Heather O’Connor is the founder of O’Connor Family Law, a law firm based on the principle that, with the correct guidance, a person can come out of a divorce or family-law-related dispute in a better position than coming in, both legally and personally.

After a difficult divorce, Heather knew that the way divorce was done had to change. With nothing more than a high school diploma, she went to community college and law school to create a new life for herself and her young kids. Now running her own law firm, Heather is living out her dream of giving people a new path forward in life each and every day.
