- MPL is fortunate to have attorney Heather Reynosa on their legal team. I had no idea what to expect when seeking legal guidance for a custody dispute. I was petrified to involve a stranger as our counsel in attempting to split custody with my children. From day one, Heather made us feel as though we were her only priority, scheduling meetings, phone calls, and email updates whenever requested. Using her extensive knowledge, she thoroughly explained what to expect and what needed to be done on my end to achieve our desired outcomes from the proceedings. While being compassionate and empathetic to our fears and needs, Heather very effectively remained undaunted and professional when dealing with others involved with the defendant. My family is now thriving, and we would not have had this opportunity to be together if I did not employ Attorney Reynosa’a services. Without hesitation, I would recommend this top notch attorney to anyone requiring advice or representation.
