“I chose Heather Sowald to represent me based on her extensive experience with the collaborative divorce process. While her experience proved to be very valuable, I was most impressed by her willingness to patiently explain the process to me and promptly answer every question I had. She was a zealous advocate, but also congenial and professional when interacting with other parties involved, making the divorce process as smooth and efficient as possible.”
