What clients are saying about Heidi
It has been my pleasure to have worked with Heidi for over 15 years on several real estate transactions and most recently, the sale of my company. Her breadth of knowledge of real estate matters, contracts, employment agreements, financing and acquisitions is impressive and brought a confidence to me, as a client, that the task at hand would be done in an expert fashion. Heidi is one of the most persistent and determined fighters you could have in your corner - whether it is terms for a real estate lease or a clause in a purchase agreement or employment contract. Heidi wants the best for her clients and she fights for it.
Attention to detail is another attribute that I look for in an attorney - Heidi not only sweats the details, but proposes and highlights the pros and cons - making recommendations that again, benefit the client.
Finally, Heidi took ownership of the projects she worked on for me as if they were her own. You can't ask for more than that. It instilled great confidence and the results were always positive. You do not see this characteristic in professionals today very often - but when you do, you are immediately drawn to it, for good reason.
I strongly recommend Heidi as a top flight counsel choice for any firm or individual.
