Heather was the best choice I could have made in handling my divorce. She was always an email or call away when I needed advice or to alleviate different concerns throughout the process. She’s very knowledgeable in family law, and I’ve recommended her to others who have also hired her. I know in hiring her I got the most professional and compassionate service in the Pittsburgh area.

Heather supported me during difficult moments and helped me improve a challenging child custody case. I specifically appreciated her responsiveness, guidance and communication throughout the process. She even improved the communication with the opposing counsel. Thank you Heather.

Heather has gone to great lengths to provide me with best in class counsel. She is realistic, and she is genuinely concerned about my well-being. I have never felt as I was simply another client to her. I, of course, would never have wanted to have to go through this process. However, Heather's professionalism and genuine demeanor has taken a tremendous burden off of me and is greatly appreciated.

Heather is very professional ,and has the ability to be assertive and aggressive at that the same time! She had a sincere interest in my divorce, I wasn't just a client she treated me as family. Her staff is always available and responded to me in a timely manner. I will continue to use Heather and will refer her to my friends and family.

I would highly recommend you hire Heather Schmidt. She is tough and smart. She fought for me and won. I now have shared custody of my son even though his mother tried every trick in the book to try to discredit me, even filing false charges against me. Heather was able to convince the judge that these allegations were false through her expertise at cross-examination. Hire her, she will really fight for you too!

Heather was professional and prepared at all times; I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and capable divorce attorney. She was timely with filings and responses, and provided excellent counsel. She was available to answer my questions and provide guidance.

Heather and her team are top notch. Class, professional, to the point, and get it settled. She puts opposing counsel in its place with just a few words. She is well spoken and respected. She does not feed you fluff. You will know where you stand. And she will do her best to make sure you come out of a bad situation the best you can. Beauty, brains, and brawn. Haha. Top notch.

Heather is very knowledgeable and informs me of what to do. My divorce is not over yet but my I am very hopeful!!

Heather Lynn Schmidt helped make a difficult situation a little easier. During our first meeting is was apparent that she wanted to understand the full story to best point me in the right direction. After that first appointment I knew I was in good hands. Always being responsive to my questions I felt completely at ease and comfortable that she was taking care of what she said she would. Her experience shows in her proactiveness and meeting preparation. Although my case was complicated the opposing council never seemed to grasp and understand the details as Heather did. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for attorney in any aspect of family law

Heather is the Shark! She has been very aggressive when needed and when appropriate. She has listened to my needs and concerns as the client, but also has been able to balance my requests, yet be diligent in looking out for my best interests as my attorney. I can't say enough because I was in a major, at least in my terms, a major custody battle and she prevailed or rather pulled through for me and my son! I can't thank her enough and spread the good word about Heather and her level of knowledge and expertise in family law regarding divorce and custody. It just flows and comes naturally for Heather-there is no hesitation! She knows her stuff! I don't believe I would be where I am today without Heather-I meant this! These words are expressed with the sincerest gratitude!

Why this review title? Because in addition to protecting me financially, Heather put to the highest standards the security and best interest of my two children and my own personal safety. During the whole process Heather showed dignity, respect, and compassion. She did this all with strong conviction and powerful knowledge.

I highly recommend her for any bread-winning mother going through a separation with children. Heather not only helped me with my divorce (slow and long process not at our doing), but also with spousal support challenges, child support and child custody issues. As we hit a few bumps through the "Injustice System", we were able to communicate well and move forward. Heather knows the system, processes and people, and was effective at guiding for the next upcoming step. She handles issues concisely and with care. Glad to have Heather on my side through such an unknown and emotional process.
