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.

Heather Collier handled all aspects of my divorce from start to finish -- including (among other things) strategy, custody, financial, negotiation, court, and written work. Overall, Ms. Collier does A+ work -- and I am not an easy grader. She is smart and savvy and, even in this emotional arena, maintains professional composure that produces terrific results. Moreover, I was impressed by the way in which she could delineate and follow the overall strategy while at the same time being attentive to details that, in the aggregate, mattered too. Ms. Collier also is unique in the sense that she is highly responsive to e-mails and requests for teleconferences (and I can say this with certainty given that I too am a lawyer). In addition, she is efficient, pleasant, and has a good personality to boot. In short -- and I could write thousands of words about her work -- Ms. Collier is outstanding. The process was great, and the results that she produced in my case were remarkable. I have referred numerous others to Ms. Collier (and her firm) and recommend her without any qualifications whatsoever. So, if you need an excellent and efficient family law lawyer, you should simply do yourself a favor and contact her.
