Reading all of Heather Atnip’s positive reviews, I can only sum it up this way; My case wasn't worth her time. My case started in February, 2016. The settlement hearing was in March, 2019, 3 years later. I met with Heather at best, 3 times, including the settlement hearing. But it didn't end there...
I know your case extremely well. I've read this review and I deserve it 100%. My firm was in a rapid growth phase and looking back, I didn't know how to properly delegate tasks at that time. I delegated the lien resolution to an Associate and then assumed that it was completed without proper follow-up on my end to make sure that the lien was resolved. I sincerely apologize, at the end of the day, the buck stops with me. You were never forgotten though, I actually thought that you had forgotten about me since we never met up at Victoria's - now I understand why. I hope you and your family are doing well and accept my apology.

I've been a client of Heather Atnip for several years, her team is outgoing and very understanding. Heather is sharp as a tack and truly cares about her clients. She's thorough and knowledgable when it comes catastrophic claims. Her staff are equipped to handle many different cases of law. If I were ...

Heather helped make a difficult task easier especially to someone who knows very little about the legal process and auto insurance (myself). She is very knowledgeable, helped explain things along the way and kept me up to date with what was going on. Very responsive as well with any questions of m...
Thank you Peter! You were a delight to work with. Glad that we could help.

After searching for many months for an attorney that I can trust to file suit on my behalf and represent me for my non-paid auto accidents bills. I was introduced to the best Trial Lawyer in Michigan, Attorney Heather Atnip. When I started my non-emergency transportation business back in 2010, I was ...
"Heather is an incredibly intelligent and passionate attorney that works extremely hard for her clients. She truly has an outstanding team at Atnip & Associates and I would refer my own family members to her in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Heather is an amazing person and a truly great attorney. She is one of the most dedicated and hardest working people I know and her accomplishments never cease to amaze me, even though I've known her since our law school days together. Heather is truly gifted and excels at her endeavors with a tenacious spirit, but does so gracefully and with apparent ease. She is likely to be the smartest and most capable attorney in virtually any gathering, but would just as likely sit back and let others discover that at their own peril."
"Heather is a young attorney that has wisdom and knowledge well beyond the number of years she has been in practice. I am often amazed at how she has a better grasp on many areas of the law that other lawyers with two to three times as many years in practice don't."
"Heather is one of the best lawyers I know. I have been working for Heather since April and I have already learned so much from her. She has a "go get them" personality but still remains very friendly throughout the litigation process. If you are looking for a smart and energetic lawyer Heather is the perfect attorney for you!"
