Excellent and fast pre-nup !!!

When my divorce lawyer was too busy to complete my marriage pre-nup, she recommended Heather to me, and boy am I happy she did. She listened to all of my thoughts and ideas regarding fairness and made some excellent suggestions many of which I adopted in the final draft. She did such a good job that... my fiancee's lawyer thought it was one of the best pre-nups she had ever seen. She also made sure the my fiancee was properly represented. THANKS HEATHER!!!

Alimony assistance

I have a learning disability, anxiety and depression, which had all gotten much worse prior to my wife's decision to divorce me. My wife tried to get out of permanent spousal support altogether, but thanks to Heather's intelligent, expert and knowledgeable assistance, I've got the support I needed. T...hanks, Heather!

A secure future thanks to Heather J. Smith

Heather helped me with a complicated dissolution that included tax matters, business and property issues as well as other difficulties. Upon the first meeting, I knew she had the strength, wisdom and ability to take on the myriad issues. During the process, I learned how perceptive she was in me...eting my specific needs. She listened carefully and explained legal procedures with efficiency. Above all, her compassion and focus on integrity carried me through many difficult moments. Due to the special traits of Heather J. Smith, I have had an entirely positive outcome which has helped me secure my future and move on.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
