Michigan's Best

I am not one eager to make recommendations but I have no reservations suggesting Heidi Ferris-Salter for legal counsel. I don't mind giving credit where it is deserved as I have the utmost confidence in Heidi's abilities. I was fortunate to have Heidi represent me in a malpractice case. I wanted the ...best and after thorough research and recommendations I decided that the Ferris-Salter Law Firm was my best bet. I was right. Heidi was very friendly and professional. She showed a genuine interest in my well being with more than just lip service. Heidi and her husband Don went out of their way to travel to my house and donate a much needed medical device. Don't let her kind demeanor fool you though, when you need her to be tough she is like a pit bull. Heidi didn't let me get pushed around or taken advantage of. I not only was facing the defendants lawyers but also her employers legal team, both listed as "super lawyer" firms. Then there was the insurance company lawyers. I felt outnumbered and out gunned but fortunately for me Heidi is smart as a whip and knows her trade well. It seemed that the other professionals we dealt with had great respect for her and some even saying so. When I came to Heidi, I knew I had a difficult case. She already had all the resources and professionals my case required that were probably the best I could have gotten. Heidi gave me good counseling and made me aware of the many pitfalls and traps that awaited. When I needed a lawyer in two places at once, Heidi's husband, Don filled in. Two super lawyers for the price of one. I had a truck load of paperwork to be sorted through and analyzed. I don't know how they did it as the work seemed overwhelming but Heidi and her team of professionals went through it all with a fine tooth comb and didn't miss a thing. Heidi made the whole process easy for me. She did all the leg work and heavy lifting so to speak. In the end it is results that matter. I could not be more pleased or have gotten better results if not for Heidi. She earned every penny and worked hard for it. I definitely got my money's worth with Heidi. A good lawyer like her pays for themselves in the long run. Today my quality of life is far greater than I had even hoped for and I owe Heidi a debt of gratitude for that. This isn't the time to go bargain shopping for lawyers. You want the best. You need Heidi.
