Posted by A.A. | May 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Amazing Experience and Great Relief

I had a case for Domestic Violence. I was interviewing 2 lawyers at the same time. Both lawyers gave me the same information about how to handle my case BUT the reason why I hired Ms. Wise is because she showed me that she really cares about my persona, I didn't feel like I was another case she neede...d to handle and work on. We are human beings and we made mistakes. She listened to me and understood how I felt and what the ramification of the problems I was facing in that moment. I was feeling very vulnerable and she found the way to made me feel relax, calm and believe in the process because she knew that she was able to find the best option to help me out to solve this problem. After a few months going to court multiple times, I am more than happy because my case is dismissed. This was the real problem, I am not a US citizen, just a US residence, this mean that if for some reason I was found guilty, I could be deported of the country because my immigration status doesn't allow me to have this kind of issue with the law. I really highly recommend Ms. Wise not just because she is a great lawyer, she is an amazing person that really cares about people!

Excellent!!

Heather Wise is a great attorney. She has helped me a couple times and I am very glad to have met her. I felt very comfortable right off the bat. She was down to earth, honest, trusting, knew her facts and what she was doing, and all in all I couldn't have asked for a better attorney!
