Best trust lawyer in town

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Vanessa on our trust. She listened, tailored our trust to our individual circumstances, and worked closely with us to create a document we needed. Her fees are incredibly reasonable. More importantly, she cared, she listened and she gave us eve...rything we need for our future planning.

Family Trust

After my mom passed, I was uncertain how to handle her estate. My emotions made it hard to think clearly and I wasn't sure how to create a trust. I met Vanessa and she was very compassionate and knowledgeable. When our meeting was over I felt like a burden had been lifted and that I was in very ca...pable hands. She handled everything for me and I am 100% satisfied with Vanessa as my attorney, also as a caring person whom I consider a friend.

I was very nervous even though was just their to have an Estate Portfolio done for myself. Vanessa was very personable and warming to me. She made me feel very at ease and able to speak to her why I was their. We actually started talking about our personal lives and comparing how much we both were t...rue natives of Phoenix. I was very satisfied with her information and tips that were given to me. Her staff were also helpful. Thank you for this opportunity and yes I will return if I need any other assistance from her.

Excellent Lawyer

Vanessa assisted me in the adoption process of my daughter. My wife and I were very satisfied with her professionalism from the initial consultation to the final adoption hearing. Vanessa met and exceeded our expectations by explaining each process in detail. Vanessa ensured that my wife and I were... always in the loop and nothing was sugar coated. Vanessa and her team embraced my family and clearly displayed support for the adoption of a same sex couple. We were very happy with our decision to hire Vanessa Heim as our adoption lawyer.

Minor name change

Vanessa was my minor daughter's attorney for her name change. Vanessa was patient and compassionate through the whole process. Vanessa worked diligently to hire the out of state professionals required by the court and made sure my daughter and I knew every move that was being made by Vanessa's team. ...I would strongly Vanessa for any legal needs!!
