Thank you for taking the time to review me. I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure to help you and guide you in your case. I wish you and your family the very best.

Amazing

She was beyond amazing through the whole process. She was honest and up front about everything. She helped me modify my child custody agreement and in the end it was better than I had originally planned for. Everyone in this firm is honest and upfront, they don’t promise you things they can’t deliver.... The only interest they have in mind is the best interest of the child. They are extremely professional and courteous and I would recommend them to everyone.

Heather did great for me.

Heather was direct, informative, and emotionally supportive throughout this difficult time for me. She did her best and the outcome worked out very well for me. At the time, no matter what, the outcome always seems bad in divorce, but our efforts turned out to be great and I know I couldn’t have ...done it alone. Thank you again, Heather and team. I hope to never have to work with y’all again! But if I do, it’ll be you that I call on.

Divorce decree modification

I hired Ms Hudson to modify my divorce decree. She is very knowledgeable in family law and did a fantastic job representing me. I strongly recommend her for anyone needing a family law attorney!

Will Recommend and Wonderful Personal Service

My divorce was a tough case to handle. She helped me every step of the way. I never was out of loop. She stayed with me for hours of mediation and never gave up. She always stayed positive but realistic. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I personally witness Ms. Hudson success while I attend law school with her. Then I had the opportunity to practice against her on an opposing side. Unfortunately for me, she was just as brilliant outside of law school and in the Courtroom. I fully endorse this lawyer and highly recommend her for anyone seeking help with family law issues."

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.

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.
