Very Talented! Highly Recommend!

I really enjoyed working with Heather! She has a "get it done" attitude and working style but is also very compassionate and understanding. She works quickly, efficiently and is on point - exactly what I was looking for! Heather did an excellent job digging into the details of my case, identifying... opportunities and risks and formulating a strategy. She helped me understand the best path forward and advocated for me through negotiations. We were able to work out a settlement and avoid going to trial which was my goal. I would give Heather more than 5 stars and highly recommend working with her!

Absolutely Recommend! Professional and Experienced!

I hired Heather Broxterman due to an unfortunate situation. My wife had moved out and taken our young daughter with her. After a few weeks it became apparent my wife was not going to allow me to see our daughter. It was a very helpless and enotional experience. After contacting Heather I knew immedi...ately that she was extremely professional and knowledgeable on my situation. She clearly explained my rights and the process that was needed for me to be able to have parenting time with our daughter. But more importantly she listened to everything about my particular issues. I was not just "another client". She was invested in my divorce case and her performance reflected it. With my wife making the process as difficult as possible, Heather knew exactly what to do and when to do it. However, she always explained the situation to me and allowed me to make the decision. Her paralegals were always prompt to respond to my questions and were helpful throughout the process. Divorce is an extremely difficult situation for everyone involved. But having someone as talented, assertive, and professional as Mrs. Broxterman in your corner helps immensely. When our court date came she did excellent and got me exactly what I requested, and what was fair. I have her to thank for finally being able to be with my daughter. I will be recommending her services to everyone I know, and if you are in a difficult separation I would highly recommend you contact her sooner than later!

Knowledgeable, efficient and excellent representation

Heather and her team were able to expedite the dismissal of the family law case that was unnecessary and had no legal basis, but was clearly an attempt to disrupt our family life. Heather's knowledge of family law and the best way to expedite the matter was essential in this dismissal and we are very... grateful that we were able to conclude this matter quickly. Heather was mindful of our budget and worked efficiently in order to be frugal and we are sure we hired the right lawyer!! This is the second time Heather has represented us, and we are grateful to have her as our counsel, and if we ever require representation again, we will be knocking on her door again!

An Honest Attorney who will Fight for You

Hiring Ms. Broxterman to represent me during my difficult divorce has been the smartest decision I ever made. After a six month struggle with no temporary maintenance from my soon to be ex-wife, Ms. Broxterman appeared with me in court to fight for what was fair. She handled herself with confidence a...nd poise, presenting my case truthfully and honestly. To say it was an epic battle against a shady and vicious opposing counsel is an understatement. Not only did Ms. Broxterman convince the judge to rule in my favor, but we were awarded everything we asked for and everything I deserved. I have never felt such joyous relief! I know Ms. Broxterman truly has only my best interest at heart. She is nothing like the majority of attorneys who only take a case to line their own pockets. She took my case to help me and to fight for what is fair and right. I am so grateful Ms. Broxterman is on my side and not my wife's because she is a force to be reckoned with! I have more trust in Ms. Broxterman's skills, honesty and integrity than I ever thought possible to have in any attorney. I know without a shred of doubt that my livelihood and my future are her utmost concern. The outcome of my divorce rests in Ms. Broxterman's most capable and savvy hands, and that is the most comforting feeling in the world when going through one of the worst times in my life.

Expertise, kindness, and professionalism

Heather Broxterman is an expert in family law. She efficiently navigated the challenges of my case with integrity and care. In my experience finding an advocate to help navigate the challenges that come with a contested parental responsibility case is no small task given what is at stake. It is ...a terrifying time and I couldn't imagine a better professional to help keep a steady focus through the most turbulent of times. Heather was always available throughout my case and prepared in court. Her ability to decipher my goals and provide direction and focus to help me hone in on the most important tasks and attitudes to attain them could only come from a deep compassion and desire to help. She always had resources to pull from to get things moving in a positive direction. I am forever grateful for the results of my case and highly recommend her and the collaborative efforts of the BAM firm.
