Do NOT hire

I would NEVER RECOMMEND to anyone looking for someone to represent their child/children to hire this woman! She completely dropped the ball when it came to my child's mental health and well being.

Terrible!!!

I had two separate cases with her at one time. The outcome for one was BS. The other case she did very little and she used the money for the other case. She failed to keep me updated on the time and money spent. I finally receive it after requesting it many times. Now I owe more?! She is a joke of an... atty and don't know how she is still one. She's rude, she does not return calls, you can't get ahold of her, she's worthless! I will NEVER refer her to anyone. I didn't even want to give her a star.

Not happy

I went through heather for my divorce . And honestly I didn’t really need a lawyer just guidance on filing out the paperwork . I knew my ex wasn’t going to appear so there wasn’t going to be a fight . I paid heather in full up front . After 8 months I finally got a court date . Due to covid I underst...ood that . My divorce has been final since October and I am now getting notices from the court that my filing fees haven’t been paid . I contacted another party from her office who adviced me it would be taken care of immediately, however obviously it wasn’t because I have now received another notice and just contacted the courts to learn it still haven’t been taken care of . I don’t even care that she didn’t appear at court and sent another lawyer in her place . Like I said there was no real need for a lawyer in my case . But atleast make sure my filing fees that I have already paid are taken care of . I have messaged many times in regards to this matter and have received no response .

Custody

Heather is BY FAR the most honest Lawyer! She doesn’t play around & gets the job done. Went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable with certain things and made sure everything was pin-pointed in every angle. Wouldn’t of wanted any other person to represent me with my kiddos. Totally recomme...nd

Attorney Heather

I recommend Heather as your next attorney because....I hired Heather about 4yrs ago and have used her for every year since then. I actually have a current case with her. She is very knowledgeable and has always been upfront on everything even if I didn't want to hear it. She doesn't sugar coat anyth...ing which is what I love about her. She has not overly charged me like past attorneys I have had. She answers phone calls, texts, and emails in a timely manner always. I have had her for every contempt that my child's father has been in for the past 4yrs.
