The best lawyer anyone could wish for.

I found Heidi Lauer on Avvo when I needed to help my father with his divorce. She immediately put me at ease, explained the divorce process clearly, and set up a meeting in my home with my dad, step mom, and me to explain things more fully. She negotiated an amicable settlement between my parents. La...ter, unfortunately, my step mother decided to retain another lawyer, and what would have been a very civil divorce turned adversarial. Fortunately, Heidi is equally versed in amicable mediation as well as in shutting down and wading through unrealistic, unnecessary, and unscrupulous demands. After many months of "negotiation", my parents settled for the same fair settlement that Heidi suggested that first afternoon in my living room. I would highly recommend Heidi Lauer to anyone in need of a fair, honest, intelligent, easy to understand, ethical, and compassionate attorney. It's been a long road, but we couldn't have arrived at this satisfactory conclusion without her. We're truly fortunate we found her.

Heidi's the BEST!!!

Wow, I love Heidi! From the first conversation I was impressed by how knowledgeable and intuitive she is. She asked all the right questions, and I trusted her right from the start. I love that she is savvy and strategic yet committed to the best -- and least expensive -- outcome for all, especially... for my kids. She takes a long view and knows that one day my ex-wife and I will be sharing grandkids, so we want to resolve things as amicably as possible.. Heidi is not your traditional lawyer, which I find refreshing. She doesn't demand a huge upfront retainer, and in fact is willing to be extremely flexible with payment arrangements, which I needed and appreciated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Heidi is an excellent mediator!

Heidi mediated my divorce. She gave us great advice to come up with a plan that would really work for our family. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, responded to every query promptly, and she helped remind us to do our best for our children and remain civil throughout what could have been an UGLY p...rocess. I have recommended her to others since and they are very thankful to Heidi as well.

Her Avvo answers are consistent accurate and customized to the needs of the Avvo asker.These are exactly the qualities that a client would be looking for when seeking representation."
