First, I am a family man; spouse, parent, and grandparent. I understand intimately the difficulty of dealing with such stressful situations. I advocate strongly on behalf of clients, always treating them with respect and dignity. Many lawyers (even Family or Domestic Relations lawyers) do not practice in the areas of law listed below. That is because these cases are often difficult and require familiarity with subject matter and agencies that do not come into play in an ordinary divorce or parent-versus-parent custody case. Although difficult, I have grown to enjoy helping families in this capacity. Most importantly, I handle each case PERSONALLY. Unless we agree to refer your case to a colleague with more specific expertise in your situation, I am the attorney who will be handling your case. With over a forty years of experience in these cases, you can be assured of high quality representation and advice.

Heather O’Connor has been described as one of the nicest people you will ever meet, until you are an opposing party in the courtroom; she then puts on her game face and will ensure that your side is heard and understood by the Judge. To her, litigation is not a game; she is fighting for justice for her clients and their children. She founded the O’Connor Family Law Firm based on the principle that, with the correct guidance, a person can come out of a divorce or family-law related dispute in a better position than coming in, both legally and personally. She provides a holistic-approach with her clients because she understands there is so much more to a divorce or custody dispute than the simple or even complex legal issue. Her clients have described her as a lifesaver. Someone who came into their life at the right moment, took charge, and changed things around. She believes in creating partnerships with her clients because it takes a joint effort to get desired results within a family law case.
