A lawyer you'd want on your side

She was very dedicated and extremely informative on how my case was/is going. Heather knows her stuff and put the opposing party to shame with facts and rules. I couldn't me more happy to have a lawery like her by my side in these difficult times. She kept me calm and walked me through what was bein...g done through each step.

She is Amazing!

My divorce was really messy and Heather was there to help me through the whole process. She was very responsive, professional and fought hard for me! I would definitely recommend her!

I just have to say that Heather had it all under control....! No worries, Straight as an arrow!

Considerate, Helpful and Real

I met Heather through someone my dad knew and she was able to take my case after my previous lawyer had to drop her clients due to an emergency. I was a panick stricken single parent fighting for custody of my daughter and knew that my ex had been drawing out the process due to his never ending fund...s. Heather was real about costs, offered ideas about how to keep cost to me down, was realistic about options that we had and answered the questions I had and made me feel heard. My case lasted a few years and I feel beyond lucky that I was patient for the results that I wanted ( it only lasted that long because of not receiving paperwork from the other party and I didn't want to bring it to court because it could've cost me more in the long run). I do recommend Heather Olson to anyone that would need her services. You'd be lucky to find someone as driven to do the right thing for you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
