Heather Michelle Salvador

I hired Heather for a child support arrears case. I paid a $5500 retainer and after 2 months, she not only did not show up in court, she hired a uber attorney to dimiss the case with out my consent. I hired her in Late december 2018, and now as of today 6/2/19. i have neither received a bill of servi...ce, or any communication what so ever.. I have filed a complaint against her with the CALIFORNIA BAR ASSOCIATION, AND THE CLIENT RELIEF FUND. Feeling ripped off !

I hired Ms. Salvador during my most troubled times. She was nice, pleasant and seemed to have the answers. But once she collected fees she did little. We had a 4 way meeting with the opposing attorney and she said and did little to help me, I was on my own. The opposing attorney had plenty for me... but Ms. Salvador sat quiet and did not say anything until after they left. Phone calls, text messages unanswered. Found out from the opposing attorney that she changed her email address after I had returned emails for weeks. I had to wait at her office to get an answer about my case and what was going to happen. Her office is located inside of a massage parlor. A teenage boy calls me to make appointments for her (her son's friend). So many personal excuses for not following up. She owes me the remainder of my retainer which she hasn't paid back. Frivolous meetings, poor communication and too many personal excuses for an attorney that should be helping her clients. I am filing a complaint with the California State Bar for unprofessional behavior, frivolous meetings (no action) and no return of unused retainer. What a waste of money and time.

She talks a good game, but has no follow through. She did not return my phone calls, emails or texts. She failed in her fiduciary duty, not objecting, not telling me what was going on, not asking me what I wanted to do, she made all the decisions and they were not in my (or my child's) best interes...t. There was domestic violence in my home and she did not fight to protect me or my child!
