Trustworthy and Forthright

I went through a horrid divorce. My ex husband hired "fathers rights" attorney and was staging events to gain custody and the home, they were very mean and attempted to rip my kids lives to shreds for money. Heather handled the situation very professionally, She is a respected attorney unlike som...e, and the court respects her. My kids were returned to me and things correct for my children again. She put things in place and order at the beginning so that we were protected throughout the divorce process. All this was handled with her light hearted positive attitude that brought me peace during this terrible time of my life. I owe her forever for what she did for my children/family. Without a doubt I would recommend her and use her.

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 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.
