Heather Lynne Dukes

Competent and Caring: A Rare Find These Days My wife and I met Heather in the Troy family courthouse about 15 years ago. Frustrated with our situation, we spoke with her at random. Ultimately, she agreed to represent my wife at a good hourly rate. Unlike the public defender, who seemed both lost and totally overwhelmed, Heather was competent, thorough, and worked with us regarding our finances enabling us to do some leg work to reduce her fees. Ultimately, with Heather’s help, my stepson came to live with us full time. Heather has also represented me in a few appearances regarding my own children, and over the years she’s maintained a professional, caring demeanor. I’ve also seen another side of her: the firebrand who rallies against injustices in the courtroom. This is a great asset in an attorney, and it’s yet another reason I recommend her very highly. Our children are grown now, so I won’t have the pleasure of having Heather represent us again in family court, but I’m glad that God saw fit to have our paths cross so many years ago.
