Great Lawyer

Represented us against a debt collector who was harassing us. Great result, fierce representation.

Thee Beeessstt!

10 out of 10!!!! Navigating a complex lawsuit for the first time was solo intimidating but that completely changed once I began working with Heather Blaise and the Valkyrie Law Group! From the very start, I knew I was in good hands. They made a stressful process so much easier to understand and ma...nage. I was never in the dark. Heather and her team kept me informed, educated, and empowered every step of the way. I was constantly in awe of Heather’s fierceness, expertise and the way she handled everything with both confidence, strategy and care. You can tell she’s deeply committed to her work and DOES NOT LET UP when it comes to protecting her clients. Her presence alone helped ease so much of the tension I felt going into this. While I hope I never find myself in the middle of another legal battle, I feel so much more confident knowing I have this incredible team to work with if I do. She came highly recommended to me and now I know why. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone needing strong, smart, and compassionate legal representation.

Outstanding Results

Heather Blaise is a great lawyer who not only understands the legal system thoroughly but understands how to accomplish the client's goals with their best interests in mind. As a lawyer, I was impressed by her accessibility, which to me, represents an important part of the lawyer/client relationship....

Save yourself time... Hire the best!

I would highly recommend Ms. Blaise. My situation seemed hopeless, my previous attorney basically had given up and then I was referred to Heather. Literally, within a weeks time, I went from giving up and being ready to walk away from my home to being back in the fight after speaking with Heather. I... wish my other attorney knew what she did, or better yet, I wish I could have saved myself some time and found her right away... You should too.

Exceptional Family Law/Bankruptcy/Foreclosure Attorney - no need to go any farther in your search for an attorney

Her middle name should be "Thorough." Heather will walk you through everything and make sure you understand what is happening. She is very throrough at researching case study and approached my case as though it was her own personal matter. She charges one heck of a competitive rate compared to the... other attorneys and gets back to you promptly. Pound for pound, the best attorney I've ever worked with.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have referred Ms. Blaise and her team over 25 cases in the past two years. I can say without exception that Heather has either met or exceeded my and my clients' expectation on each occasion. What makes Heather different than other attorneys that I refer cases to is her complete command of each matter she is handling and equally important, her communication skills. Calls get returned within the day and meaningful updates are provided. I have been even more impressed by Heather's skill in litigation and her passion for researching and finding otherwise novel ways to advocate and protect her clients. She is a formidable advocate and an asset to my practice in that I know that every case I send over to her will be handled professionally and efficiently."

"Attorney Blaise is one of the top lawyers I've had the pleasure of working with. I've had a number of clients that I've referred to Heather for civil litigation, family law, intellectual property, and other matters. Her professionalism is at the highest levels, she is responsive, hard working, and knowledgeable about the law. She fights both in and out of court for the best result for the client, and has obtained incredible results. I would highly endorse Attorney Blaise for any of your litigation needs, and I will continue to send my clients to her when the need arises."
