Extremely Professional and Effective Attorney

I hired Heather to represent me as my credit card provider submitted court filings to freeze my back account after I failed to submit payment in agreement with my original payment terms. Heather was very quick to respond and negotiate with my credit card provider to not only withdraw the court fili...ngs but also reduce my disputed debt by several thousand (i.e., removal of late fees and interest) and stopped interest from accruing on my outstanding balance. Heather was very effective at communicating the status of my case as well as obtaining the necessary paperwork once I paid my settlement in full. I have been extremely satisfied with the services provided by Heather and would not hesitate to hire her should I need her services in the future. Thanks Heather

Great Work

Great working with her through phone and online, didn't need to visit office. Spelled out clearly terms of her contract and what help she could provide. We set terms for a credit card dispute and she handled negotiations. Within two weeks returned with acceptable settlement and was resolved. Also pro...vided flexibility in payment of her fee, very helpful. Would work with again.

Great Attorney!

Heather has been great to work with . We did not want to file bankruptcy to deal with 3 credit cards that filed suit against us. Heather was quick to respond to our initial email and quickly negotiated terms with the credit card companies that allowed us to settle with terms that worked for us. I ...would highly recommend her if you find yourself in the same situation. We would absolutely hire her again if needed.

Awesome

Heather is a great lawyer who, unlike many, has a heart and fights for you. It seems that she takes her work personally and will do whatever it takes to win. I cannot be happier with the work she has done for me. She is a very good and kind person. I would recommend her to anyone. God bless her. Than...ks Heather for all that you do. Rick

Job Well Done

We had a couple of collection cases handled by Ms. Heather Benveniste and her firm. Both cases were successfully dealt with. Ms. Heather was very accommodating and professional at the same time. No appearances were necessary and she was really on top of everything. It's very comforting to know there ...are still lawyers out there who are willing to take care of small people like us against the unscrupulous giants out there. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH MS. HEATHER!

  • 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.
