Heather Larson Pedersen

Over the last three years, Heather and her team expertly navigated not one but two custody cases and a protracted divorce. Because of Heather’s expert legal knowledge, my custody matters turned out better than I imagined. My divorce was a significant challenge and because of Heather and her team’s di...ligence, understanding of the law and patience, we were able to navigate all the legal hurdles. You can ask for no better lawyer when it comes to family law, and I feel blessed to have had her and her team on my side.

I had the opportunity with Heather Pedersen and her office staff for the past few years. She professionally guided me and my children through a very contentious divorce case. I was very satisfied with Heather’s determination and guidance through the divorce process. Heather and her team were atten...tive to my family needs. Heather’s law knowledge, timely communication, passion, and understanding of the situation is why I highly recommend using Heather for any litigation needs you might have. I am very appreciative of Heather and her team. Adam

I honestly won't be able to fit all the good things there are to say about Mrs. Pedersen and her firm into this review. She picked up my extremely difficult case, listened to all the details and complications, interpreted the matter in its full complexity and translated it into a simple path of succ...ess. I found her to be irreproachable in all matters, while unequivocally advocating and fighting for my family and our long-term, best interest. I would recommend her for any and all family matters: local, county, state, federal or international. She was always found to be prepared for hearings with a clear and convincing plan while her ability to advocate in the court house and the court room, before the hearing, throughout the hearing and all the other times afterwards, was simply outstanding. She is highly respected and is constantly working your case, even when you aren't present. This is a powerful combination. In Williamsburg, if you want what is good and right for your family and your family's future, then based on my experience, her firm is the one to choose.

I was referred to Ms. Pederson by another attorney who could not handle my case due to a conflict. Her services were needed to manage a fairly straight forward case of family law. I was very disappointed by her lack of contact in the days, weeks and months leading up to the hearing, a significant del...ay in the hearing that was necessitated by a scheduling error on her end (she double booked) and overall lack of preparedness when it came time to have the case heard. I had assembled all of the information that had been requested; and yet on the way to the courthouse, it became clear that she did not have the materials I had sent with her. I scrambled to find a printer, etc. in the hour leading up to the hearing but even with them in hand, there was no time for her to review them. During the hearing, it became clear that she was not familiar with the specific terms in my decree and therefore, the legal advice she had given me leading up to the case was not applicable. In the face of that, she was cavalier and rejected all accountability. I have dealt with many attorneys professionally and have 2 close friends who are attorneys. Her conduct is by far the most unprofessional I have witnessed - and even the way she speaks to and about her staff leaves one feeling uncomfortable. It is my understanding that she is relatively new to the profession, and I encourage all who would consider engaging her for something as critical as family law, to look elsewhere. I later retained a very experienced and highly recommended attorney, who achieved the outcome I had originally sought. I hesitated to take my comments to the internet, but have been encouraged by family friends as well as a District Attorney friend to share my story so that others might benefit.
