Sadly, I've become an expert on lawyers in my time here in Geneva. Lawyer for property, lawyers…read morefor work, lawyers for everything. Sigh. When I first started writing this review, I realized that it was more of a complaint of other lawyers rather than why I've been so pleased with Heaton and Venuti. That being said, this review will exclusively be about why I'm five-starring them and not about my distaste for other lawyers (well, almost exclusively). Every cloud has a silver lining. For me, that lining was Ms. Eliza Heaton, the newest legal prodigy at Heaton and Venuti. Why have I been so pleased? Would you like it alphabetically, numerically, or in order of importance? I'll do all three. 1a. Quality work. She is very diligent in her work, always prepared, and thorough. It shows in the excellent outcomes and results I've had. No sad sacks here. There is a real pride in work here. 2b. Exceptional communication skills. There is no arrogance and superb follow up on cases. Nothing worse than chasing your lawyer to get an answer and follow up or having your lawyer speak to you in some garbled legal jumble meant to confuse. That has never happened with Ms. Heaton. 3c. Honesty. Now here's a commodity and should arguably be ranked 1a. Her honesty can be demonstrated in three examples. First, one time I asked her a complicated question and she told me, "I'm not sure, I'll find out." She took a day, figured it out and got back to me. Refreshing. Second, she has been very honest regarding the merits of a case and doesn't just encourage a case for her own personal benefit. Third, life always come down to the bill and her billing is clear and fair and honest; not some nebulous arbitrary bill or a psychotic bill listing each phone call or photocopy you were charged for. 4d. Compassion. I know I was going to speak about my positive experiences at H and V, but so many lawyers are so jaded or apathetic that work is just a job or a paycheck as demonstrated by their demeanor and attitude. Every interaction I have with Ms. Heaton has been enthusiastic and really caring about the case at hand. When I work with her, I feel that this case is personally important to her. That's meaningful to me. 5e. Pride. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work. There is a purity to it where the whole is greater than the parts. Once you start working with Ms. Heaton you will see that she takes great pride in her work which in the end is your work because she is representing you. I would strongly recommend Ms. Heaton to anyone looking for a lawyer; she stands for superior to any other lawyer I've used. I think that Ms. Heaton specializes in family law, marital law, and estate planning but will accept any variety of legal challenges on a case by case basis.

I won't get into the details of my civil case or the specifics of the fees, but I will say this office handled a case for me that I could not be more grateful for. No, they didn't win me a large settlement or anything like that. What they did was give me peace of mind at a time when I needed it most, and handled my case brilliantly with a very reasonable flat fee.
