Heena Jeelani

I hired Heena regarding a dispute between my ex-husband and I regarding my pension. She was timely, concerned and addressed all the issues that I had. She even informed me of things I was unaware of in my divorce papers from years ago. She went before the judge to get the signature that I needed. I... would highly recommend her !

Heena did a great job to help walk me through the entire process from the very beginning. She was able to explain the next steps to help me understand how everything should work so that there were no surprises along the way. Working with her during Covid and not meeting face-to-face made communica...tion even more important and she did a wonderful job keeping me informed of the progress being made and what was needed from me. She was able to do what was best for me and my children, all while being sensitive during a stressful and difficult time in all of our lives. Getting a great lawyer with empathy was crucial while dealing with everything that this process entails.

I hired Heena Jeelani when my ex went back to court for share custody of our two children. I worked with Heena for a little over a year. Although there were upside and downs throughout the case she never suggested giving up. Instead she always managed to find a new way to approach the case and ultim...ately i ended up winning the case where my ex can see kids under supervision. Heena was always available when i had questions even at night like 10pm and her fees were very reasonable. At the end of the case it felt like walking away from a friend not just an attorney who was handling my case. I would, and have, recommended her services without reservations

I went in for a consultation about a divorce with my husband who is abusive and of which I had brought proof in the form of an actual police report and a scar on my face from a separate incident with him. I also mentioned to get that my husband does not sleep in the same room as me nor has he had rel...ations with me in over 2 years. Heenas plan nonetheless was to get me less that the statutory 25% child support for one child that I had with him and claim that out marriage was "bonifide" so that he could pursue an unrestricted green card post marriage. My husband had received an expedited green card (less than 1 year wait time) because I am a military veteran and that meant absolutely nothing to her either. To further add insult to injury, she wanted to charge me close to 300 per hour for her 5ish years of experience (overpriced) which is comparable to an attorney with 2-3 times her experience level. And finally, the entire time I was explaining my situation to her she was focused on bank account information and possible assets, and periodically mentioning that her firm handles immigration as well (not my concern).
