Heather Michele Duwel-Mehl

Heather is by far the best lawyer; we've had. I have had my children in IL, AZ, TX & OH family courts (military moves) over 18 years. She is the hardest working for our needs/requests than any of the other lawyers we've hired. She has gone above and beyond for our case; even traveling out of state af...ter jumping through hoops to get her out of state bar accepted in the other state; then fighting, almost literally to get our case heard and ultimately won. She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and prompt with responses. Heather has never told us that something was going to happen and then not happen; she is also very open about explaining what is/is not worth pursuing in terms of the court system. Word of mouth is definitely not sufficient enough to get her the praises she deserves for all that she has done for our family, but I will NEVER recommend another lawyer if I know she is an option. I tell everyone I can about her and about how great she treated us, my children and our case. She is also a guardian ad litem and wonderful with children! Ours were 16 and 13 when they spoke with her and both of them told us that she was very easy to talk to, not pushy or over stepping, and genuinely cared about what was important to them. No question worth hiring!

We hired Heather half way through a very messy custody situation. Not only was she able to help us with the normal things required for the process, but she identified numerous issues our previous Attorney had missed. We were able to have temporary custody reversed and were able to make the process mu...ch less stressful. Overall we would recommend Heather for any and all legal needs.

Heather did my divorce and then a review of my custody case. She handled everything professionally and in a timely manner. She is very skilled in custody cases, and works as a Guardian ad litem in the Courts she practices. She was able to work out a lot of details with the other attorney before going... to court so we could focus on what really mattered, custody. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and have referred her to friends and family.
