Respectful and Honest
This was the first time in my life that I have needed an attorney. I hired Ms. Hudson to represent me in a child support and possession case involving my daughter. In the very first consultation time, effort, patience, and respect was given to me from both Ms. Hudson and her paralegal. Most important...

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...

Couldn’t have asked for a better attorney
You know what’s hard to find? An attorney in San Antonio who has experience with same-sex couple’s divorces (and dog custody battles), and doesn’t require your entire life savings plus a kidney as a retainer. Heather did an amazing job of getting me exactly what I wanted, and kept me from losing my m...
I appreciate your very kind words. It was a pleasure for our firm to handle your divorce.
"Heather Hudson is an exceptional attorney. She knows the law and has the trial skills to effectively represent her clients in contested, high-conflict cases while also possessing the skills to compassionately help clients with uncontested matters. I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
