Meet Heather
Clarity before decisions.

Heather is passionate about ensuring her clients feel well informed throughout the entire litigation process and firmly believes no question is a dumb question.
Heather is re-married, has three adult children, and has a deep love for dogs, especially her French bulldog Rosie.
