Kelly Margaret Heitkamp

I went with my mother to visit a few attorneys before we decided on Kelly. She was very direct and mother needed that more than anything. It's difficult to see your mother go through a divorce and worse to see her lose her security. This has been a long process and as it nears the end I know this ...is the right attorney due to the complexities of the case. I'm sure she handles less strenuous matters and does quite well but I doubt many others would have remained in the trenches with us like she has.

She is one of seven attorneys interviewed to help my family. We selected Ms Heitkamp based upon her reputation in our community and her knowledge demonstrated during our many meetings. She has a very aggressive approach but we did not need to take that route because I feel the other attorney respec...ts her and therefore treated us with dignity. I would hire her again and will hire her when our grandchild gets older and is more verbal.

I found Miss Heitkamp through AVVO. I'm a grandmother with a daughter involved with the wrong crowd. She is not a good mother right now but I didn't want to wait for CPS to step in. CPS came in the past but they ended up giving the babies back to her even though she was living in a hotel. I learn...ed that CPS is part of the state and they have all of the power to make all decisions for the babies. I had no rights even though the babies were placed with me. This was the last time so I hired a highly respected attorney so this would end finally. It has been a long process but we just finalized our case and we are now acting as the parents and have all of those rights. My daughter can visit the children when she comes out of rehab but she can no longer take the children and CPS can't take them from us. This is heartbreaking and exhausting emotionally and financially but we now have closure and control. I recommend Miss Heitkamp for reasons too lengthy for this site but mainly her compassion, honesty, direct approach, and relentless nature. She has an incredible reputation and after one meeting with her it is easy to see why.

Kelly was my lawyer for two years but now I live in Beaumont and can't find anyone who will work like she did. I had consults with three lawyers and none of them can stay awake or follow what I'm saying. Kelly sent me emails all of the time at 2 and 4 in the morning. She was always working. I'd b...e at work and get an email from her in the middle of the night and she and I would message back and forth. She knew I was up worried so she was up worried about me. You can't put a price on that. Now I'm down here fighting the same battle with that same woman but I can't get a lawyer that I trust. I heard Kelly is working in Colorado now but she still takes cases in east Texas. Finding a good lawyer is harder than I thought. I was spoiled.

Ms Kelly has been my lawyer for the past two years. Mine is a case that won't be over for years I guess. I read here about people complaining about cost but she charges the same as my first attorney but I actually talk to her and I can tell you what shes done for me. I dont understand a lot about ...how all of this works. I read the papers and wing it. The X wants to have a hearing every week. All of this is crazy but all I can do to help my son is fight it. Kelly is steady and true. People said she was a fighter and that is true but I find she is just honest and works hard... like good people do.
