About Merak Law
Why Merak?
Heather’s focus is on helping people create solutions that work for them in a cost-efficient way, while preserving their assets and their important relationships. She named the firm after the star, Merak. It is one of the two stars in the Big Dipper that points the way to the North Star, which has long served as a landmark for travellers without a compass. She believes in getting to know clients and that with some guidance, they can come up with their own best resolutions and find their way 'home'.
