Heather L. Bendure

My only regret is that I found Heather too late. I consulted and hired her over a period of several years when dealing with a custody matter. She is an expert in Wayne County family court and the mediators that the Wayne county judges utilize. The thought of the court making final decisions about our... children makes my heart sink and Heather was able to guide us through so extremely muddy waters. I recommend her to everyone that is looking for a lawyer for divorce and family matters.

Heather is a modern, connected attorney - remarkably available via email during non-working hours, personable, and a clear and direct communicator. It was easy to feel comfortable working with her during a rather uncomfortable process. She made it possible for me to make informed decisions that wer...e the best for me, at each step. She both catalyzed the steps in the process and timed them in a way that was tailored to what I needed. From working with her, I was able to extract myself emotionally from the relationship more quickly. Right at the start, she helped me see that there would be an end to the process; she encapsulated what felt big and chaotic and unending into a short set of steps, each of which was doable. Because she took on all the work of making each next step happen, I could disentangle that process from the process of emotionally detaching, which made the latter much more manageable. Highly recommended!

Simply put, Heather is an excellent lawyer and very reasonable person. Over the course of 5 years, she proved extremely knowledgeable and able to provide best /worst options so I had a favorable outcome from every event. She listened to my priorities and rationale, and focused on details of my case... to give meaningful recommendations to helped me achieve arrangements ideal for my family and children. Heather communicates clearly and concisely, so I felt no fees were wasted. She also promptly responded (even outside business hours at times) to provide feedback when I needed it. I strongly recommend Grosse Pointe Family Law and Heather Bendure without hesitation for anyone seeking family law counsel.

During my first meeting with Ms. Bendure I felt comfortable and in good hands. I felt that she always had my best interest at heart and worked diligently to obtain the results that were best for me and my daughter. My telephone calls and emails were answered in a timely matter. Ms. Bendure provid...ed me with all the options to make an informed decision during my entire divorce process. My divorce provided some unique circumstances in which Ms. Bendure researched and provided the best possible results.
