I haven't dealt with many lawyers but I know this lawyer failed my daughter and my grandson. We went with her because we thought she was going to be a good lawyer. We got good recommendations from a couple people and she was also the lawyer of my daughter's abusive ex-husbands first baby mama so we thought they could compare cases and it would be good for both of them but she failed both of them... But mostly the children. His 13 year old son and now the 2 year old. She kept telling my daughter she has to give a little if she wants anything.. her ex-husband totally abused her the whole entire time they were married. He's a narcissist and he's a hurtful angry person. He locked her out of her own home that she purchased out of her money... He then destroyed her home ripping doors off hinges punching and stabbing holes in the walls, destroying floors by stabbing them.. and yet her her lawyer that she had paid well over $20,000 for never discussed anything with her. Never met with her in court to discuss things with her before going before the judge. Showed up late all the time or didn't show up at all. I don't know how she goes home to her children everyday and looks them in the face when she put puts other people's children at risk. This man...her ex-husband is a psychopath.. He needs help mentally. He stabbed his own brother in a fit of rage and under the influence of drugs and alcohol he went to prison for it... His rage is still there..his alcohol and drug use is still happening. They are divorced now but she is still dealing with the abuse. She supervises the visits between her son and him ..and he is still abusive to her calling her horrible disgusting names Screaming at her in front of their son. Heidi never brought any of the things my daughter supplied her with and paid plenty to have her read it and print it out telling her to send "everything he does for proof" to show the judge but never showed any of it to the judge telling her it only goes before him if you go to trial and right before trial told her if you don't agree on things the judge will decide for you and he will probably give him unsupervised visits ..so listening to her lawyers advice she settled thinking it was the only way to keep her 2 year old safe sacrificing her safety and her healing to do so.. My heart breaks every time this man abuses her and knowing there are actually people in the world that are supposed to help you especially when you are paying them to do that just go on in their life like nothing ever happened when he also threatened her and his own lawyers (public defenders)..3 to be exact...they all quit..one of his lawyers even filed against him for him threatening him...He even blew up right in front of the judge during one of the court sessions after threatening to kill my daughter and her entire family...If you chose her and are seeing any of this..Quit while you're ahead or if like my daughter you've already paid a small fortune... I'm .sorry & I wish you the best. Please don't trust her... God knows it was one of the biggest mistakes of our lives!
