Heidi A Machen

Ms. Machen came to the rescue of my business and commercial realestate investment in early 2013 when I needed to end a partnership that had gone bad. She is an extremely smart and flexible attorney who untangled a very complex set of legal problems and put me in a much better position than when we ...hired her. I can honestly say that her legal services were a very good investment because Ms. Machen saved me tens of thousands of dollars by negotiating a very favorable final deal and covering all the legal "bases" which forced my former partner into having to be honest and keep his contractual commitments. Just recently, when my wife needed an employment law attorney in early 2014, we returned to Ms. Machen and she gave us the information we needed to make the best possible decisions during a very difficult time for us. As Ms. Machen would say, she takes her “counselor-at-law” title very seriously. In our experience, Ms. Machen brings compassion, responsiveness, humanity and honesty to provide valuable options for her clients

When I unexpectedly and suddenly lost my job, I was extremely depressed, struggling to make ends meet and believed that my employer had discriminated against me. Fortunately, I contacted and engaged Heidi Machen who interviewed me about my experience, gathered the necessary evidence to prove my case... and gave me a straight assessment of my chances for winning a wrongful termination claim. She listened from the very beginning and gave me the strong guidance I needed. Ms. Machen worked hard for me and used her lawyerly skills of negotiation and communication to achieve a favorable result within a relatively short time without having to go to trial. She kept me in the loop throughout. I greatly appreciate her taking me on as a client and highly recommend her as an attorney to other employees who have been treated unfairly in the workplace.

Ms Machen is a very practical and smart lawyer. I went to her in some confusion about a strange interaction with my employer. She helped me figure out that I didn't have a legal claim yet, but how I could protect myself if my employer continues to harass me. It was great advice and a very worthwhile ...2-hour planning session.

Heidi has been handling a wrongful termination case for me which is still in progress. She has excellent communication skills and a great personality and always knows exactly what the options are likelihoods are. Her demand letter to the company was well written and she has taken initiative to foll...ow up with the process. She's also gone out of her way a few times helping me with things not directly related to the case. It's been a real pleasure working with her.

When a government regulatory agency denied me a permit for which I had waited for decades, I hired Heidi. She is a positive, bright, informed, highly connected, pleasant, and healthy woman with great communication and fast and effective brain. In a short period of time, she helped me to obtain my pe...rmit and gave me regular updates on her progress. If you have to hire an attorney to deal with government bureaucracy, hire Heidi because she knows how it works.
