Resolve your family law legal issues in a positive, compassionate environment.
Biography
Heidi is truly empathetic in nature and rather enjoys helping her clients reach resolution with their legal issues. Heidi is proud of her achievements during law school which gave her foundation and tools for success in the legal field. She served as the Philanthropy Chair of Delta Theta Phi executive board and also completed a student clerkship at the Zeke Giorgi Legal Clinic focusing on domestic violence. She was recognized by the Wisconsin Law Foundation with the Belle Case La Follette award in 2016 for her commitment to serving underrepresented populations and marginalized communities, and Heidi was included in the 2015 Wisconsin Pro Bono Honor Society. Ultimately, Heidi graduated and passed the Wisconsin Bar Exam in 2012. Heidi does not shy away from litigation, but works hard for her family law clients to reach cost effective and reasonable settlements.
Heidi is also one of the volunteer Attorneys at the Vera Court Neighborhood Center, which is a free Family Law Clinic in Madison. The monthly clinic, which takes place on the second Thursday of each month, helps over a dozen low-income individuals and families during each session. This year, Vera Court Neighborhood Association received the Community Partner Award for their administration and support of a legal clinic staffed by volunteer Attorneys, such as Heidi.
In her spare time, Heidi enjoys spending time with her kids and outdoor recreation including gardening, hiking, boating, fishing and camping with her family.
