About Heather
Biography
Even after more than fifteen years of practice, I still love what I do. My primary practice area is in estates and trusts, including litigation and gaurdianships/conservatorships as well as family law matters such as divorce and separation. I get to know my clients on a personal level, as I guide them through difficult decisions in their lives, as well as guiding them through the court processes when needed. I also enjoy attending various bar association events and continuing legal education.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate
Was very impressed by her knowledge of the law and her compassion. Showed herself to be aggressive when needed. Composed and unintemidated by the arrogance and unfairness of the judge who presided over our case.
