Review Heather Steele

My attorney for a case to terminate a lease due to the tenant's violation of a lease term.

Business Partner Divorce

Posted by

Heather is a true professional and knowledgable in many aspects of law. She made herself available anytime I needed to talk and was great at keeping me in check in the mist of a messy business divorce. Heather always took the extra moments to think things through and never accepted inappropriate behavior from the other side. She spent tireless hours on my case with a positive outcome. I gained an attorney and a friend who I can turn to at any time.
