Celebrating Our Most Recent Law School Grad HELIANE’S HARDWORK PAYS OFF
At The Button Law Firm, we are a hard-working, passionate bunch, and when one of our team members has the chance to pursue their dreams, we are here to cheer them on. That was the case this spring with Heliane, our law clerk at The Button Law Firm, who fulfilled her goal of graduating from law school. Heliane has dreamed of being an attorney since she was a child. At 13, she was the youngest person to join her school’s debate team — an experience that fueled her ambition to study law. When speaking about her passion for law, Heliane notes, “I’ve always seen the power in words. When you say something, it could trigger millions of other results. We just have to be on the right side and speak for the underrepresented.” After college, she jumped at opportunities to learn about the legal world, including an internship with the North Texas Tollway Association. Each experience confirmed that law school was the right step to advance her education. “I never stop learning,” Heliane says of her incredible drive. In law school, a unique opportunity in her trial advocacy class took her to Scotland, where she experienced her first jury trial at St. Andrews. There, Heliane put her skills to the test alongside other law students. The experience gave her the confidence boost she needed. In her words, “I just needed to enhance what I have. It’s about honing the skills we already have.”
Heliane had considered becoming a corporate lawyer until she was introduced to personal injury law. When she met attorney Russell Button and saw the way he helped people in the community, she knew she’d found the type of firm she wanted to work for. Russell recognized her determination and skill right away, and Heliane is “grateful and humbled by that.”
Outside of studying for the bar, Heliane is a devoted mom to her puppy, Muffin, a welcome member of The Button Law Firm team. “I usually spend most of my time when I’m not studying or working hanging out with Muffin — she’s in training too,” says Heliane. We’re grateful to have such an educated and knowledgeable team member at The Button Law Firm. Congratulations to Heliane on her huge achievement!
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
... Continued from Page 4 My daughter is an animal enthusiast with a
tremendous patience for small animals. She has a cat, a leopard gecko, and a mouse. My son loves anything related to automobiles and airplanes. He also plays the drums and attends the School of Rock. BIND is an extension of our family. What do you have envisioned for BIND in the next five years? In five years, we will be settled into our new permanent facility and we will also have one additional location opened in a different area. Hopefully we will have two facilities in Texas. I’d love to grow our network of support and serve more brain injury survivors. Each day in Texas, 400 people are hospitalized for a newly acquired brain injury. At BIND, we are scaling to full capacity at the Plano location, but the need is everywhere. Right now, we are open five days a week with 47 Members and three full-time employees. Only three years ago we were completely volunteer-run and served 8 members one day a week. To learn more about BIND and get involved, visit thebind.org.
“Russell Button and his team are awesome. From the moment I met Russell, he made sure that I was okay and put me first as a client. He and his team are awesome at responding to you in a very timely manner. His knowledge of the law made everything so easy from start to finish. Russell himself called me at every step in my case, explaining every single thing I needed to understand while being so patient with me. Russell knew every step to take to get my case resolved in a timely manner. He even gave me advice on some other legal issues and directed me to whom I needed. Most people don’t help you if it’s not putting money in their pockets. Russell Button is a great attorney and a great person. You will not be disappointed in having Russell and his team assist you in your time of need. Thanks so much to Russell and his team.” –Shawn HEAR WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
