Heidi D. Collier, APC

My divorce has been a nightmare and I couldn't have gotten through it successfully without Heidi. My husband was mentally, emotionally, physically and financially abusive. After my first hour long meeting with Heidi, which was a free consultation, she told me, "we are going to get your power back", and she delivered. She has acted as a shield between me and my husband. There have been several temporary agreements leading up to the final agreement, and she has had my back, making sure that I have been covered in each one. My husband's attorney would leave out important details when he prepared preliminary agreements and she caught everything and insured the changes were included and always had my best interest in mind . She negotiated a final agreement that was fair, despite my husband's trumped up claims. She included details that insured my interests were protected. She is not only a fantastic attorney, but also kind and compassionate. She has a fantastic staff. I was a basket case and they were also always kind and compassionate. Her hourly rate is competitive with other attorneys that have her level of experience. She has an assistant and a staff of paralegals that prepare the work at a reduced hourly rate which saved me a ton of money. Of course she finalized all the work. My husband's legal fees were over $10k more than mine because his attorney does everything himself, including taking phonecalls, all at his hourly rate. Divorce is expensive, there is no way of getting around it, but Heidi is worth every penny and doesn't nickle and dime her clients. I feel so fortunate to have found her and her staff, and highly recommend her. I am so grateful for all she has done for me.

When a marriage comes to that point you need a lawyer, it is one of the most difficult moments in life. This family law firm is standing next to you along the way from the first moment until they are able to help and beyond. Dahann and Heidi and the whole team is organized and coordinated and they know what to do if you don't. Dahann just knew in every moment what is the right thing to do and say which made me more then confortable, especially when I thought I loose my daughter. She is not just a lawyer but a very supportive friend who is not leaving you alone but handles the situations very professionally every time I asked her for advise. You dont need the most expensive lawyer in town to get what you want, you need the attorney who is on the same page and you both have that connection. Trust you instinct and hire them! They are the right ones!

Thank you for your support through this very lengthy and stressful process. I feel like I was advocated and cared for and would recommend Heidi’s office to friends and family! Thank you again!

Heidi and her team are an exceptional team! My divorce was a long and dreadful process. I have been trying to get divorce since 2023, got in touch with Heidi’s team end of 2025 and I am happily divorced now, they got it done in months! Very communicative and quick in responding to any needs or questions I had. I really don’t know how I would’ve done it without them. Thank you Heidi, Dahann, Patricia and staff in helping me overcome this challenge/chapter in life.

Heidi was amazing in every single way. The opposing party and opposing law firm were the worst case scenario for a family law attorney in San Diego. Heidi picked up the disaster my previous attorney left and turned the devastating circumstances into the best possible outcome. Heidi is knowledgeable, Heidi is professional,Heidi is successful for a reason (actually many), Heidi is PRUDENT! Throughout this process I knew I was naive but as custody disputes (or any disputes) go through the court process your logic (common sense) start to say “hey this isn’t right” and Heidi was not only able to guide me through the toughest times with patience but the exciting times with prudence. As far as the staff: Dalinah, Heidi’s assistant is amazing, always there, always professional and always has an idea of what needs to happen and when. If there is an urgent issue Heidi trusts Dalinah to make the right decision as to priories, scheduling and client care. Every Law Office should strive for a “Dalinah” to be their first point of client contact. Thank you Dalinah. Sandy, Heidi’s paralegal was professional and timely. I know Sandy works all types of hours to make this work, thank you Sandy. Ted, the do it all tech genius/operations specialist could and has really done everything in life. Ted was able to give our case a technological advantage over a much bigger firm (though for obvious reasons Heidi’s practice is growing). Not only did Ted assist in our legal predicaments, he softened the blow of this crazy, unnecessary battle. He understood and was sympathetic toward my situation as I was going through the HARDEST moments of my life. I looked forward to seeing him at the office, and would genuinely pay to learn life skills from him. Thank you Ted. Pamela, what would have I done without Pamela? Pamela was creative on the way she dealt with my seemingly impossible situation. Her intellect, (and when necessary) intense demeanor and knowledge were imperative to success in our case. I needed Pamela and I know why Heidi values her so much, thank you Pamela. As a male in the family court system I felt I was at a disadvantage until I hired Heidi, she made me feel equal, she fought for me and SHE WON! I could not recommend a person, a business or a law firm more. I have a real opportunity to be a father because of Heidi Collier and the amazing staff she has. Thank you.
