Heather Murray Allan

I originally hired Heather for the final stages of a dissolution I had already started but things took a sudden and ugly turn and I needed her for full representation. She’s the best decision I’ve ever made and not because this journey has been easy. Divorce in itself is a nasty and very expensive th...ing but adding custody/visitation into the mix pulls out the absolute worst in people, myself included. Over the last 4 1/2 years, she has been able to navigate all of my emotional outbursts, break downs and at times, completely insane behavior with a sense of calm and professionalism that I am ever so grateful for. She knows the law and understands what’s valid and relevant to present before the courts. She’s taught me that at the end of the day, you will have to give concessions and ignore your own personal frustration for sake of peace and the bigger picture and there are things you have no control over, no matter how it makes you feel. Actual family law isn’t what I thought it was. Outside of God, Heather’s support, ability to keep me grounded with her spot on legal counsel in my ongoing battle have been the only thing that I have been able to count on throughout all of my trials and tribulations. I have yet to lose any of my major requests and I attribute that to her expertise and logic. There are things that I felt strongly about but in the eyes of the law, my emotions sometimes had to take a back seat and Heather has always been empathetic with me and in the handling of my case. She won’t cut corners, sacrifice her integrity or violate her oath of ethics, these facts may not make her a match for people seeking to undermine the law. Heather has been absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her.

Heather has represented me in a very messy divorce. Most lawyers will do what ever you want because they get paid no matter what happens. She has advised me many times that I was right but would spend lots of money trying to prove it and it would cost more to prove a point. I have followed her advise... throughout this case and have come out on top almost the whole way. I am a male and usually the court is very gender bias. She new what the judges where looking for , and how to present my case in a way that was straightforward with out all the emotion in it. I have recommended her to several of my co workers and they were extremely happy with her. She was s recommendation from a friend as well. I would highly recommended her to anyone.

I've interviewed 5 family lawyers to help me with my case, with a specific set of criteria: someone with a significant hands-on court-room experience, highly professional, confident and assertive, yet not overly aggressive. To a large extent you look for a lawyer that will match your personality. Hea...ther has been amazing. Very experienced, works with you ahead of time to get ready, comes prepared, knows the details of the case better than the other guys, commands the court room while being very courteous. You can see the judge has a lot of respect to her. A true example of how an honest professional can help you stand tall in court. And, she does not waste your time and money: delegates to associates where possible, spends and bills reasonable amounts of time. Definitely a 5-star, and would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat!
