Heaven Sent!
Ms. Tessmer and her ENTIRE staff are not only very professional, but are also very compassionate people. My child's safety and best interest was always Ms. Tessmer's and Ms. Smith's main focus.

Heather Tessmer's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Heather came in as the opposing party's attorney about a year into the case and a month before mediation. Prior to Heather's involvement, I was having an extremely difficult time getting the case to resolution. Once Heather became involved, she immediately worked with me to get the case ready for mediation and, as a result, we were able to settle the case. Heather was easy to work with and represented her client well."
"I worked with Heather on a complex litigation matter as her appellate lawyer. Before the hearing, Heather worked hard to research the available case law & then argued zealously on behalf of her client to the judge. I regularly refer clients in need to Heather because she has demonstrated over & over again that she truly cares about her clients & their well-being. Clients are not just a number to her as they are in some larger law firms. I highly recommend Heather."
"Ms. Tessmer is a highly respected member of the legal community in San Antonio. She also has a very professional and dedicated staff which speaks volumes about her character not only as an attorney but as an employer as well. She is approachable and is dedicated to providing you with the best legal services she can."
"I endorse Heather Tessmer. She conducts herself in a very professional manner, yet advocates for her clients with passion. She is also well-respected in the community."
