Excellent

I worked with Heidi for over a year on my divorce. Not only was she patient but she was kind & kept my family in mind during this difficult time. She was very knowledgeable & kept costs to a minimum. Emails were quickly returned & legal jargon made simple. I would not hesitate to use Heidi Risser aga...in for any legal matter.

Great Advice and Appreciated her time

I consulted with Heidi regarding my steps in resolving upheaval in raising my son with his mother. A great conversation was had and great advice was passed to me. Unfortunately the other side jumped the gun before we could work with Heidi. Heidi, a true professional, referred me to another att...orney who was geared better towards the litigation my case was moving toward. I am deeply grateful to her for both her insight and referral. I will definitely use refer Heidi.

she's good

Heidi was great with helping to sort out all the details of my case. Once she had a clear understanding of the matter, she was diligent about making certain that my side was the case was heard. She worked hard to make sure we could settle without having to go to court. She is concerned about the pers...on she is representing and making sure she does what's best for those involved. It was a pleasure working with her.
