Great attorney

Heather helped me through a custody dispute six years after my divorce. Heather was available to help at any time. Heather worked hard for me and made sure I was aware of what was happening every step of the way. When it came to my hearing date, Heather prepared me well for what was to come. I always... knew Heather would work hard for me and never felt in the dark about any part of the process. At times when I felt overwhelmed by the case, Heather was able to explain situations to keep me focused and calm. I am extremely grateful for all of Heather’s help. When it came to my hearing, Heather was well prepared. Heather won me a major victory when in the past I felt nothing but defeat. I can’t thank Heather enough for she has done to help me and my family

Excellent Parenting Plan and Divorce Settlement

I worked with Heather on a complex child custody case involving substance abuse. She came up with a very solid plan to protect my son's safety without needing to go to court or mediation. Opposing counsel and my ex husband were very challenging to work with which required constant pivoting. When ...working on the financial piece of the case, she was mindful of keeping me protected while balancing my desire to settle ASAP. I ultimately could have put myself in a very compromising position without her guidance. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and would recommend her to others.

Compassionate, Experienced and Flexible

Heather White was recommended to me as part of a contentious divorce proceeding where we needed additional help with child related issues including custody, parental rights evaluations and thoughtful approaches to try to resolve case issues. Heather's experience with custody and marital issues has pr...oven very beneficial. I also appreciate her strong ethics and would recommend that anyone consult with her to see if she is a fit for your family legal needs.

Trustworthy and thorough

Heather was wonderful with assisting me in drafting a motion to modify parenting time, and in consultation with related matters. Her work is thorough and she made great use of the time I paid her for. She showed herself to be not only very knowledgeable of family law, but also a person of high integr...ity. I am so grateful for the help that she provided for my son and I.
