BE AWARE!

She will not fight for you. She dropped me in the middle of a traumatic divorce. Annette does not communicate well, return calls, or emails. She took my money and ran. She did not present evidence in court , she wasn’t prepared, just went along with what the other party said. She isn’t a fighter she ...is not in the right field or position. Don’t hire her, hire someone who cares

Replied last August 16, 2023

Ms. Booker, As was stated by you in court yesterday, I withdrew after your account was over twenty days past due. My motion was not intended as a personal attack on you or a judgment of your character. As to your review, notably, over your objection to my request to be allowed to withdraw from your case, the judge granted the withdrawal. I do wish you the best and truly do care, but I do have to run a business and my billing rates and procedures are set forth in the fee agreement signed by us both. And I make it a practice of working with people in regards to access to legal services and payment options when discussed timely with me. Further, only after I filed my motion to withdraw and yesterday's court, have I heard these concerns about my trial work. I am befuddled by this review due to just yesterday you were objecting at court on the record to the judge releasing me from representing you in your case. Regardless, you are right that family court is hard for all involved and I wish you the best and Godspeed.

Amazing - The Best

Ms. Heim is meticulous, experienced, knowledgeable, hard working, and no-nonsense. She listens and then acts in the best interest of her clients to ensure that their concerns are properly addressed. She is professional, thorough, honest, and trustworthy. Rest assured that she will represent you we...ll. I would give her 10 stars if I could. She is amazing.

Poor value

I put this lawyer on retainer at the suggestion of my lawyer based out of Charlotte. She would help with matters in the event my case went to court in Concord. I was able to settle with the other party and never needed her services. However, she is unwilling to reimburse me the money she was paid eve...n though she spent zero time on my case. This is bad business!!

Best Counselor in the area

Annette, ask her about helping me and she might say, "I had to wear many hats when helping Rick through his separation and divorce." Ask me and I would say Annette's artful understatement is only half of my story. A former military Captain, I sought black and white solutions but Annette showed me ...that relationships aren't "black and white." She guided me with business discussions, family discussions and tax discussions over many months and more importantly helped me retain my mind during the emotional strains that occur when trying to resolve over 2 decades of a relationship. Annette's humility and kindness will stay with me forever as she helped me with the complexities that children, husbands and wives must untangle to find peaceful resolutions. I cannot express my gratitude enough...Annette is the best!!! Call her asap and she'll help you too!!! Rick

She has been absolutely amazing, she has Continuously fought for what’s best for the child and has helped my husband and I every step of the way. She works super hard for her clients and it shows in everything she does. Annette and Kay they are so kind and she will listen to you and just be honest wi...th you.
