Posted by anonymous | August 26, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

VERY ineffective at family law

Hired her for a child visitation issue. The advice that she gave me to go to my ex's house to pick up my child (to prove to the courts that I intended on seeing him every other week) almost got me arrested (which would've been the first time in my life). Was billed multiple times for emails that she ...would send out stating dates that she was unavailable. She did not schedule enough time in front of the general Magistrate, causing the case to be extended by another 4 months. Seemed very surprised when the respondent got a lawyer at the last minute. Had me compile evidence that was thrown out of court. Billed me for attorney hours when it REALLY seemed as if the paralegal did this shoddy work. An example of this, the first document that she sent me back was titled Dissolution of Marriage. I was never married to the respondent. Overall, a huge waste of money, time, and worst of all absolutely nothing was resolved. The biggest waste of thousands of dollars that I can imagine. Not to mention the fact that after she was no longer my legal counsel, she allegedly had contact with the respondent and actually APOLOGIZED to my sons mother (the respondant) according to a source that is close to the respondent. Most law firms grow; it is no wonder that she has been practicing law for almost 2 decades and is still by herself. All i got from her services was an ulcer, a final adjucation from the general magistrate punching down on me, and a bank account thousands of dollars lighter.

It is our goal to provide the best counsel available based on the circumstances. Family matters are complex. Unfortunately outcomes are never guaranteed. If you would like to discuss your concerns further please contact the office.

Writ of Possession granted

I hired Heather Caeners for an eviction case in Volusia County. From beginning to end my questions were answered and the Writ of Possession was finally granted. The main takeaway for me is invaluable information and knowledge of the process provided by Ms. Caeners. Thanks to her and her assistant. ...

Efficient, Friendly, and Easy to Work With

Working with Ms. Caeners was a pleasure. I needed help filing an uncontested divorce and she was able to walk me through the process with ease. She and her assistant kept me informed of everything. Even with the added stress of the pandemic going on, there was never a delay in her responses, she answ...ered every question I had, and was able to make the entire process as easy as it could be. I would recommend her services to anyone!

Probate and RE Help

I have been using Ms. Caeners for a couple of issues regarding my deceased dad's place and a co-ownership issue. So far working with Ms. Caeners has been a wonderful experience. She is knowledgable, discusses alternatives and options, and follows through on the action plan. Her assistant is also a... pleasure to work with and turns things around quickly. Even though this incident is still a 'work in progress' my experience has been excellent and I recommend her for your elder care or probate needs.

Sometimes you need a "pitbull" on your side.

I always felt safe going into court with Heather, and completely elated coming out. She is smart, reliable, quick on her feet, tenacious as a pitt bull when needed in a professional arena and yet diplomatic when needed. If you are fighting an uphill battle with an unreasonable spouse, this lawyer ...is for you! She won't coddle you, and she definitely won't coddle your opponent. The law is the law, and she knows what can be done and what is just scare tactic from your adversary. You can rest assured she sees them coming and has your back! In summary: it was the best money i've ever spent.
