Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I first met Heather when she represented a friend of mine in a divorce/custody issue. She did a great job, achieved positive results, and has continued to provide assistance to this friend over the years. I have not personally worked with her on any matters, but I know that my boss highly recommends her and that we frequently refer clients with Family Court issues to her.
