Both my fiancé AND my fiancé's attorney have tried to reach out to him numerous times to finalize our matter but Mr. Adkins refuses to do his part to close this chapter of our lives. He has held onto funds from the sale of a house despite the fact that there is a court signed order that specifically details how the proceeds should be disbursed. I understand this is a small town and there may not be much in terms of options in attorneys but please consider all routes before settling to work with this guy. This experience has been the worst!

I hired attorney Gyekenyesi to get someone deemed a vexatious litigator. I had difficulty finding…read morean attorney to take on this case because it's such an uncommon thing that most attorneys were intimidated by it. She rose to the occasion. She met me outside of the courthouse so that I never felt alone, or had to be alone with the person I was suing. She thought quick on her feet and shot down all the foolishness the opposition through at her quickly and succinctly. Through every step of the way she took time to explain the process and what the next steps would be along with time lines. She always prepared me for the next step in the process, always reassured me I would be ok. She is a straight shooter and didn't sugar coat anything. She told me it like it was and by far exceeded my expectations. Her motions and filings were all very thorough and she was successful in getting the person deemed a vexatious litigator. She is knowledgeable and also has a passion for the law and justice. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone that is looking for a good competent thorough attorney. She helped me get my life back so I wouldn't waste any more time defending myself against frivolous lawsuits, as well as assisted in saving the county money by not allowing this individual to bring forth any future frivolous lawsuits. Heather is kind, knowledgeable and a force to be reckoned with. I can't say enough good things about her. If you need an attorney look no I recently called attorney Gyekenyesi about another matter and she explained to me that while what happened was wrong the current law was poorly written and what she has seen is that people in similar situations have ended up spending a lot of money and time and walking away frustrated. She suggested that I contact the prosecutor and see why this happened. She could have taken my money but instead she gave me good advice and a solution. This is why I liked her in the first place. She's not in it for the money. She truly believes in the justice system and helping people. Her integrity is impeccable and her abilities at assisting clients is unparalleled. I whole heartedly recommend her for any legal matter. I am confident that she will do a good job and if ever she feels as though she can't help you she will tell you and help you get to someone that can. She's the kind of lawyer you want defending your rights and fighting for you.

We each have a binder with all our documents organized nicely and ready to go. She was also just generally nice to work with. No one wants to think about these "worst case scenarios", and these can be uncomfortable topics to talk about. But it is such an important thing for everyone to do! Heather did a great job of navigating us through the hard topics and I really think we came away with our wishes clearly documented. I would highly recommend Heather as a Probate Attorney!
