Not Recommended

Hired for divorce. Heather listens but does not come up with solutions. She is defensive when you express concern over your case and the handling of it. She charged me to correct mistakes she made with no apology. I would not recommend Heather.

There's at least one kind and caring lawyer in the world!

I didn't know my husband was leaving me until I woke up one morning to see him moving out. I was in a panic, alone, unemployed, and with minimal funds. Heather was compassionate and took good care of my emotional issues as well as my legal/financial issues. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Heather Unger is amazing!

Heather is currenty my attorney representing me in a very nasty divorce and child custody case. Heather follows through on the things she says she will do. She does it well and she does it in a timely manner. She is not about taking every penny you have so for someone like me that has very limited... resources, Heather is aware of that and takes that into consideration. However, she is always there if I need her, even at 8pm (as has happened before) when things get really ugly! She is very intelligent and well spoken. This divorce and custody battle has been one of the toughest things I have ever been through and God forbid, if I ever had to go through it again it would not be with any other attorney. I am so thankful that Heather is on my side of this circus... I would hate to be opposing counsel or client!!!

Completely satisfied

Heather did an outstanding job as my attorney and handled my divorce case with professionalism as well as compassion. Heather is very timely, does an outstanding job of explaining the process and is very easy to work with.

Fantastic lawyer

I found Heather blindly, on lawyers.com. Heather has been professional, prompt, compassionate and knew exactly how to handle my ex husband. I would highly recommend her for divorce and child custody cases.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've know Heather for over 15 years. She has always been respected by her peers for her thoughtful advocacy and empathy towards her clients. Heather shys away from publicity allowing her to operate under the radar. However, those that have encountered her as opposing counsel are well versed on her ability to efficiently obtain outstanding results. As good as an advocate Heather may be she is a far better compassionate person. I highly endorse this attorney."
