The Firm

A boutique firm, built on purpose

With over a decade of litigation experience at larger firms, Attorney Lauren C. Heatwole created this boutique law firm to bring a personalized focus to the client while delivering compassionate legal justice.

That means direct access to your attorney, honest conversations about cost, and strategy built around experts when they matter: forensic accountants, business evaluators, psychologists, social investigators, CPAs, and financial planners.

“I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Florida…”

Every Florida attorney takes that oath. We publish ours, because it is how we practice.

Our Standard

Professionalism is not a slogan here.

“To opposing parties and their counsel, I pledge fairness, integrity, and civility, not only in court, but also in all written and oral communications.”
