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.... My settlement could not be dispersed until a lien tied to my case was settled. From the day she took my case in 2016 to the day it was settled in 2019 Heather said she would negotiate the lien. I have called monthly, leaving messages for Heather. I spoke to several associates at Atnip, questioning the longevity of the lien negotiations. No response from Heather. I stopped in at Atnip Associates in January 2020, requesting to talk to Heather, I was only able to leave a message for her to contact me. No response from Heather. Frustrated with the lack of communication, I called the case worker of the lien on March 5, 2020. The case worker had on record, one attempt at negotiations from Atnip Associates, it was in March of 2019. They also had on record, several attempts to reach Atnip Associates; the lien holder was not successful either. With this information from the lien case worker, I emailed Heather on Friday, March 6, 2020 to let her know I had talked to someone with the lien and I wanted to discuss with her the conversation that I had. To my surprise on Monday, March 9, 2020 I got a message from an associate at Atnip (not Heather) that they had reached a settlement with the Lien Holder. Heather Atnip held on to my settlement for 1 year! It only ended because I reached out to the Lien Holder. Although I have not spoken to Heather since March, 2019, she made sure to take her full one-third of my settlement. Heather, when you make a commitment, you should follow through. You did not. I did.

Heather Atnip was heaven sent! I was referred to Heather and once she got the case in her hands. Heather and her staff had committed themselves to my brother! My family & I was taken care of him to the best of our ability! Without the proper wheelchair accessible home! Without the proper shower for h...im. 24/7 around the clock care! When We had questions Heather and her staff was available to us! To answer all our needs. We can't thank Heather & Atnip Associates enough for their hard work and dedication to our case! If it wasnt for this great team! My brother wouldn't be living in a wheelchair accessible home right now! My family is so appreciative to the long hours and many countless times coming to our home at the time! To get the job done! I knew that Heather was the right person for the job!

I was assaulted by a patient while on the job in June of 2011. I did file a police report and the assaulter was charged with assault. It was a very traumatic experience but I finally summoned the courage to consult a lawyer in August of 2011. After meeting with Ms. Atnip at her office in Waterf...ord for about an hour to go over details of the assault, she determined that she would write a letter to the place of my employment stating her belief that they were negligent in keeping me safe on the job. If they offered me any money as a "settlement" out of court, she would take a percentage of that; we both agreed that actually filing a lawsuit would be too traumatic as I would have to testify in court, and I didn't want to relive the whole experience. I never once heard back from her or anyone at the office!! When I called, the office staff would tell me that she was not in the office at the time, or with another client; I would leave a message for her, but my calls were never returned. I even wrote her a letter with my complaint that I didn't know if she had even sent the employer a letter at all, and that I didn't know what was going on. Again, no response from Ms. Atnip. I have to believe that because this case would have resulted in a very small pay-out, she frankly didn't want to bother with it. Instead of having the decency to respond to my calls/letters, like a true professional would, she ignored me and left me hanging. I was still too much in shock about the whole experience and its aftermath (I did quit that place of employment), that I kind of gave up on the situation; now the statute of limitations on this case has expired, and I will never be able to recoup anything for my trauma--all because Ms. Atnip didn't have the common decency of communicating with her client. Please look elsewhere for an attorney. I wouldn't recommend this one to my worst enemy.

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 ...losing out on thousands of dollars until Attorney Heather Atnip began representing me. I notice from the first time we met she was dedicated to her clients, educated in her field and passionate about her work. And, Attorney Atnip took the time to educate me on the filing process; while giving me step by step instructions on how to maintain good record keeping making the process of filing a Provider Law Suit a lot smoother. Once in the courtroom, it was apparent that I had the best Trial Lawyer in Michigan, Attorney Heather Atnip! Attorney Heather Atnip demonstrated her outstanding knowledge in Michigan Law and the Insurance Companies Defense Attorneys couldn’t stand a chance to win against a woman who is so fierce, knowledgeable, persuasive and tough! There’s not a case I would not allow Attorney Atnip to represent for me, because I know she will get the job done. To date, Attorney Atnip has won me over $100,000.00 in funds that was rightfully owed to me and is now representing my family and me for all of our legal matters. I am extremely satisfied with all of the services Attorney Atnip has to offer her clients and the staff at her law firm is very kind, friendly and professional. I personally recommend Attorney Heather Atnip to represent you then, you’ll be saying….”Attorney Atnip is the best Trial Lawyer in Michigan!” I guarantee it!
