Hiring Hailli was truly the best decision I made and in turn I achieved the best possible outcome available to me. From the beginning, I felt my relationship with Hailli was that of a personal one and when it was time to get to business Hailli did nothing short of quite literally, getting things done. Both she and her assistant Yani always made themselves available to me and were very responsive throughout. They were excellent with the hand holding and explanations when needed and then taking things in to their own hands at the end to close things out. I was always informed of reasonable expectations I felt and of course had my fingers crossed for what the best possible outcome might be. In the end Hailli was able to convince the courts of what she was fighting for and what was best for me. She came recommended from a family friend/attorney and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this same situation. Again, thank you Hailli, for everything!
High praise for Hallie Heston and staff for managing my Chapter 13. From beginning to end, Mrs, Heston took charge, and communicated clearly and timely. I appreciated the compassionate advice, and continued support throughout the 3 years in took to discharge within the one time fee. Thank you.
Halli was very compassionate and set both my wife and I at ease at a very difficult time for us. She was very knowledgeable and able to make the process easy for us to complete. Although we are not close friends, both my wife and I feel like we have gained a friend in just working with her. If there is any other legal work that she does that we can access now that we have completed our bankruptcy, we will have no hesitancy in hiring this consummate professional attorney!
Halli and her team were and are fantastic. In a critical time of our lives, filing Bankruptcy, Halli and her team were sensitive to our needs and emotions. Answered questions that may have seemed petty with respect and dignity. The handling of the case and helping us to keep our vehicles meant alot. Thank you Halli Heston and the team at Heston and Heston. Sincerely, Al and Pam T.
Halli was very professional, helpful and a very nice person to speak with regarding my bankruptcy. Everything flowed nicely and put my worries to rest. Would definitely recommend her.
Ms. Heston was referred to me by another attorney that I respect, so I was expecting a lot. And did she ever deliver! This was a very stressful time for me, and I was going through it by myself. I wouldn't say I needed a lot of hand holding, but.... well, OK, I did need a lot of hand holding. I didn't know or understand the process or what I was supposed to do at all. Ms. Heston never allowed me to feel overwhelmed by the whole process and walked me through it. Every time I saw an email from her or talked to her on the phone, I was put at ease, and she would say, we'll get through this. It's what she does, I was never worried. I would recommend Ms. Heston to my friends, family, anyone who needs an excellent attorney. I feel so fortunate to have found her.
When a person looks at Wikipedia for the definition of Friend they don't normally see Attorney or ESQ there in the definition but we want to thank you, Friend. Five + years ago we could not see daylight any longer. We had liquidated assets, savings, retirement and ran up debt just trying to preserve the shelter over our heads. We had leveraged our line of credit in a dark attempt to chart our lives into calmer seas but the storm of the housing industry hit us like a hurricane. We even liquidated a mutual fund just to get into the then 'solution' fad of the day 'modification' only to find we had been prey, that attorney would be later dis-barred. In a last ditch effort I called an old friend I had not talked to since High School, as the HARP law was being rolled out and something happened; a deal was worked out by Chase and our Court appointed legal aid. It was workable, we saw a glimmer of hope, then it was dashed down as we found out WE were a Mortgage Backed Security and the foreclosure King, Deutsche owned our note. They would not approve the plan, the note holder would not approve the modification. A few days later we met with legal aid to see our options and found we had very little, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. My cousin gave us the best possible advice: check the best lawyers in the OC for Chapter 7 & Chapter 13. Then decide. We did that. Halli and you have been indeed the BEST in the OC. You told us up front our requirements, we told you we could do it and you delivered for us. You've always answered every question even when the money pressures got me hot and I got snarky. It has been a long 5 years with many adventures, my wife working two jobs like waitressing at Denny's while stocking shelves at Walmart. To watching every penny and working on a 2nd job myself, just to stay in the plan. Thanks again, Job well done Ms. Halli Heston ESQ and the Heston team, Friends. Dennis & Susie
My husband and I had first gone to a different attorney and the information she had given us didn't sound right. We researched to find another attorney and the one that was highly recommended to us was Halli Heston. We found her to be everything we were looking for in an attorney. Smart, honest, nice, and "had all the right answers" to our questions. Always available when we had questions. Definitely a problem solver.
We researched attorneys online and came across Halli Heston's Bio and knew she was the one we wanted to help us.. She is a terrific attorney and we were satisfied from the first day we met with her at her office. She is knowledgeable, prompt and professional. Halli and her staff have been able to answer our questions in a timely manner. The whole process for filling bankruptcy was stressful but she and her staff made us feel a lot better when we had a deadline to meet. All we can say is "Thank You" very much for your time and your service.
I was referred to Halli Heston, from the O.C. Bar Association. They told me that Halli was a terrific attorney, and that I would be satisfied. Not only was I satisfied, Halli was exceptionally professional, and fully represented me in court. I appreciate everything that she has done for me, and her staff is friendly, and very professional too. They kept me up to date on the proceedings, and also reminded me when I needed to complete the required courses. Thank you very much for your time, and service.
