Great lawyer
Kelly is great lawyer and I am so happy to have found her to help me my case and reunite me with my kids. She fought so hard for me and she was straightforward with me through everything.

Outstanding
I could not be more happier with the outcome of my case. Ms. Heitkamp helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I would highly recommend her for any person going through a divorce involving children.

Divorce and child custody
After hiring Kelly she did a great job for me. She was very helpful and also incredibly knowledgeable. She was very well prepared for court. Kelly is a very agressive attorney and she is very good at what she does. Kelly was always concerned with what was best for my children.

Replied last January 24, 2018There are few fathers that compare to you. You met with success because you never hesitated to make decisions based upon what was in the children's best interest. It is reflected in the outcome in the case as well as the relationship you share with your children. You will always be one of my all time favorites. Not everyone goes the distance like you. I am grateful for that passion and love that withstood a most horrible situation.

Amazing Lawyer who will stick to her Guns for you!
I had a consultation with Kelly to see what could be done about my situation, her honesty and compassion to fight for what is right is what made me move forward with her. She fought for me every single step of the way never failing to meet my needs and wants in my child custody case. I sought 50/50 a...

Replied last February 02, 2017The client is the one who decides the success of a case by committing to the cause and staying the course through a very difficult time in his life. Our success is your success and I am grateful that you remained focused. It has been an honor to work with you. I will always be here for you when you need me.

Dedicated and Thorough
Hiring Ms Heitkamp was the best decision I made regarding my high-conflict custody case. She put effort and energy into preparing and presenting the case (unfortunately, my prIor experience with attorneys is that this is not the norm). The end result was that my children and I are free to relocate an...

Replied last August 09, 2016A victory like your win is uncommon as rarely do facts reveal one parent to be so superior in every way. The most inspiring aspect of law is to see justice prevail which has never been more true than in your case. The best part of your life is ahead of you and this dark chapter is now closed. Great things do happen to the best people and I know of nobody more deserving than you and your children.
