Been a client for years, highly recomended

Heather represented me in an extremely difficult custody situation which included a TRO, monthly hearings, settlement conference, final stipulation negotiation, & multiple OTSC hearings post-settlement. Consistently, Heather was able to convey the facts of an incredibly complex case to our commissi...oner(s) & judge(s) and secure positive outcomes over the course of 4+ years of litigation. I wish I didn't need an attorney and all the nonsense would go away, but I'm thankful Heather has been there to represent me throughout the process.

Highly skilled, knowledgeable, supportive, and aggressive

Heather has been there to help me out in my divorce and custody case more than I ever expected I would need. She has been upfront and honest from the very beginning. With every obstacle the other side has presented, Heather has tackled it head on. She is not intimidated by numerous opposing counsels.... She has been available, even in emergency weekend situations. I have recommended her to others.

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.

Heather is the best attorney out there!

Heather is the best attorney out there. She has been my attorney for 5 years and has helped me to be able to see my son and have a relationship with him when the other party wanted me to not have anything to do with him. She's been very honest with me and has been there for me when I've felt all hope... was lost. She's a great person and has morals, which other attorneys do not have. I'd reccomend her to anyone, in fact I've recommended her to 2 people. That's how much I trust her!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
