I hired Heather as my lawyer for my divorce. She was thorough, careful and detailed - and also really pleasant to work with. She was responsive to emails and answered every question I had. She’s trustworthy and helps to make sure you have all the information you need to make good, informed decisions. I felt confident I was proceeding in a way that was in my best interests. I would definitely recommend Heather to my friends and family.

HIGHLY recommend Heather in any family law matter. She operates with integrity and compassion while aggressively representing her clients. She is an outstanding negotiator and litigator. Her depth of knowledge, her exhaustive preparation and her attention to detail are exceptional - characteristics that proved invaluable in my divorce case. I also appreciated her awareness of the legal costs and her judgment on when costs outweighed the potential benefits to me. An outstanding lawyer in every way!

In my separation and divorce, Heather Collier represented me with skill and excellent judgment. Her advice was not only legally sound, but practical. She demonstrated financial sophistication in assisting and advising on how to handle some complex financial issues that arose in the negotiation of the divorce agreement. Throughout, Heather was proactive, efficient, cost-effective and responsive.

It was a real pleasure to work with Heather, who brought the competence and the confidence that I needed to face an unexpected request for divorce. Importantly, Heather was also great in dealing with the complex and more rare international features of my case, which she researched and read up on in a tight time frame. While Heather is clearly experienced with litigating and defending a client's interests in court, she was able to avoid litigation in my case and achieve the outcome I prioritised. Overall, it was a pleasure to interact and spar together including on strategy. I appreciated our open conversations and her frank advice, in person or in phone calls taken around the world.

I worked with Heather on my pre-nuptial agreement. She is fantastic. I was nervous going in and unsure of what to expect. Heather made me feel fully supported and on my side. Heather makes it very clear that when you are working with her, you are her priority. She will fight for you. It's you and her against the world and she is ready to take on whatever comes her way with tenacity, a sharp strategy and holistic understanding of the process - AND what reaction to expect from the other party. Throughout our time working together, Heather was extremely responsive and always kept me apprised, ensuring I understood every nitty-gritty detail. She is an excellent communicator with outstanding attention to detail. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Heather - and have her on my side!

Heather and I worked closely together on my child support case for several months. I was impressed by how responsive she was, and the depth of advice she offered me regarding me case. I always felt in very good hands with her. I recommend her highly.

I can attest that during my long and bitter divorce proceedings, I initially retained other Attorneys. After I had an opportunity to evaluate the knowledge demonstrated, attention to detail, and most importantly, results I was seeing, I felt it wise to seek out an attorney who I was most comfortable; one who was better suited to successfully represent my needs. Upon making the change to law Offices of Dragga, Hannon, Hessler & Wills, LLP, and particularly, Mrs. Heather Collier, I saw a higher level of skilled performance and demonstrable results which quickly assured me of not only her ability in the courtroom, but her attention to my needs outside of the courtroom as well. She is a fighter. She made sure that I did the right thing rather than what I wanted to do which ultimately helped get the results I wanted. Mrs. Collier is someone who communicates well, who does not beat around the bush and also has a good rapport with the judges who oversee these type proceedings. They seemed to trust what she was telling them. Also of importance, I never felt over-billed. I never felt like I was “nickel and dimed”. Heather always was quick to reply to my questions or any of my calls. My experience with Heather was a very positive one. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to get it right the first time when going through a divorce. I strongly believe that no one will fight harder or do a better job for you than Heather Collier.

I was happy that Heather was able to take on my case mid stream after discovery. Over the course of two years with my previous attorney it felt like at every turn I was blindsided by my ex or her attorney. Each reaction had significant cost associated with it. When my ex had switched to the personal injury lawyers of family law, I was bombarded with false accusations and unreasonable demands. Things were getting worse. Heather ended all of that. It is amazing what having a good attorney did for me. My stress level dropped significantly. Heather had what other attorneys lacked, a clearly thought out strategy. Rather than react to the other attorney's games, each step Heather took was carefully planned to maximize the results for the least amount of cost to me. If you are going through a difficult divorce, Heather is who you want out in front.

Heather Collier agreed to represent me in my divorce case after I unexpectedly parted ways with my attorney whom I had been working with for a year. I was very upset and overwhelmed but I quickly realized it was a blessing in disguise that Heather would be taking over my case. She listened to what I wanted to accomplish in my divorce agreement and was able to lead me in a direction that would settle my case. She explained thoroughly where I should expect to compromise and pushed in the areas that would help me and my children. She came up with creative solutions instead of taking the easier road and didn’t push me to agree with anything that I didn’t completely understand. Heather and her team responded to every email and phone call almost immediately and constantly updated me on my case. Going through a divorce is extremely emotional and the process isn’t easy, but Heather’s professionalism and attention to detail, combined with her big heart and sensitivity, was a perfect combination to get my case settled. She is very smart, has great negotiating skills, has a great rapport with opposing counsel and knows how to get the job done. Without hesitation, I would recommend Heather to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Heather Collier handled my divorce. I was a new mom and had no idea what I was doing. To be honest, I was overwhelmed by everything at that time. At our consultation, Heather asked questions and did an excellent job of making me aware of things I had not even considered with regards to divorce and custody. In addition, she really listened to me and helped ease my concerns. Heather was the only attorney I met with because she proved off the bat that she was professional, smart, and capable, but also sympathetic and understanding. Throughout the process, Heather and her legal assistant, Myesha, were responsive and continually updated me on the status of my case. When drafting and negotiating my agreement, Heather provided excellent recommendations and legal advice. My divorce ended up having to be filed in a different state. Heather connected me with another attorney that could process the filing for me. She stayed in touch until everything was complete. Additionally, my second attorney commented on how impressed he was with the divorce agreement I had; it was very much in my favor. While no divorce is easy, Heather made the process as painless as possible by being professional, smart, sympathetic, responsive, attentive, and focused on my case.

To Whom It May Concern: Going through family court has got to be one of the most stressful situations to experience. You have to make decisions that will affect you and your children’s everyday life. Heather Collier was recommended to me by a longtime friend. Once meeting Heather, I realized why she was recommended. At our first meeting she was very welcoming and attentive. Soon I realized that, that was her personality. Every time I spoke to her, I felt as if I was her only client as she always recalled every detail of my case. She was very professional and honest about everything, she listened very attentively to what I wanted and my needs. If I did not feel comfortable with an arrangement, she would exhaust every other possibility, in order to come to a solution. At the same time when I needed to hear the hard truth, she would also lay it straight to me. I needed those nudges from her. Heather always gave me the feeling that I was in control and if I did not agree with something, then we would find another solution that I could agree with. The staff at Dragga, Hannon, Hessler & Willis is Fantastic. Everyone always has a smile, are professional and polite. Vanessa at the front desk always remembered me and Myesha is very well organized and very professional, I always felt that all of my confidential information was secure. During the course of my case there were several associates that helped with my case and every one of them was very friendly and helpful. I always felt well taken care of.

Heather Collier is an excellent attorney. I hired her to handle my alimony case. She is highly respected, extremely knowledgeable, confident and compassionate. She helped me get through every aspect of a difficult alimony case. She communicated with me constantly and never failed to answer my questions no matter what time of day or night. After using 2 previous attorneys, she was the one who was on top of her game and kept me informed of every detail. She digs under every stone to get the best for her clients. She is not afraid to take on any other attorneys and is well respected by the court. Her colleagues at Dragga, Hannon, Hessler & Wills were also very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend Heather for any family law issue.
