Do not recommend
I hired her and was extremely disappointed. I would definitely not recommend Ms. Bassett. I’m not allow to elaborate, but I would suggest another attorney.

Life long client
I've worked with Atty Bassett since 2009 and have always found her to be an exceptional attorney. She is detailed in her research, conducts herself with integrity and professionalism and is always available to go the extra steps to make sure her case is thoroughly prepared.

"Heidi is a knowledgeable advocate. She is serious about her work and easy to work with."
"Heidi Bassett is one of the most accomplished financial services attorneys in Florida. An expert in appellate practice, Ms. Bassett has handled some of the most complex appeals relating to creditor rights and foreclosure issues. In addition, Ms. Bassett is an expert in federal statutes such as RESPA, TILA, FDCPA and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act. Having hired Ms. Bassett on multiple occasions, I can attest that she is a "go to" practitioner in these areas, and I highly recommend her for the more complex cases."
"I endorse Heidi Bassett for whatever your legal need is. I worked with Heidi over an extended period of time.

She is the real deal. While I worked with her in the consumer finance field, I imagine her formidable skills would translate to any area."

Her legal writing is wholly persuasive. She has always treated me with professionalism, and she seems marked by the exercise of good judgment. At all times, I have sensed her commitment to her clients. For these reasons, I am happy Avvo asked me to comment on Ms. Bassett. Regards, Gary Goodenow"
