Posted by Christopher Pope | December 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

By far one incredible, understanding, and extremely professional attorney!

I hired Ms. Heindel and Mr. Cotten her associate attorney after my initial consultation and BOTH worked my Custody Modification suit against my childs abusive and neglectful mother, and between the two of them and their legal assistant Molly, I won my case with hardly a fight which for a father is a ...very hard thing to do. I couldn't be any more happier for my son knowing he's safe and sound all thanks to Ms. Heindel and her incredible staff. They would constantly update me on every aspect of my case, and walked me through every aspect as well, answered any and all questions professionally and represented me the best possible way with the up most respect. If for any reason a need to hire an attorney and my case fits right in with what they practice, you can rest assure I'm hiring Ms. Heindel and Mr. Cotten again. And they worked with me on paying instead of turning their back on me just because I couldn't come up with thousands of dollars right away to protect my child. Thank you all so very much, your team has truly been such a blessing!

Outstanding service and communication.

My husband and I live in AZ and were in desperate need of assistance from an attorney in TX for a child support case. For years we dealt with this case and had no idea how to handle it since we live out of State and my husband is disabled and unable to travel. It was a true blessing that we found M...s. B. Diane Heindel’s ad on the internet. It was our first and only call. We had our initial consultation over the phone with Ms. Heindel who was very helpful and able to assist us. That in itself was great news and we were able to retain her services. It would be shortly thereafter that we received another great blessing by having Mr. Jeffrey Cotten represent my husband with his case. He has been amazing! He’s extremely intelligent, efficient, and informative. He provides detailed feedback when needed or requested and has always kept us updated of every step that is taken in the case. He has gone above and beyond our every expectations. We will forever be grateful that they were able to take our case and Jeff has provided us with the support, guidance and direction we so very much needed. We highly recommend any services that Ms. B. Diane Heindel and/or Jeffrey Cotten are able to provide. We would have never imagined that we could have built such an amazing rapport with an agency so far away that makes us feel like we’re right down the street. Words cannot express the gratitude and satisfaction we’ve had with our experience.

Would recommend

Diane Heindel is by far the best attorney I have hired/had a consultation with. During my child custody case I started off using an attorney from Dallas who was unprofessional and was never able to be reached. Anytime I wanted to speak with Diane personally it was never an issue, office staff was ver...y helpful, kind and always available whenever I had any questions. I ended up getting full custody and even more than I asked for in the end. I would recommend her to anyone!
