Posted by Claudia | January 26, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Divorce Settlement

I consulted with a number of top divorce attorneys in MD (six, to be exact) since I was very aware that my divorce would not only be highly contentious but would also involve a number of subpoenas. My consultation with Heather felt far different than the others. I clearly remember walking away from o...ur meeting feeling hopeful, but, more importantly, feeling like I was heard. Giving earnest thanks is daunting. One hopes to choose words that convey the amount of gratitude they feel. My divorce turned out to be far more challenging than I expected and lasted nearly 18 months. Heather kept in constant communication with me, and she was beyond outstanding in not only explaining the steps of the divorce process clearly to me but also embracing my many emotional meltdowns, anxiety, and frustration with this grueling process. Heather’s genuine devotion and compassion for her clients, besides her outstanding knowledge of the law, is innate of the kind of person she is. Her work ethic and remarkable professional representation on my behalf resulted in a settlement far more beneficial and rewarding for me than I could have possibly hoped. Heather was relentless and fought tirelessly for me. I never write reviews but wanted to share with others the recommendation in which I was blessed to receive from a close friend, whom Heather also represented. I couldn’t possibly recommend Heather more highly. I’m forever indebted to her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
