I found Ms. Pedersen through a colleague while going through a divorce. I had interviewed with several lawyers prior to meeting her. From my initial meeting, I was convinced that she was not only cost effective but thorough, meticulous and sincere in our interactions. Almost immediately, I was overcome with a great sense of hope. Without disclosing specifics, I can say that I was much more than pleased at the outcome of the divorce.

Two years later when I decided to contest the custody of my children, I reached out to Ms. Pedersen. Again, conversations and emails with her were timely, clear and concise. Throughout the process, all of my files were organized and enabled her to present a second winning case.

There is no shortage of lawyers in our area. However, if you want to find someone who feels like a friend and fights like a stockbroker on Wall Street, I would highly suggest meeting with Ms. Pedersen. I am certainly glad I did!

In my unusual case, Heather helped me to understand the details, what we (she) could do about it, and what to expect. She was realistic and gave me her undivided attention. That made me feel important to her. It made me feel like she cares! In the courtroom, I saw another side to her. She definitely doesn't mess around! WOW! I highly recommend Heather Pedersen Law!

Ms. Pedersen was excellent in dealing with my case. Despite it turning out that she would not be able to offer legal assistance in my case Ms. Pedersen helped me secure appropriate legal representation and graciously offered advice on how to help my case further. As busy as the office appeared she made me feel important. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with a case involving family law.

Heather and her staff are wonderful! Polite, helpful and warming. I spoke with Heather in my case and she was very informative, compassionate and realistic. She explained the pros and cons of both sides and even spoke of potential outcomes for future events.

No fault divorce attorney for sure. Never wanted to go in front of a judge for me. Big waste of money and set me back years in my case.

I appreciate how quickly the matter was resolved. Would recommend.

Heather is and has been outstanding! She has helped me with my custody case for over 8 years. I was awarded full custody this summer and Heather was professional, consistent, and relentless in the court room! I highly recommend her for any legal matters!

From the first time I met Heather I knew she had my back. Her strength is inspiring and she has given me both the support and courage needed during a difficult time in my life. Her instincts are unmatched and she has fought for me every step of the way. I am so grateful for her.

Outstanding law practice. Shannon Forrest very professional and competent to assist and advise. LeeAnn very professional demeanor and helpful scheduling to help the clients. Highly recommend on domestic law!!!

Heather is by far the best Attorney around! she has handled 2 cases for me thus far one of which being a very nasty child custody and support case which she went above and beyond for me. She was very prepared with all my information and got the results i was looking for. We had to appear in court many times and each time she was ready! She is also handling a child adoption case for me now and is absolutely amazing. Heather and her team are keeping me informed every step of the way by email and phone and answering all questions i have. I highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone looking for Legal Advice in my opinion she is Hands down the best Lawyer around!! I would not want to go to court with anyone else by myside. Thank You Heather & Team for everything you have done for myself & Family

Ms. Pedersen did an amazing job with my divorce and custody case. She paid attention to detail, listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I went in to her office with a list of questions and my main concerns had she ever went up against someone who displayed Cluster B personality and dealt with divorcing someone from the military? She had! She even explained her experience with both. She knew her stuff. She was a beast in the court room. We walked out triumphant.

Ms. Pedersen provides excellent legal services. She is responsive and accessible, she moves quickly and stays abreast of cases. Her input and guidance are expert and insightful, and she indeed provides not only excellent services but wonderful support to her clients.

Ms.Pedersen was referred to us by a friend. She did an outstanding job with my fiance's divorce. She assured us throughout the divorce process that we would get everything we had asked and we had no doubt she would. I would highly recommend Ms.Pedersen to anyone going through a tough divorce especially if you're member of our armed services. Thank you so much!.

Ms. Pedersen is an excellent attorney who extensive experience in child custody cases. She is everything you want in a lawyer especially in highly emotional family law matters.

All lawyers are not created equal. Heather is the perfect example of why. I have spoken to a few lawyers over the years for routine legal advice, but have never felt like i had their undivided attention. Starting with the initial consult i knew that i had a person that genuinely cares. It only gets better once you are her client. Mrs. Pedersen is sincere, hard working, and in a league of her own. She knows how the legal system works. Not all lawyers do. Heather has a top notch legal team that is well versed in Williamsburg. Her paralegal Christine Tobin is highly intellectual which just reassured me that this is the winning team for all of my families legal concerns. The amount of time for personal devotion to your case, or legal needs is unparalled in Williamsburg. For all aspects of family law do not gamble with your future whether its a Divorce, DUI, or wills choose Pedersen Law to ensure in those hard days you are walking into court with the best of the best in Williamsburg. I know i did.

Heather Pedersen and her staff are always extremely professional and responsive, even to the numerous developments in my case (and my tendency to overreact). Mrs. Pedersen handled my Custody/Visitation Pre-Hearing Settlement Conference with steadfast resolve, which resulted in almost everything that I sought. She always provides not just the answer that I am expecting, or hoping, but also what she believes is the probable outcome, whether I want to hear it or not (and she has been right every time). I highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation on family matters in Williamsburg/James City.

Rude, will not answer or return phone calls, bad email address and bad divorce advice. Not associated with the BBB. My ex was misled and bull dogged several times through our divorce just so they could run up the bill. If you really want to be intimidated and waste money then go ahead.
