poor practices

heather was my GAL when I was maybe 13. I'm 22 now and I'm still disgusted with the lack of advocating for my best interest. she repeatedly favored my father over my mother (and that seems to be a trend throughout her practice based on other reviews). as a result of her favoritism, it put me in multi...ple unsafe situations that I'm still baffled an adult allowed to happen.

Excellent Lawyer!!!

As a 20 year military veteran and a commercial airline pilot. I hold professionalism sacred. Heather’s professionalism is unmatched. She is of the highest caliber. I would highly recommend. She puts children at the highest priority. She works countless hours in order to ensure the best outcome for... her clients. She is diligent in responding to any questions or concerns her client may have. Hands down I have not encountered a better lawyer than Heather Landon!

Highly Competent and Very Aggressive

Heather is very aggressive in defending her clients. She represented my ex-wife in our divorce and had no problem telling the judge outright lies and slandering my name in attempt to paint me as the "bad guy" in the divorce. She encouraged her client to try to have my mother arrested for harassment... due to a few text messages that were actually polite and courteous. She encouraged her client to file a false police report against me after her client intentionally damaged her own property in a storage unit. She sent an IWO to my employer and had child support taken out of my pay check before the judge even signed the order. She sets her morals and ethics aside when defending her clients. She's expensive, but worth every penny if you need someone to strongly defend you in a difficult divorce.

Recommended for all

I came to Heather in one of the most stressful situations in my life and she came through amazingly. Not only was she able to calm me when I was stressed and answer all my legal questions with knowledge and confidence, but she was a zealous advocate for my case and worked with me to get a fair outco...me. As a result, I am more relaxed and calm than I have been in years and I have a fair and equitable schedule with my kids that was attempting to be denied to me. I would recommend Heather for anyone that is seeking an attorney that will work with them through the toughest times and fight ardently on their side but not try to patronize them with unrealistic or false expectations. The truth and honesty that Heather provided no only to me but to the other side of this case is truly what made the difference and that is the kind of honesty and integrity that is needed from an attorney. Thank you for everything!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Heather is an excellent divorce attorney, and she is also excellent in all criminal matters, whether it is a minor in possession charge or a federal drug conspiracy case. Very few attorneys can be so good at so many different areas of the law. I guess you chalk it up to her being incredibly smart and having a vast amount of experience. I'd recommend her to anyone."
