Stressful circumstances...Happy ending

Employment related issues are stressful. I never thought it would happen to me... When I first met with Heather I was angry, hurt, confused, shocked, skeptical and most of all STRESSED. Heather listened to my story, advised me of my options and proceeded to negotiate a highly favorable settlement on... my behalf. Heather's professionalism, understanding of the law and confident disposition demonstrated to me that I was in good hands and well represented! Thank you!

Great compassion, incredibly smart, and ferocious when necessary

Heather wasn't just a great attorney, she was also an excellent guide through the difficult procedures and complicated steps regarding the ADA and employment law. She listened when I shared my frustrations and kept me motivated throughout the entire process. I was honored she chose to accept my case ...and I got to experience the closure I sought after the termination of my employment.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
