About

I enjoy my family law practice and am thankful for the opportunity to help moms, dads, and couples through some of life's more challenging times.  Whether you are facing a  divorce, annulment, or  legal separation or need help obtaining or modifying child support, parenting time, or custody, I can help,  I routinely resolve paternity disputes, relocation issues, college contribution, emancipation, support modifications, and a variety of other family law issues. In 2013, I was fortunate to be named a "Top Lawyer" in Fort Wayne in the area of family law. In 2013, I also became registered as a Domestic Relations Mediator to help families mediate their disputes in family law matters and, in particular, help parents resolve family disputes before a matter is filed in court. In 2014, I completed training in a new and evolving type of divorce: collaborative divorce.  Collaborative divorce is a growing trend and allows the participants to become much more directly involved with the decisionmaking and outcome of their divorce.  Husbands and Wifes work with the lawyer to create their own financial plan, parenting time arrangement or custody plans , rather than asking a Judge to make these important family decisions for them.

Heidi handled my divorce and my resent child support changes. Heidi was very professional and helped me with all of my questions. She helped me through my difficult situation and was there for me. She was supportive and did not make me feel like just another client. Heidi is very knowledgeable and I would recommend her to everyone. I will have Heidi take care of any of my future needs.

Heidi was great! I felt like someone was on my side. She gave excellent advice during my divorce and didn't mess around when my ex and his attorney were trying to be difficult. Heidi helped me to get back the items I wanted. I would definately recommend Heidi to anyone!

I initially consulted with Heidi on a child support matter. She handled my case very professionally and was able to negotiate a quick resolution. I have since returned to Heidi multiple times for various issues, including a prenuptial agreement and step-parent adoption. I recommend Heidi to anyone looking for an experienced and knowledgeable attorney.

I would highly urge anyone who is looking for a divorce attorney to look elsewhere. Perhaps she has been good with some, but she definitely does not make you feel that she is on your side when the opposing counsel is a friend or former working colleague. She made my divorce an even bigger nightmare then it already was. During the entire time, she made me feel as though I was up against two attorneys, and had no one on my side. She was very impatient and catty much of the time. I had caught her in more than one lie to me, and she was completely disrespectful in person and an emails. She urged me to do things that were not in my best interest, and then became very agitated with me when I took a different stand. Quite frankly, I think she gets paid more than she is worth. I ended up terminating her and moving to a different law firm who actually did have my best interest at heart.
