"I have known Heather Pierson for many years and strongly endorse her as an attorney. As a colleague, I find her level of professionalism, passion, and dedication to be extraordinary. Her expansive knowledge of the law and superior instincts make her a skilled litigator; but also important is her ability to identify with her clients. As a former educator Ms. Pierson is instinctively cognizant of her client circumstances which allows her to zealously advocate for their position."
