Too busy to pay close attention to most of her files. Seems to focus on a few high priority clients at the expense of the rest, so does not deliver. Her associates do most of her work, yet she charges top dollar. Go with a low-key and less expensive lawyer who will deliver for you.

To be fair, Heather is smart & experienced and willing to tell you things you may not want to hear, which is a plus. However, she was late and unprepeared for my mediation and did not get me any results. She is the master of the bait and switch: you hire her but you are hiring her clerk or associate who missed important details and made errors in their calculations, which cost me in my settlement. She promised communication but literally NEVER returned my calls or emails. She is mainly bluster--talk without action.

Wouldn’t want her on the other side. Top lawyer that’s respected in the bar — told me to shop around. Met with two other lawyers, glad I went with her. Great resolution to a challenging life problem. Hope I don’t need Heather again — but, will recommend to anyone who asks.

This is the first review for anything that I've ever written. I never understood the folks who took that time. But now I do. Every part of me wants to warn any person I can about working with Heather Hansen. Smoke and mirrors. Talks your talk, doesn't keep meetings, isn't prepared for your case when yo do meet, cancels and pushes you off. You end up getting delayed, it costs you thousands. If there is one lawyer you will guaranteed have an awful experience with it's her. I think her workload is too full and she isn't giving everyone's case due attention. She is a victim of her own word of mouth. Three friends have personally thanked me for warning them against her after they heard similar feedback. It would be worth the wait if the work itself was good. But you're basically waiting for sub-par, mediocre work at best.

After sharing with her the particulars of my divorce strategy, she then went and called my ex and took my ex on as a client. Heather is a snake.

Heather is outstanding. Her terrific work is improved due to great relationships with Martha and other legal stars in Toronto. She cars intensely about her clients' situations. AAA+

i don't know this lawyer but she sure likes to post a sexy picture of herself. most family lawyers are scum. if i ever go up against her then i will bring her to the cleaners and waste her clients money by motion after motion, and not charge my client. how? because i don't do it for the money. i will win.

Helped me sort out a mess with a terrible partner and his idiot lawyer. Professional and great value. Heather is still a young lawyer but seemed to deal with the other side as she had been doig it for decades. Will send my friends to her any day.

Represented me in divorce proceedings and subsequent custody/access proceedings. Incredibly efficient and competent given her year of call. She took a no-nonsense approach and was not afraid to put the lawyer on the other side in his place (and at times me, when it was needed). Incredible value for money given that my ex-wife hired a pricey downtown-Toronto hired gun and Heather took him on with humour and success every step of the way. At the end of an otherwise bad situation I feel like I got what I was entitled to and made the best out of a bad situation. I would recommend her to anyone who simply wants to move on and do so in a highly efficient manner without getting taken to the cleaners! She made the process as easy as it could have been.
