Heather Lee Pietroforte

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY- I wish I could give her zero stars. I was referred to this attorney by a legal service. I called and sent an email. She responded very quickly. I told her of my horrible situation. My mother had passed away very unexpectedly. And we had an issue with the city utilities. ... I needed a letter to the city so I could make decisions and I needed executor (uncontested) and probate services. She said she could take care of everything. I hired her. She got the letter to me within a couple of days along with the documents for my family members to sign. I returned them. I paid her for filing fees a short time later and asked her to move forward. After 2-3 weeks I hadn't heard anything about a court date so I called her and emailed her several times. I spoke with her receptionist who assured me that the messages were forwarded. Approximately 2 weeks later she responded saying the best way to contact her was through email and that the documents hadn't been filed because she was missing a document. I quickly uploaded the document and resent it. Again I reached out it took her over a week to respond and said another document was missing. I advised her that i no longer required her services and requested a full refund of my filing fees. She refused. She said that she was going to deduct her fees and return the rest. I was referred through a legal referral service she had hours that she was to bill them for then myself. She never billed them and hasn't returned my money, it's been 3 1/2 months. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY!

What a horrific experience. Thankfully we were able to hire a competent attorney for our simple cases, however we were never able to recoup the thousands of dollars we gave her for filing wrong motions and even being criticized by the judge on two cases. Hope nobody else falls for her scheme of p...laying attorney.

We met Heather at a guardianship workshop she provided at our son's school. In learning more about her approach and services in a subsequent consultation, we felt that Heather had the right outlook, skill set, and resources to help our family. I especially appreciated how organized everything was, ...and that important information was exchanged through a secure online platform. Heather added unique value to our estate planning through the child protection plan, and the recorded interview. In having been selected as a potential guardian and healthcare advocate for other family members, I can say that the documents and communication I received then were nowhere near as detailed and professional as those that were sent by Heather to our chosen advocates. We were extremely happy with our choice to hire Heather, and feel confident and at peace knowing everything was handled appropriately, and in our family's best interest.
