If you’ve made the difficult decision to divorce, you may be angry or feel betrayed. You may even feel like seeking revenge. As a child of a complicated divorce, I felt my parents’ pain and carried my own heartbreak and confusion. Ever since that experience, I knew that one day I would dedicate my life to helping families who also face this challenging circumstance. I determined that I would assist them in easing the divorce process and beginning a new life. In order to accomplish my goals, I studied Administration of Justice and Psychology in my bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University to better understand the law and people’s behavior. I then received my Juris Doctorate law degree with an Excellence in Torts Award.

You want an attorney who is not only experienced and knowledgeable but also caring and compassionate for your needs as a person. Family law attorney Heidi Collier works with you to achieve your goals and protect your assets – and lets you transfer the “worry” to her. One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try to represent themselves in divorce or child custody, usually because of concerns over money. This is understandable.

This means mistakes are very costly, and excellent representation is essential. Ms. Collier is affordable in her legal fees and strives to settle each case to your satisfaction with as little court time as possible. Some divorces can even be completed without Attorney Collier or you ever appearing in court. She is a skilled mediator and negotiator who strives to settle each case without the cost of litigation.
