I regret writing a bad review and only giving Ms. Keith's law firm only 1 star.
. She listened to my concerns and rectified the issues that were of concern to me;, so I would certainly call her again if I have any further legal matters that I need to be resolved.

I'm so grateful I came across Heather. She was not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate, but she was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for me. Moreover, I am so pleased that I now have someone to refer to when they need a smart and compassionate attorney. I cant thank you enough for your generosity and your humanitarian impulse.

I came to this law firm with a friend who wanted a consult. This was the most humane law firm I have been too. Only place where we were treated like people with problems and not a case to earn money. Wish I had know about them during my divorce!!
