level. Most importantly, she is great at communicating and VERY responsive. She prioritizes your case even if it's "small", and allots her time very wisely so that she is available for you every step of the way. Heidi is also personally driven to complete your case with the best outcome for you, and her dedication is much appreciated as I had previously worked with attorneys who had terminated before reaching a settlement for my case. Further, Heidi respects your time and does everything on her part to expedite and move the case along. I know this appears to be baseline, but I had other experiences where I, as the client, had to be on top of ensuring that the case was moving forward. Heidi is also well-informed, trained, and sensitive to domestic violence and trauma, which was a plus for me. Once again, despite "specializing in domestic violence", I've encountered attorneys who are not knowledgeable about the ins and outs of how that plays out in the divorce proceedings. My case is now complete and I've successfully divorced with Heidi's help. She supported and advocated for me to get the best outcome I was hoping for, and I am eternally grateful. What makes Heidi a superb attorney is that she is a good person at her core, and the integrity she brings to her line of work makes her incredibly effective, assertive, and yields the best results for you and your case. 11/10 recommend! Thank you, Heidi! You were truly a saving grace and a great source of relief in my life this season.

Heidi helped me win a very contentious custody case against a very contentious ex-spouse. She was sensitive and caring towards my needs and my child's needs, and was extremely diligent and worked hard on my case. She was very good at strategizing for the big picture, and knowing what to focus on an...d what to put aside. The results were as great as I could have hoped for, and I could not have gotten through this so well without her. She also has been able to advise and help me on other custody and divorce-related matters, so her knowledge base is very wide and useful! I can't recommend her services enough!!
