Firm Profile

Heather is an experienced family law attorney and mediator working with individuals and families experiencing the end of a marriage or having post-dissolution disputes. She encourages mediation and Collaborative Practice, as a means to resolve party differences. However, should litigation be necessary, Heather has the skill and experience to assist you. She has extensive experience in a wide range of family law matters, including dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child custody and visitation, restraining orders, property and business divisions, child and spousal support and step-parent adoptions.
