Great divorce lawyer

Kelly handled my divorce a few years back and did an excellent job.

Posted by anonymous | February 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

Posted by Rebecca | October 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Honest

I appreciate your work ethic and your staff. I regret that it took longer than I expected to finalize my divorce but I feel I was treated fairly and that I will not need to worry about my finances in the future. I would most definitely recommend your office to anyone needing a divorce attorney in T...exas and Colorado. You were direct with me and helped me understand what was most beneficial in the long run. I am more confident in my life and finally look forward to living independently.

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.
