Reviews

It saddens me to have to write a review like this but given the situation, I feel it's best to get this out into the public to warn any future clients. I am writing this review to express my utmost disappointment with the legal services provided by Heidi E. Opinsky. Unfortunately, my experience with her has been nothing short of frustrating. I hired her for a Prenuptial Agreement and ultimately, had to hire someone else since she was not able to come through in a timely matter. I outline all of the issues below. First and foremost, communication was a major issue throughout the entire process. I spent the time to visit her at her home in mid-March 2023, and did not hear from her or her paralegal Oksana until I had to reach out myself about 7 weeks later, only to be told nothing was done yet. Despite multiple attempts to reach out via email, I received little to no response from Heidi at times. When I did receive a response, it was often delayed and failed to address the concerns or questions I had raised. This lack of timely communication caused unnecessary delays and added to the overall frustration of the situation. It took over 3 months to get a first draft of the agreement. Furthermore, I was deeply dissatisfied with the way misrepresented her schedule. I was under the impression that my case would receive the attention and priority it deserved, but unfortunately, that was far from the reality. It became evident that my case was not given the necessary time and effort, leaving me feeling neglected and disregarded as a client. She had a trial that she did not tell me about when I met with her. The trial took precedent clearly over my legal matters. Lastly, it is worth mentioning that the documents prepared by Heidi contained numerous spelling errors and were clearly rushed. This lack of attention to detail and professionalism is simply unacceptable, considering the importance and sensitivity of legal matters. I wound up editing my own prenuptial agreement since it took her almost a month to make two quick changes that took me a total of 4 minutes to make. As a result of all of the aforementioned issues, I thought it was best to obtain another lawyer (who was able to write up a very thorough prenuptial agreement within one week of meeting him); something that should have been taken care by her given the time I gave her. This cost me additional thousands of dollars. Overall, my experience with Heidi E. Opinsky was nothing short of a disappointment. The lack of communication, misrepresentation of availability, failure to provide requested services, and the presence of spelling errors in legal documents, all highlight a significant lack of professionalism and dedication. I would strongly caution anyone considering legal services from Heidi to seek alternative options. I sincerely hope that Heidi and her staff takes this feedback constructively and makes the necessary improvements to provide a better experience for future clients.

Ms. Opinsky was the best choice once I realized I needed to get divorced. I had a complicated case with custody battles, finances, and problematic family members. With the help of Ms. Opinsky, I was able to protect myself in ways I didn't know were possible. I can't thank her enough for her work.

Heidi is a great attorney. She works endlessly for her clients. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to handle my case. Her knowledge of both CT and NY family law sets her apart from others.

Heidi was the best decision I made in my divorce. She helped me every step of the way and knew the right calls.

I came to Heidi a few months into my post-divorce life. I had been battling with my controlling and difficult spouse on our custody agreement. Heidi worked tirelessly to protect my children and myself. I would recommend Heidi’s services to any friend or family as she handled my case with such ease. She made me feel comfortable and safe during tough times.

I met with and hired Ms. Opinsky for really diligent and detail-oriented legal services for my divorce. It was a highly contentious divorce concerning custody and visitation issues, as well as high net worth asset distribution and support. Ms Opinsky was always prepared and excellent in court. I was very satisfied with the result and would recommend her highly.

I heard of Ms. Opinsky years ago from a friend who had gone through a painful divorce from her husband of 15 years. When I knew I was in need of a lawyer myself for mediation, I couldn't have been more pleased with my friend's review. After now being recently divorced, my friend and I couldn't agree more that Ms. Opinsky is highly sensible and most importantly, reasonable with her fees. She was more than I ever could have asked for in a lawyer.

My experience working with Heidi Opinsky will be remembered for the 'excellent results' she achieved in ultimately settling my divorce proceeding to be both financially favorable and relatively quick for me and my children. I was made to be strong and confident each step in the legal process and recommend Heidi Opinsky without reservation.

I retained Ms. Opinsky to represent me in my divorce in 2015. Though I had never imagined I would have to file for a divorce with my spouse of 27 years, Heidi made every step of the way more bearable. She was compassionate, knowledgable, and supportive throughout my entire case. She is very proactive and always prepared. Even when I came in to her office crying, she knew exactly what to do to make sure I was comfortable. Heidi was also excellent on her feet in court and was always able to answer any questions I had. She made me feel confident that I was in the right hands. I would most definitely recommend Ms. Opinsky to any individual going through a divorce.

My divorce was very complicated because of my wife's complex business structure. Heidi was able to unravel the true economic position of my spouse by developing a pinpoint discovery list which enabled her to locate hidden assets and to detect valuable intellectual property of significant value . She was a strong advocate for my cause.She was professional in court and an effective cross examiner. She was a pleasure to work with and as a result Ireceived a very successful result from the court . I recommend her highly

I retained Ms. Opinsky, a Partner at McCarter and English, and felt very comfortable and secure with how she presented herself and how she handled my case from the start. Ms. Opinsky successfully handled complex financial matters in my case, as well as custody and visitation issues. She is knowledgeable, skilled and experienced in the courtroom and was always well-prepared, professional and compassionate. The papers she submitted to the court were excellent. I found that I won legal battles with her assistance, that other prior attorneys did not address properly. She and her firm were always very responsive and available. I was recommended to Ms. Opinsky by other attorneys. I would recommend her highly to anyone encountering marital difficulties requiring legal assistance.

Heidi was a strong advocate for me and my family when I was going through a very emotional time. She was exceptional and handled my finances particularly well. She was able to work with my needs in a very cost-effective way and was great!
