Posted by Scott | August 26, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent advice and negotiation

Heather was my attorney during my initial divorce proceedings and was an excellent listener. She was able to cover corners in ways I hadn’t imagined. After my ex came back in violation of our agreement, Heather should have been my first call, but I got tripped up because it was about the house and s...tarted with a real estate attorney. What a waste of time. As soon as Heather was back in the case, my ex quickly lost her appetite for the fight she picked, and then when she sold the house a few months later, Heather was there to ensure the agreement was enforced. She has the experience to get it all done and as smoothly as you and your soon to be ex make it. I would hire Heather again.

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.
