My Divorce case

Heather was an excellent attorney. I received regular updates from her regarding my case and never once felt like I was in the dark. Her communication with the opposition was very professional and to the point. I hired another attorney when my divorce proceedings first started, but the case just seem...ed to drag on and on. Once Heather took the reins, the tide shifted and the divorce settled in a short time. I firmly believe without Heather handling this case I would still be fighting my ex. If I had a need for her services again I would hire her again in an instant no question about it.

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.
