As an attorney my goal is to help my clients navigate the legal process in the most fair and equitable manner with the least amount of stress possible for the client and their children. However, I don't rose-color the situation for my clients. I believe in honesty and integrity in my practice and do not bend in that regard. Part of being a good lawyer, in my opinion, is being able to tell a client when they are not being reasonable or when their expectations are skewed. As attorneys we do not have a crystal ball to know what the future may bring, but we can certainly stand by them as they walk through the tunnel to the other side. I'd like to think my clients see me as someone they can trust to walk them through that tunnel.
When I'm not practicing law, I prefer to spend my time with my husband and kids. In the winter, we ski; in the summer, we're at the ball park. I think it's important for children to see their parents volunteering, so I volunteer with the legal clinic here in Eau Claire, our local baseball league, church, and sit on the board of Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care.

Attorney Pauls was an absolute gift after having battled previous custody issues using a different attorney. We had called her office several years earlier and the impression I got from her assistant Sarah, always stuck with me. I knew we should have hired Heather at that moment. However, for whate...

Heather provided a comfortable atmosphere where I felt listened to and things were handled in a timely manner. She allowed me to give direction on all matters, but kindly counseled me, when needed, in order to ensure I understood the full picture of what I was dealing with. She is smart and very savv...

I worked with Heather Pauls on terminating the guardianship my parents had of my daughter. It was a long process and it was the hardest things I had to go through. At times I didn't believe in myself but Heather remained a constant and supported me through the whole thing. I tried doing this on my ow...
"I endorse this lawyer. Heather Pauls is a very skilled attorney, and is very knowledgeable in the area of family law. She consistently treats her own clients and opposing counsel with respect and dignity. She handles each case with care, and works diligently and efficiently to get the best outcome possible for everyone involved so that families can move on as easily as possible from difficult situations. I refer not only family matters to Heather Pauls, but also bankruptcy matters."
"Attorney Heather Pauls is a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable as to the law and will seek the best resolution for her client, but she does so in a manner which reduces conflict between the parties. This is especially important where children are involved. I have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Pauls."
"Heather Pauls is an excellent attorney. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the areas of family law and bankruptcy. This is evident in her large caseload with everything from simple Guardian ad Litem work to complicated divorces. She is a pleasure to work with, even when she is on the opposing side. Her easy going personality aids her clients as other attorney's are able to negotiate deals without needing to go to court. If a deal cannot be made, Heather is excellent in the courtroom as she is familiar with courtroom procedure and will not succumb to pressure from adversary counsel. Heather is genuinely a good person as she cares about her clients as well as her community. Heather volunteers on many various boards in the community and lends a hand at the free legal clinic. I consider Heather a top-notch attorney and person."
