About Heather
Biography
No good thing ever happens in court. Most lawyers won't tell you this.
When a new client comes to my office, I do everything in my power to convince them not to involve attorneys. I do not relish helping grownups fight over toys in a sandbox. If I am told, "It's the principal," I ask a prospective client please to articulate said principal. Nine times out of ten, they cannot do so. For those that do come up with an answer, I then ask if the stated principal is worth $100,, which is about the least they can expect to pay for litigation through trial. Clients who have not been through litigation often don't understand that the other side is likely not interested in what's right, what's fair, or what the outcome should be. Rather, the other side is probably interested in one thing: billing fees. (Note: If your lawyer has monogrammed coasters, you are paying too much in attorneys' fees.) Sadly, most lawyers are not in the business of pursuing justice, they are in the business of making money. This should change your cost-benefit analysis before pursuing litigation.
Nevertheless, unfortunately there are times when lawyers become a necessary evil. I am a pragmatist, which is an odd feature in a my profession. My clients know that I am all about efficiency and care about their bottom line. I do everything in my power to minimize fees and expedite results while delivering quality work product. I see zealous representation as a job description. If I do not believe in your case, I won't take it.

An ethical attorney - rare indeed!
I have known Ms. Hendrix almost since she first began to practice law about 12 years ago. She is extremely intelligent, as well as insightful, creative, compassionate, realistic, resourceful and ethical - and she also has a great sense of humor.

Heather M Hendrix's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I had the pleasure of clerking for Heather while in law school and was honored to be invited to continue working for her as a lawyer for three years at The Hendrix Law Office.

"In the past several years that I have known and worked with Heather, I have found her to be one of the most detail oriented, focused and ethical lawyers in the industry. I have worked with Heather on several issues and would highly recommend her as a true professional."
"I've known Heather since she contacted me through the State Bar's Mentor Program. She has always been an intelligent, intense and quick attorney, and has always been particularly interested in staying inside the ethical rules while vigorously representing her clients. After getting to know her sincerity about quality practice, I referred her several clients in matters ranging from litigation to general business representation. Every one, without exception, has sung her praises to me, and thanked me for the referral. Because some of the people I referred were very sophisticated consumers of legal services, who were working on time sensitive projects, I was impressed with Heather's ability to understand what a client wants to get done, and to get it done on time and on budget."
