I spent over $300,000.00 using Heather Thuet as my supposed advocate, She tried to mask her lack of knowledge of the law with haughtiness. i had to go to her colleagues to reason with her. I asked her for written opinions of specific legal questions, she didn't provide them. I have spent millions in legal fees and the money i spent on hiring her was the most ill-spent. She doesn't know the law and she doesn't care to learn it.

Please listen up all Utahns, Heather Thuet was recommended to me by another lawyer and she has proven to be an exceptional advocate. She is efficient, knowledgeable and exceedingly effective. She really cared!! I would recommend Heather with confidence to anyone.

Everyone carries a hope they don’t realize: I hope I never have the need for an attorney. Unfortunately, this hope often means we find ourselves unprepared when the need actually arises. In my case, I found myself involved in a lawsuit with a former friend of mine—someone I had explicitly trusted—and had no idea what to do. Fortunately, another friend of mine found Heather Thuet during a quick Google search for “real estate attorneys.” We called her firm, scheduled a consultation, and prepared for the worst; so many stereotypes exist, painting attorneys as “bloodsuckers” or as someone who is willing to sidestep ethics in order to pad the bill.
Heather completely defied this stereotype. As I started to explain the situation that had brought me to her, she was kind and empathetic. She listened carefully and asked a few questions and I could already see a strategy forming in her head. She knew what to do immediately and her expertise brought such a relief to my anxieties. When the inevitable question of cost came-up, I was thrilled with her description of how things would work. There would, of course, be standard things she would have to be responsible for, but any research that could be done by me would be offered to me first, as a cost saving measure.
Throughout the process, I never felt as if my time was being abused. Heather kept me informed of everything that was happening and was available to answer questions, but nothing was dragged out. She aimed for a settlement so as to avoid the expensive costs of going to court and never filed unnecessary documents with the courts. The other person involved in the lawsuit, my former friend, had an attorney who wasn’t so kind. His counsel submitted a ridiculous number of unnecessary filings and refused a settlement. Despite our efforts, we ended up in a courtroom.
This, however, was where Heather really shined. She prepared me and all of our witnesses for what we should expect while on the stand, she came with all of our exhibits well organized and thought out, and she was ready for whatever the plaintiff’s counsel could have thrown at us. Her courtroom manner is impeccable: professional, intelligent, and very deliberate.
When the judgement was presented, I’m happy to say it was a win for us! We won! My family’s home of ten years was on the line, but the judge found it fitting to allow me to refinance it into my name with nothing owed to the other party.
Heather is a gem. While I would still hope I don’t have need for an attorney again, I would immediately contact Heather if the need ever arose. She was fair, compassionate, and incredibly talented.
