Nia O

Last year I was a freshman in college, and I was assaulted while on campus. My situation resulted in an adverse action where I was facing possible expulsion from school and a loss of my academic scholarship. I had zero clue how to deal with this situation and my parents were in a different state. M...y parents and I reached out to Ms. Heather Scalzo and from our first contact, Ms. Scalzo was very knowledgeable, helpful, and reassured us that we had a chance to beat the allegations. Ms. Heather was patient with all of our questions and concerns, she was honest and transparent, and properly advised on next steps. Ms. Heather set up calls with us, sometimes after normal work hours and stayed in constant communication with me on the status of my case. On the day of my hearing, she was there with me, and she encouraged me to speak my truth and reassured me she would assist with whatever was needed. At the end of it all, everything worked itself out, thanks to the correspondence and legal assistance of Ms. Heather Scalzo. All the false allegations were dropped, my expulsion was removed, and I was able to go on with my life. My family and I will forever be grateful to Ms. Heather for all her help and legal expertise during a very difficult and scary time for me.

Save your money!

If you are looking to waste $10,000, Heather is a great option! Terrible customer service, terrible communication and terrible responsiveness. I am a successful small business owner and I can assure you…you will walk away extremely disappointed with your experience with Heather Scalzo. Hugh St. Clair... St. Clair Signs Inc. Greenville, SC

I can not say enough good things about Heather Scalzo and her work as my attorney. She continuously went above and beyond to be an advocate for my children and myself. Her communication was clear and always punctual. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the law, and I am so thankful for her representa...tion!

Steady, Consistent, Advocacy in a Difficult Time

Heather kept my interests at the forefront of all stages of a complicated divorce. She listened and guided me through the process so that I felt comfortable though I was facing a life change I never thought I would experience. Because of her diligence, patience, and advocacy I know that my goals we...re achieved. My life is better today because of Heather Scalzo's representation.
