About Heather Early, Associate Attorney

Independence divorce attorney Heather Early was drawn to family law because of personal experiences. While the family unit may change, the individual members often still need to interact. How a divorce or custody battle plays out has a huge effect on how that new family unit functions.

“It is always my hope, especially when children are involved, that at the end everyone is comfortable with their new reality,” Ms. Early said.

She always tries to treat clients how she hopes someone would treat her loved ones and believes every client deserves to be treated with kindness and dignity.

“Even though I know that clients are generally experiencing one of the most painful and difficult periods of their lives, cooler heads always prevail,” she said. “Usually, when we set aside the emotions, the process becomes easier to navigate.”

Education

Ms. Early earned her Bachelor of Liberal Studies from Bowling Green State University, her Post-Degree Professional Certificate in Paralegal Studies, and her Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University.

Professional Experience

Prior to joining Cordell & Cordell, Ms. Early was a legal assistant and her experience has primarily been in family law and employment law.

Reviews from Our Past Clients
“Wow, there’s so much I have to say about Cordell & Cordell. I walked in with tears in my eyes hopeless because everything was taken a way from me. Father of 7 children that was told there’s no hope for the fathers now days. Cordell & Cordell welcomed me in their hands and proved everyone wrong. They were there for me and my children until the end.”
– Izet K.
“It took years for me to come to a decision to end my marriage. I sought a law firm that is focused and prepared for trial if need be, and seeks to give me the best outcome possible. Cordell and Cordell has performed very well and is very supportive during this difficult time. I have full confidence in my representation and recommend them.”
– Mason B.
“Cordell & Cordell has been really helpful in all my divorce and custody-related needs, even when I have been struggling to make ends meet, they remained communicative regarding my account. I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”
– Amanda H
“Divorce is hard enough without trying to find a Lawyer who will truly work for you. I had several conversations with Lawyers that seemed only interested in winning somehow. No one wins in a divorce. I should have went to Cordell & Cordell first so I would have avoided a lot of headaches. I met a group of people that genuinely care for you.”
– Mark L.
