About Heather
Heather Thacker moved from accountancy into law in a way that shapes how she approaches client problems. She earned a B.B.A. in Accountancy from the University of Notre Dame in 2006 and completed her J.D. at the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law in 2009. Those two degrees sit at the center of her professional identity. They inform the kinds of questions she asks and the details she checks.
After law school, Thacker established a practice that crosses state lines. She is licensed to practice in both Ohio and Kentucky. Early in her career she developed experience handling matters where financial detail matters as much as legal doctrine. That practical blend—numbers and rules—has been a through line.
Her accountancy background gives her a different entry point into legal problems. She routinely reads financial statements, audits, and ledgers in search of the issue beneath the dispute. She has worked on transactional matters, advised on corporate governance issues, and assisted clients when financial records become central to litigation or negotiation. Colleagues say she tends to test assumptions against the books before moving forward.
Day to day, Thacker is based at DelCotto Law Group. She advises businesses and individuals on legal questions that intersect with accounting and finance. She represents clients across Ohio and Kentucky and appears in both state forums when cases or transactions require local counsel. She also spends time consulting on compliance and internal controls when clients ask for help tightening practices before a dispute arises.
Outside of client work, Thacker keeps up with developments in both securities and business law that affect how accountants and lawyers interact. She reads industry guidance and regulatory updates to understand shifting expectations. That habit helps when a contract clause or reporting requirement creates an unexpected drag on a project.
Her practice draws directly from her dual training in accountancy and law. She brings that combination to her work at DelCotto Law Group, where she handles business and financial matters for clients in Ohio and Kentucky.
