Not Reliable

Heather represented me in a custody case. She felt overwhelmed by the opposing attorney and asked me to sign a document one day before court releasing her from representing me. She made no mention of any refund on the $10,000 retainer already paid. I refused to sign the form. She showed up in cour...t and brought all my documents. Then she told the judge she couldn't represent me, shoved the box of paperwork toward me, and left. She's not someone you can count on.

Awful, Unprofessional and Extremely Disrespectuful

This woman has no right having any sort of law degree. She is a disgrace to the Law Community. After dealing with her as long as I have and reading other reviews, I know I’m not the only one that feels this way. If you want someone who is not going to do her job to the best of her ability, be lazy an...d disrespect you, this is the lawyer for you. This is her game, she continues to move the cases so she can get more money. I tried contacting her several times through phone calls for weeks, of course no reply. Her office is based out of her home, and all documents are not secured. When we met, she was extremely disrespectful and unproffesional. Please inform others of how terrible she is. She should lose her license and never be able to be in this profession again.

Last Minute and unprepared

Heather Embrey was recommended by a colleague I work with, I met with her and asked her who she thought the best attorney was int he area for my case. She stated that no other attorney will fight like her. I retained her services. I am a busy professional, I hired her to put the roadmap together an...d assist with the details, You guessed it , it fell 100% on me. Where I became upset was when I was notified of the first hearing and I felt unprepared, never did she or her office reach out to me in the 2.5 month's they had my paperwork to state what was needed, she arrive disorganized and not prepared we looked horrible compared to the other attorney who was the opposite. She was brash with me and unprofessional. Court Case took place I stated to heather that we need a reset. three weeks pass, nothing, night before I get a email literally laying out the order, I had some disagreements and really wanted to discuss but felt stressed and under a time constraint. I asked her to fix some things. Midnight a email comes across basically advising me she is terminating our relationship. I must say, that I think this is her Mode of Operation 6,000.00 dollars later. I would say that Ms. Embrey is probably the most unprepared attorney I have ever witnessed and was horrible in front of the Judge. I would state to anyone please find an attorney that will guide you, will respect you and will have the professional experience and expertise to navigate you through this most stressful event.
