Lazy

I hired Heritage Law (attorney Liz Gagley) expecting real representation and communication. Instead, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. I was never contacted before my court date, never told what the plan or strategy was. The only real communication I received was an email sayi...ng I lost my case — maybe four sentences long. No explanation, no breakdown, just a quick message and a reference to the “representation agreement” to justify it. Every reply after that felt copy-pasted and dismissive. I understand not every case can be won, but what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication and care. I never once spoke directly with the attorney. It felt like my case was just another file in a stack, not something anyone actually worked on. In my opinion, this firm treats clients like numbers instead of people. I paid expecting effort and guidance but was left in the dark the entire time. I wouldn’t recommend this experience to anyone who expects real communication or professionalism.

Joyce makes claims of absolute certainty of what to expect and is very often completely wrong. She does not instill confidence or even seem well prepared. The outcomes of my cases were not awful but I feel that had nothing to do with her skill or competence as a lawyer. As is typical of lawyers she w...as very active about messaging me to get payment but was a poor communicator otherwise. I would have chosen another attorney but she was unfortunately the only one available locally.

Unfortunately, I am not told who this comment is from. I would be happy to discuss this and would be interested in receiving additional feedback with specifics on how we can improve. It is difficult to determine what went wrong because this person does not disclose anything specific and even says that the result was not awful. Please contact my office. I would encourage any readers of this review to read the many other reviews posted herein and contact us with questions.

Excellent

This was my second time hiring Joyce Heritage for a traffic ticket. Both times, all I had to do was send her office a copy of my ticket and forget about it. As soon as the case was over, I promptly received an email letting me know the results of my case. Thank you.

Excellent representation in Chelan County

Heritage Law represented me in Chelan District Court regarding a speeding citation. They were clear about the fees, the process, kept me informed and ensured this experience was minimally stressful. Follow up after the court ruling was prompt, I couldn't ask for anything more. As a bonus they got my ...case dismissed in a district that is notoriously tough on traffic citations.

Want your case taken care of right?

This is the place to get cases handled the right way. They are not only good at communicating effectively but they get the job done. Thank you so much. I would recommend there services to anyone. I usually read reviews and feel that someone must just get paid to do it. This company made me realize th...ose people who really do deserve a good review. This law firm is it.
