Florida, State and Federal Courts.

Member of Florida Bar, both State and Federal, Member of the Broward County Bar Association, Member of the South Palm Beach County Bar Association, Member of the Florida Family Law Bar Association, Member of the Broward County Women Lawyers Association, and Member of both the Tamarac and Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce.

I attend continuing legal education seminars on Family Law, Estate Planning and Commercial Litigation.

Many clients who come to my office are clients who had different attorneys for their dissolutions and now need assistance to change or enforce provisions of their agreements. My approach is to first review the Agreement and then go through all of the areas which need improvement for that specific client. We strive to make the necessary corrections the first time so that clients do not need to re-hire attorneys. We also attempt to resolve the issues with the opposing party before filing with the Court to avoid unnecessary expense to the client. However, if the opposing party does not want to participate, this firm has represented clients in over a hundred different hearings, including multi-day trials, and has been successful.

Heather A. Zardus, P.A.'s focus is in the areas of Family Law, Estate Planning and Commercial Litigation. Most often we are able to assist our clients with an issue in one of those fields, and they then return for assistance in one of the other areas.

The firm was established in February of 2008. The firm was originally based in Hollywood, Florida, but in an effort to provide more accessibility to clients, the office is now based out of Coral Springs, with satellite offices in Plantation and Boca Raton.

After graduating St. Thomas University School of Law in 2003, I spent two years working at a small law firm where my focus was in the areas of Family Law, Estate Planning and Commercial Litigation. I was involved in all aspects of the law firm practice including litigation, transactional projects and firm management.

In 2006, I joined Barry G. Roderman & Associates, P.A., a civil trial firm, to expand my litigation experience. At that firm, my background in Federal Law and Complex Commercial Litigation was put to good use. I also continued forward, assisting clients in the areas of Family Law and Estate Planning.
