Conscientious Attorney

Heather was my attorney during a contested protective order. Without fail she was helpful, informative and caring. She kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I had all the information I needed to make appropriate decisions. Without her help I would have been lost. Heather filed paper...work correctly, on time and in the proper format, which helped cut down on unnecessary expenses. Her briefs on the motions were impeccable and persuasive. I would not hesitate to engage her again if I needed an attorney.

The worst possible experience

My experience was so bad I'm not even sure where exactly to start. A quick summary: I hired Heather for my child custody case and it's one of the biggest regrets of my entire life. She didn't know what she was doing, she was scared to speak up during hearings and she milked me for everything I had.. ...after exhausting my savings she dropped me and I did better pro-se in two months than she did in two years!! Hiring her is in my top 3 biggest life regrets.

Impeccable Delivery of Service

Not only was Heather knowledgeable about the custody laws in the state of Utah, but she was knowledgeable about the laws in both another State and the presiding jurisdiction of an Indian Reservation. She was very thorough and precise in handling my custody case from another state. Her diligence to th...e case shined through during court hearings, where she was able to deliver accurate and deliberate intentions to the court in the best interests of my children. Furthermore, Heather had professional connections that were able to provide discounted services in preparing for custody court hearing. Overall Heather's service has been nothing short of flawless. I would highly recommend her.

Heather=One of the best lawyers I know.

Heather Carter-Jenkins has represented me and my company in many situations and has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. She represents her clients interests with devotion and loyalty and is frankly one of the best lawyers I've worked with. I would recommend anybody to her because I know she is ...going to take care of them.

The best attorney I have ever had!

Heather helped me in a custody case with my daughter. The case went on for 5 years because the other side kept filing motion after motion. She kept me abreast of everything that was happening with my case. She would even let me rant and cry in her office when I would get frustrated with how long m...y case was taking. I have had several other attorneys in a previous custody case and Heather has been the best attorney I have ever had represent me in court.
