The Impact of Professionalism and Practice in Action

Most recently I was flabbergasted when served with a domestic violence restraining order. I subsequently was directed to the law offices of Heather Hoover. It was at the beginning of the busy Christmas season. Her legal decisiveness and the manner in which she handled the intricacies of this case ...which spanned an 8 year period was remarkable. Heather worked quickly consolidating all the facets of the case and presented the matter in court within three weeks. The court ruled in my favor dismissing the restraining order. We are grateful for her integrity, diligence and consideration in always responding quickly and efficiently to our questions and concerns. She is an outstanding attorney. Jodi and the staff are the best!

Great lawyer

Heather was very helpful. I initially had a different lawyer in town and after many difficulties getting them to return phone calls or to help me with questions, I finally switched to Heather Hoover and was very glad I did. She is hard working, funny (at times when you need it the most) and honest. S...he wants what’s best for you and your kids.

Top Notch

From the very beginning Heather coached me on keeping my composure during this tough situation. I am a father of a typical one night stand and my daughter is ten years old now and me and my now wife have been in my child’s life and had been co parenting with the mother of my child all this time and o...ut of nowhere after nine years she decided to come after me for child support but wouldn’t give me no rights with my child nor wanted a proper parenting plan just her plan and when I tell you Heather went to bat she did just that. I couldn’t be more happy with the results I have a scheduled 50/50 parenting plan we both are primary nobody has more rights than the other parent which was what I wanted and I pay no child support. I really appreciate Heather and the whole team for the professionalism, calm, peaceful out come and I recommend her to any man fighting for his rights and time as a father without all the drama

Exactly what I was looking for

When I was looking for help with my divorce, I had trouble even getting a call back from the big family law firms around town. My case wasn't flashy or dramatic - probably not a lot of billing hours, just paperwork and advice needed. Heather was more than happy to fit me in. She gave excellent inform...ation, made her boundaries clear, and helped me get free of my marriage with very little fuss at all. She also helped me mentally prepare for a worst case scenario, even though we didn't need it. I also appreciate how careful she with her clients' time($).

Amazing representation

Heather was able to quickly and efficiently identify the issues, evaluate options, and argue for reasonable outcomes. When necessary, Heather also fought fiercely to protect my custody rights and pursue a fair result for my case. Heather is highly organized and I was impressed by how responsive she w...as to my emails and questions throughout the process. I would highly recommend Heather as an extremely professional and talented family law attorney.
