Lacy Westfall Heinz

Lacy’s lifelong experience as an advocate for children and vulnerable adults is integral to her family practice. She is driven to help families in crisis find meaningful, durable solutions to complex problems through collaborative or mediated problem-solving. When cooperative work fails, Lacy utilizes litigation skills attained as a former prosecutor and works passionately on behalf of clients in the courtroom.

A 2005 University of Oregon Law graduate, Lacy served as the elected Student Bar President and liaison to the Dean. Upon graduating, she accepted the role of Assistant City Attorney in Yakima and in 2008 opened her own long-running practice focused on foster-adoption, Guardian ad Litem work, and support for vulnerable adults and their families. After a brief hiatus from practice to focus on her children, Lacy reinstated her license in 2018 and joined Betsy Brinson's long-time family law practice.

Brinson & Heinz Family Law Attorneys focus primarily on divorce, parentage and adoption with special attention to collaborative work. Lacy is a member of Collaborative Professionals of Washington and the Whatcom Collaborative Law group.
