Law Offices of Heather Pietroforte

I am the daughter of a 95 year old woman who did not feel secure about having a living trust. She felt uncertain about the entire process feeling she would lose control of her finances. Heather and her staff took the time to explain in detail how it all worked in order to put my mother’s fears at ease. They were patient with her and made sure she understood she would not lose control of her finances. It was a lifted burden for her to know they understood what her final wishes were. In my mother’s last days she felt at peace knowing that all she desired had been put into place. I was very grateful for the gentle manner in which they cared for my mother. I highly recommend the Law offices of Heather Pietroforte. Time spent in their office was one of the last gifts I was able to give my preci

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY- I wish I could give her zero stars. I was referred to this attorney by a legal service. I called and sent an email. She responded very quickly. I told her of my horrible situation. My mother had passed away very unexpectedly. And we had an issue with the city utilities. I needed a letter to the city so I could make decisions and I needed executor (uncontested) and probate services. She said she could take care of everything. I hired her. She got the letter to me within a couple of days along with the documents for my family members to sign. I returned them. I paid her for filing fees a short time later and asked her to move forward. After 2-3 weeks I hadn't heard anything about a court date so I called her and emailed her several times. I spoke with her

We completed our estate planning, including an update to a previously established revocable trust, with Heather Pietroforte. The process was clearly outlined in our initial meeting, along with all costs and a short "to-do" list of items I needed to find and provide. She was always pleasant and available for calls or emails. There was a follow up meeting that I had to change at the last minute, and Heather and her office were both very accommodating. I recommend Heather Pietroforte without reservation for anyone looking into estate planning.

UPDATE: Within hours of our family posting our horrible experiences with her, she has had multiple friends and family members, (including her husband) posting bunk 5 star reviews. Amazing. Well at least she is only advertising “Estate Planning,” in this ad. Wouldn’t trust her with an estate, however, after the way we were treated on our family law cases. My wife and I went to Ms. Pietroforte’s office after being referred by a friend. (So imagine our shock when things took a turn.) She happily met with us to land a few new clients, and just as happily took thousands of our dollars when we trusted her. We needed a modification of order after an ex husband took a truck and stopped paying for it. We also needed a custody issue brought to court after a parental alienation issue.

TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ELDERLY & WIDOWED! Absolute NIGHTMARE! I have numerous experience with other attorneys and never in my life have I had a negative experience and one like this! We did estate planning with Heather. She holds seminars at Visalia convention center like a sales snake recruiting elderly. My Mom just lost her husband and needed to put affairs in order. Heather had states at the convention that she switched from family law to estate planning lawyer to be able to have more time with family since she has very young children (which go to this convention) I now believe because she is incompetent on any law subject and is overwhelmed with her personal life. She offered my mom for additional 2000 (on top of thee 3500 charge to write the trust up) to transfer assets to trust. SHE
