Heather Michele Duwel-Mehl

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 .

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.

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

My family and I had used Heather for several occasions. First starting with my husband, who wasn’t my husband when he hired her for his custody case. He was able to achieve all he aimed and filed for in court, plus some. Then I had to hire her for my custody case down the road & their were many fact...ors involved in this one, it wasn’t easy. She came to court and served us well. Iv had to reach out to her many many times for advice, or how to handle this or that along the way. Even personal advice too, although it wasn't her job to return those favors or her responsibilities she would take the time to help us in any way she could. I do truly recommend Heather as an attorney, even though their were times I may not of agreed at the very moment, in my head I seen other solutions, she knew right away what to do and had my children and families best interest at all times being her priority. I was being stubborn and one track minded and she’s been and advocate for what we needed her for first, and a shark for us in the end. She brought on all we needed plus some. I’d have to say she handled herself well through all of our journies, represented us in the manner we needed exceptionally and we gave her some pretty messy, complicated situations to handle. Again, We highly recommend her and will always.

I don’t even know where to start. I’ve had shared parenting with my ex for 8 years and we rotate every other week with our son. A few months ago our son came to me with some issues regarding his Dad and he no longer wanted to spend an entire week there. I struggled for a long time trying to decide i...f I was making the right decision. After trying to talk to my ex and requesting a mediation, I decided to hire Heather. My stomach was in knots, I was so torn. I prayed daily for God to guide me and help me make the right decisions, and I truly believe he answered my prayers by bringing Heather in. When I met with her I was very emotional, she walked me through the process, every step of what would happen and what my options were, with NO pressure at all. I cried and she consoled. I made her promise me that no matter how ugly things got or how angry or off focus I became, that my son would ALWAYS be her #1 focus, that she would fight for him, not for me, and that’s exactly what she did!! There were times that she said “ok, I understand you’re upset, but, we need to keep this about (son) and not about being angry with ex” Heather fought for my son like he was her own child, just as she promised! I’ve read a lot of the reviews, I’ve read how she didn’t return phone calls in a prompt manner or how she made a mistake on paper work, well, we are all human!! There were a couple of times I left a message and asked her to call me back and it took a few days, and that’s okay!!! She has a family and a life outside of her work, she was helping me with the most important thing in my life, the least I could do was be understanding and realize that I was not her only client! I appreciate the hard work she put in for my son, I can never repay her for what she did! Writing a check was nothing, it’s trying to figure out how to express my deep gratitude. I will never forget how she treated me and my son, she gave him a voice when his own father refused to listen. THANK YOU HEATHER, I pray that God blesses you and your beautiful family. If you need a passionate attorney, one that truly cares, I suggest you make the call!!!!!
