The Wright Firm, LLC

"*reposted April 2023 as original review from 2/28/18 was removed.” Ms. Heather C Wright has a business law firm but also takes family law cases in which my ex and I unfortunately had to deal with her for 2+ years (until early 2016) as she served as our children’s guardian ad litem. What ensued were outrageous legal bills (where she overbilled and invoiced us for inquiring about her invoices and charged us for her billing errors), long delays (18 months to generate a weak 14 page report that was not strong enough or thorough for court and should have been completed in less than 3 months), time management issues (she was late for every meeting, phone call, and even mediation and once billed me when she returned my email telling me she was on another call and was going to be late for my planned phone call.) My largest complaint is Ms Wright’s inability to deal with sensitive issues of parenting and child custody. I felt as though she took on a couple of volunteer cases and then considered herself an expert on child custody making such horrendous decisions or recommendations as having parents move out of home while kids stay (yes she recommended this), splitting children up, unaware of school schedule and daycare issues, Her lack of knowledge of family issues such as young children’s medical and emotional needs and making decisions based on her like or dislike of a particular parents behavior towards her was unethical and illustrating her lack of experience in family law. I found her to be hot headed, abrupt, favoring bullying tactics (once threatening to contact my parish priest if I showed up at church when my ex did), unprofessional and was unprepared for court. I am duty bound to inform others that I would NEVER recommended Heather C Wright in any family law case particularly dealing with child custody. Find a lawyer or GAL who works solely in family law, check online the number of cases they have tried and what judges they have had cases under and find out if they have children of their own (She does not which may also explain her lack of empathy and disregard for family structure. She did more harm to my children’s physical and emotional health and seemed more concerned with ensuring we never set foot in a court room or face a judge.). Ms. Wright seemed inexperienced, changed rules along the way and certainly didn’t have the children’s best interest in mind. I have written emails and phone calls to substantiate my claims. By the way she continued to bill me after the case had ended and threatened legal action. And I am the custodial parent and the parent Ms. Wright praised in her report so imagine what my ex thinks of her. Run don’t walk away from this attorney. I would never trust her family law advice."

"I was very pleased with Heather Wright’s performance when addressing a specific need I had regarding an HOA matter. During my initial consult with Heather, she was extremely clear as to approach she was going to take to address my needs and also provided a very accurate estimate of billable hours she would need to complete the task. Time was of the essence in regards to my case as there were specific deadlines that had to be met. Heather took care of everything in a timely and effective manner. I would highly recommend Heather and her firm."

"I have known Ms. Wright for many years. We served together in several professional organizations and she provided business legal services for our company. Her dedication to her clients is above and beyond. She continues to learn and grow....and shares her abilities with an excellent sense of humour!. Thank you, Heather for making our world a better place"

"Heather Wright handled both corporate and civil matters for me. Heather is a skilled attorney, passionate about the law, and cares deeply for her clients. She was able to slice through the complexities of the connected matters with surgical precision, both of which concluded in my favor. She has my utmost respect and I highly recommend her."

"I first hired Heather Wright to help me with a landlord/tenant issue, and in the last 10+ years she’s helped me with a variety of business issues. She’s always responsive, she understands not only the specific issue I’m asking about but also the related issues that I haven’t considered, and her advice is practical, accurate, and cost-effective. I’m grateful to have Heather on speed dial when issues arise and appreciate all of her help over the years."
