Heather L Crawford

Heather was actually initially retained by my sister to pursue guardianship or our mother, an incapacitated adult. The case was complicated because our mother is married and her spouse did not want my sister to be awarded guardianship, in spite of the fact he cannot care adequately for mom and mom wa...s being neglected. Heather worked hard to approach the situation legally and diplomatically while at the same time maintaining a strong, firm line where mom's husband was concerned. She was prompt, thorough, and organized; certainly more organized than the Commissioner who was in the court when guardianship was awarded! Now that guardianship is decided, Heather is assisting us now with divorce proceedings against the spouse of our mother. Although we have, of course, retained a separate divorce attorney, the divorce is going nowhere due to lack of action on the part of the attorneys involved and Heather has been willing to assist with moving the divorce along so that we can hopefully have resolution on the situation soon.

Heather quickly agreed to take on my case, even though she had to take it over from a different lawyer due to a conflict of interest at another firm. She was an excellent communicator and was timely with all of her correspondence. I greatly appreciate how well written and thought out the documents we...re regarding the contested will.

Heather was efficient and timely in helping with our complicated case. She contacted and expedited APS and obtained a Guardian ad Lidem and coordinated meetings, court dates and contacted financial institutions to help us get control of our situation. It has been a pleasure working with Heather. W...e found her to be very experienced and knowledgeable regarding this type of case.

Heather communicated openly to resolve a difficult situation that involved my mother who has dementia. Family members prevented rational discussions, that retaining Heather as my attorney to represent me in court was the hardest decision for me to make. I can honestly say her advice, being a good lis...tener, and acting on the concerns I expressed made the issues less stressful. Heather is professional and understanding. Her knowledge and expertise, along with support in decision-making has been incredible. I am very grateful in hiring Ms. Crawford as my attorney.
