Excellent Lawyer. Highly Recommended

I utilized Heidi this past year for the legal process of modifying child support following a decrease in salary and some change in my medical circumstances. Working with her was excellent - she guides you the process, explains what is coming, gives you questions to answer to prepare you for upcomin...g steps, and then is realistic with what the likely outcome might be based on what the law or a said judge might determine as it relates to a matter. I ended up getting the results I wanted and the fee she charged was very very reasonable. Working with Heidi, I got a lot of closure associated with divorce and child support that I never had following the original process with a different lawyer who was awful and will go unnamed. I highly recommended Heidi for any family court legal counsel that you may need. Thank you Heidi!

Great Lawyer That Cares

I had Heidi represent me on a very important child custody case that meant a lot to me an my family. I am a African American male and she help me regain custody of my daughter from her mom. I was very nervous but Heidi help calm me down and see me throughout this process. She was very help in my situ...ation. She was always available to talk when I called her, was honest and cared about me situation. She was very organized as well and you can tell this is her passion and she love helping people. She also speaks great in court and got everything across to the judge that I wanted to be heard. Her rates were very affordable as well which was important to me and I would definitely recommend her services if you find yourself in a similar situation. She is a true professional and cares about her clients and I cant thank her enough for protecting me and my family!

God sent!

After a long search for the perfect most affordable attorney for my very complicated custody case of my step-son I was blessed with Heidi. Heidi was one of four attorneys provided to me through the civil justice network. After speaking with all of the attorneys I knew I would be hiring Heidi. She... was prompt with calling me to discuss my case. She was very engaged and answered all my questions. Throughout the course of Heidi's representation, she was always organized, professional, prompt, efficient and extremely detail oriented. I never has an issue with Heidi not responding to an email, providing me with documentation or returning a phone call. Heidi is a passionate attorney! Despite not getting custody of my step-son due to all parties (me, father and biological mom) coming to a visitation agreement in court the day of the trial, Heidi came to trial prepared to win. In my opinion, Heidi is God sent and I am so grateful for her services. I would DEFIANTLY recommend Heidi for any family law case.

Forever Grateful!

Heidi took on my case and was extremely professional. My case was a child custody settlement. As many can imagine family Court is extremely emotional. Heidi made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is a small woman but packed with robust and super power intelligence. She is one of the best at...torneys I have ever met. I recommend her without reservation. She helped me settle with more than I had demanded. She made magic for me let her make magic for you.
