Very good divorce attorney
She did my divorce for me. She was very good, thorough, did exactly what she said she was going to do. It all was done very quickly. If I ever needed an attorney again I would use her again.

Family law
I hired Heidi to help with a legal family matter. She was straight forward and honest about what I could and could not expect from my case. She did an excellent job and I would recommend her, and if need be I would use her again.
