Amazing attorney

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am that Heather Piper represented me during my divorce. The amount of detail and care she took with my case was phenomenal. She was always available if I had a question or concern and made sure to fully explain the process and what I should expect. I could go o...n and on, but I’ll finish by saying if you need a family law attorney that is responsive and really cares about their clients then Piper Law is where u need to be.

Miracle worker

I retained Ms. Piper's services midway through divorce proceedings. During my initial consultation, Ms. Piper truly listened to my concerns & priorities. Not once did I feel like a number when dealing with Ms. Piper. Each conversation left me with a feeling of confidence that I was in the most compet...ent representation imaginable. Ms. Piper & her team developed a strategy that lead to an outcome that I was previously told would be impossible. Parenting time was the utmost importance to me & when we finally put pen to paper, I had more parenting time than what would have been granted in trial. Ms. Piper respected my time & worked efficiently to provide an amazing outcome while avoiding unnecessary billable hours. I have and will continue to recommend her services to anyone going through the trying times that are divorce proceedings.

Professionalism unmatched!

When I contacted Heather, my situation seemed trying and very difficult to work through alone. She gave me the best advise I needed at the time, which was stay calm and keep things simple. She handled everything with great care and professionalism, walking me through the process with ease of mind. Wo...rds cannot describe my level of satisfaction. Thanks so much!!!!

Amazing Family Law Attorney!!!!

I rarely write reviews of any kind. But this is certainly noteworthy. Heather Piper is an amazing person and attorney. She addressed our divorce matters efficiently, with great care, and attention to detail during this sensitive process. Currently, our family affairs seem better now than they have be...en in many years. Large credit to Heather. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a phenomenal family law attorney. Feel as though I may have also gained a friend in the process. Thank you to Heather for all of her expert guidance during very challenging times. Similarly, as I hear in my periodontal practice, "I like you a lot Heather, but hope to never require your services in the future". Although, I certainly know where to turn if needed. She is such a professional! Sincerest Regards, Robert

Excellent Legal Representation

I was referred to the firm of Piper McCracken for representation during a Child Support Modification case. It seemed my case was more arduous than should be and it was an excellent choice to have Heather Piper as my legal counsel. Ms. Piper identified realistic legal expectations, laid out a plan f...or how she would proceed, and followed through with her plan to deliver successful results. I would highly recommend Ms. Piper and the piper McCracken legal team.
