About Heather
Biography
I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Maryland Law school in 2018 with a concentration in Health Law. While attending law school in the evening, I worked full-time as a Parole and Probation Agent for the State of Maryland. Prior to that, I worked in Connecticut as a polygraph examiner for convicted sex offenders. In addition to an extensive background in criminal justice, I have a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from the University of New Haven, as well as Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice.
I have over ten years of experience in the criminal justice field, therefore I am skilled in navigating extremely tense and highly emotional situations. I strive to deescalate even the highest conflict cases, while strongly advocating for my client.
I am barred in the state of Maryland and am a current member of the Maryland Association for Justice (MAJ), the Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA), the Anne Arundel County Bar Association, the Howard County Bar Association, the Baltimore County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, running half marathons and spending time with my family.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Professional, skilled and dedicated to my case
My case was difficult and complex, dealing with not only custody but with relocation of over 1,000 miles. Ms. Shek and her partner attorneys took the case pro-bono, even though they knew they would be putting a great amount of time and effort into it with potentially no return for them, win or lose. ...
