Our initial assessment was that Heidi Davis was a go-getter, extremely knowledgeable in her area of expertise, but most of all, it seemed she actually cared. Heidi talked about obtaining records for us from DCS, and we repeatedly asked if this was completed, what the results were etc. Several of our emails went from being answered in a much delayed fashion because "her assistant was in a car accident", then to just plain ignoring us. Heidi did show up to court as promised, as she was well compensated per our contract to do. The 2nd court appearance, we were unable to attend and informed Heidi. We were told, "No problem, I will call you after court, let you know what the outcome was, and email you." Several days and weeks later, we never even received an account of what happened. So we paid her to go to court in October, but have zero report of what the outcome was, and it is now March. We were told we needed to make a follow up appointment, and after leaving several emails and voice messages, I got ONE call back weeks later. Her assistant tried to say ahe had been unable to get a hold of us. My husband hounded the office repeatedly for an answer to a simple question. Heidi tried calling us from out of town the weekend of March 3, but then cryptically, on March 5, we were told the office had "closed our account AS WE REQUESTED, and she was refunding apprx $6k of the $10k retainer. Huh? If you need a knowledgeable attorney, Heidi is the probably the best there is. However, her office staff and her ability to communicate effectively and in a reasonable time... the record speaks for itself. Just wishing we had answers to the questions we asked from October 2017 through March 2018 when our account was inactivated. Child custody is a very traumatic and emotional time, and clients should be able to rely on the paid professionals. If you do hire Heidi, our recommendation is to add response times from her staff to your contract before forking over thousands.
We have been struggling to get an Attorney to return my husbands calls for the past 3 days about filing for guardianship for our special needs child prior to her 18th birthday. Ms. Davis returned my call within 10 minutes of leaving a message at her office. Her insight and advice is invaluable and we appreciate her taking the time to actually call me back immediately and making us feel important. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help for their child.

In my 6 1/2 years at the Arizona Office of the Attorney General as an Assistant Attorney General (AAG) I was actively engaged in the dependency process and representing the hard working and compassionate case managers of Child Protective Services. As an AAG I was always acutely aware of the challenges that families in crisis faced as well as the case managers regarding the ability and difficulties of navigating a complex area of law and balancing a high caseload while managing their social work responsibilities. Although the subject matter of the 600+ cases that I handled over my career was difficult due to the nature of the cases, I was always cognizant that the overall goal was to keep the children of Arizona safe and make all reasonable efforts to make the families stronger to be able to reunite parents with their children. I believe that my preparation and knowledge of the facts of each case lead me to be an effective litigator in hearings and in trial.
I am a highly organized, detail-oriented and self-directed attorney who is always active in seeking professional growth. As opportunities arise for me to gain a greater understanding of my legal field and to have more in-depth knowledge of the legal trial procedures and process, I am consistently attending various trainings and educational opportunities. I believe that my communication, interpersonal and presentation style has lead me to be an effective and compassionate advocate and has consistently resulted in very favorable outcomes for my clients. I am highly capable and very skilled in areas such as developing professional relationships with my clients and opposing counsel, motion practice, courtroom skills, bench trials, negotiation, mediation, and litigation.
I believe that it is an obligation to my clients and society to always maintain decorum, ethics, and respect for all parties and the legal process and rule of law that we must follow on a daily basis, no matter what the situation the facts present to the situation that is being litigated.
I am a compassionate attorney who has also personally had experiences with a divorce and domestic relations matters. On my free time I enjoy cooking, gardening, Zumba, and hiking. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I hope that you give me a call for a consultation so that we can sit down and learn about each other in a professional setting.
