I would like to express my deep gratitude to Heidi for responding quickly to my concerns, giving me a specific, well thought out game plan, and for providing me with invaluable resources as I deal with my mother's decline into dementia. Highly recommend.

I was in a very difficult situation when I received Heidi’s number. I was in a desperate situation in a divorce/custody. And I’m sure I looked desperate and frazzled, but she assured me she would help me. I will never forget the days we spent in her office situating the legalities of my situation and she walked me through how court would be and how I was going to behave. (Which I needed I had never done this before) I behaved like I was supposed to and in all of the court hearings that we had to go through she made me feel like I wasn’t desperate anymore I just needed the right people on my team. I enjoyed working with Heidi, she is my friend and I am proud to call her my lawyer. And just an FYI because if I was looking for a lawyer in divorce/custody I would want to know the outcome…..I won. I am 110% satisfied with the outcome. Thank you HEIDI!

ASK HEIDI: Do I need to select a Power of Attorney for financial matters and another for health care, or can the same person do both?

Short Answer: While it’s two different documents/roles it can be the same person wearing both hats.

The document for handling financial matters is called a Durable Power of Attorney and the Health Care Surrogate Designation is for healthcare decisions when you are unable but there’s an expectation of survival.

I usually approach it from the perspective that they are very different roles and often different loved ones might be better suited for one rather than the other. I tell my client’s that they shouldn’t feel it HAS to be the same person but it absolutely can be.
