Excellent and knowledgeable lawyer

Ms Heim helped me with my will and few other legal documents. There were great factirs and qualities that impressed me about her. First of all ... communication ... Ms Heim and her team have very effective and clear communication style. I knew what was expected from me, what wiulf be our next ste...p in my legal process, what her role was in helping me. I mever felt blind-sided or disconnected inthe process. Secondly ... competence ... Ms Heim is a very conpetent lawyer. She understands complexity of the case and make the right and legal moves very effectively. Thirdly ... kindness and patience ... these are the most important qualities that she has. She listens to the client and understands what needs to be done for them. While she is working through the legal documents which are at times frustrating to read and understand even for an educated person with all the big words and phrases; it is her patience and kind personality that make the client at ease to ask questions, pause, and take time to comprehend the process without being rushed or pushed to sign or agree to something. I higly recommend her to anyone seeking a great lawyer with a great legal knowledge and excellent customer care.

Will, Living Will,POA

I consulted and hired Vanessa Heim in regards to doing my will. She clearly informed me of the process and went over the outline of important details. She gave me an outline of the information I would need to complete the process. She was there for any questions and concerns, had responded quickly to... any messages. I sent her the information, which she compiled for the signing. I went into the office for the signing. Everything was well organized. My paperwork was ready in a nice binder. During the process she went over each section in case there were further questions. The whole process was easy and fast.

Last Will and Testament Documents

My son recommended Vanessa to my wife and me, as he was very pleased with her handling of his and his wife's will several years ago. I called to set up an initial consultation with Vanessa, and she clearly explained to us during this consultation what information was needed to draw up our wills and ...whether our situation could best be handled with a will or living trust. She also clearly stated what our fee would be for her services. After this hour-long meeting, we decided to go ahead and hire Vanessa to meet our legal needs. Our meeting with her was very cordial, and she answered all of our questions, both in person and via email. The document signing meeting went very smoothly as well. I would strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking legal advice regarding wills and trusts!
