About Heather
Heather Trick built a practice out of courtroom years and constancy under pressure. She began her legal career in 2010 at the Ninth Circuit Public Defender’s Office, where she handled criminal matters for people who could not afford private counsel. That early work shaped how she approaches cases: careful preparation, clear advocacy, and steady courtroom presence.
At the public defender’s office she managed a heavy caseload. She argued motions, handled bench and jury trials, and met clients at every stage of a case. Those assignments demanded quick judgment and a readiness to adapt. They also provided repeated opportunities to test legal strategy in live proceedings. Colleagues from that period described her as someone who could think on her feet and hold composure when stakes were high.
After years in public defense, Trick moved into private practice. She is now a partner at Jordan Law FL. At the firm she shifted from public service to representing a broader mix of clients. She brings the skills learned defending indigent clients into the private sector. That background informs how she evaluates risk, plans trial timelines, and prepares witnesses.
Her day-to-day work ranges from courtroom advocacy to client counseling. She has experience drafting pleadings, negotiating case resolutions, and presenting evidence at trial. She draws on trial experience when advising clients about potential outcomes and the tactical choices they face. The rhythm of trial practice—discovery, motion practice, witness preparation, and trial—remains central to how she trains junior attorneys and organizes a case timeline.
Trick’s colleagues point to her pragmatic approach. She tends to break complex issues into manageable parts. She favors direct explanations for clients and concrete action plans over legalese. That style sits well with clients who are confronting urgent or high-pressure legal problems and want clear guidance.
Outside the courtroom she stays current on developments that affect litigation practice. She keeps cases moving through careful calendar management and regular client contact. Her courtroom background continues to shape her judgment about when a case should settle and when it should proceed to trial.
As of 2026 Heather Trick practices at Jordan Law FL, where she applies years of trial experience to client representation and litigation matters.
