Excellent experience

Recently, I went through a divorce, and I am incredibly grateful to have had Heidi as my attorney. From our very first conversation on the phone, I knew she was the right person to guide me through this challenging time. Heidi's empathy shone through in every interaction; I felt genuinely valued, ...supported, and cared for. In contrast, my previous conversations with other attorneys left me feeling like just another number, merely another caller seeking divorce assistance. Throughout the entire process, Heidi treated me like I was her only client. She took the time to answer all of my questions, no matter how big or small, ensuring that I felt informed and at ease. Her compassionate approach made a world of difference during such a stressful period in my life. If you find yourself facing a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation. She is a remarkable advocate who genuinely cares about her clients.

Excellent and thorough

Heidi Hotz is an amazing lawyer. She listened to my concern and was hesitant at first to file for a divorced since I’m a victim of domestic violence, however she talked to me step by step of what I need to do while undergoing the process and gave me the courage. She is available to answer my questio...ns via telephone and emails. She’s put me at ease with the process. She’s very detailed, fast and compassionate. Her rate is also economical and justifiable unlike any other law firms. My divorced is quick. Definitely recommend her and give her 5 star rating. Thank you so very much Heidi.

Paternity Case Client

Heidi helped to resolve my paternity case with a high level of professionalism. Heidi was well-spoken and articulate during initial calls. She spent the time over the phone to lay out a plan for my case months before I hired her at my time of need. She was incredibly knowledgeable and knew the releva...nt case law to a deeper extent than other family lawyers I had called. During each step of the process, Heidi updated me on what was going on. Overall costs for her services were reasonable and transparent. I highly recommend Heidi Kohler Hotz to anyone seeking family law services.

Straight to the point and kind

After numerous calls to different firms that didn’t give me clear answer about pricing or process.I finally came across attorney Hotz who told me what needed to happen and gave me a fair price. I was updated throughout the entire process and she made this divorce as pain free as possible. I highly re...commend her!

Top Notch

I hired Heidi Hotz for my divorce case and was very glad I did. Divorce is a complicated process and she was clearly on top of things throughout, while keeping me both informed and prepared for all hearings. She made sure I understood all aspects of the process, answering all my questions, and alwa...ys had my back. Heidi was very accessible and I always dealt with her directly, never through a paralegal. I will be going to her for all future family law needs.
