Heather Whitman – Accounting Manager | McIlveen Family Law Firm
Heather Whitman is the Accounting Manager at McIlveen Family Law Firm, where she brings a wealth of experience, heart, and resilience to her role. With a background spanning multiple industries and states, Heather has developed exceptional skills in financial operations, client service, and team collaboration—all grounded in a deep commitment to integrity and a lifelong learning approach.
Heather was raised in a family rooted in service and discipline. Her father’s Navy career later led the family into the oil pipeline industry, where Heather spent her formative years. After marrying and starting a family in Oklahoma, she and her young family relocated multiple times across the Southeast, eventually settling in coastal North Carolina—a place she still holds dear.
Heather’s personal journey has been marked by strength, growth, and unwavering faith. As a mother of three, she has experienced the highs and lows of love, marriage, and divorce. Twice divorced, and with a heart still open to lasting partnership, she remains a hopeful romantic who believes in new beginnings and personal reinvention. Through every chapter, her family and her faith have remained her guiding lights.
With a degree in Business Management and a career spanning administrative and accounting roles, Heather has honed sharp critical thinking skills and a passion for helping others. Her work is characterized by precision, transparency, and a client-focused mindset. She is a true problem-solver who thrives on learning, adapting, and finding efficient solutions in a fast-paced legal environment.
Heather knew she had found the right place when she joined McIlveen Family Law Firm. The firm’s core values—Honesty, Respect, Compassion, Enthusiasm, and being a Forever Learner—are more than just words on the wall; they are principles she lives by and sees reflected in the people around her every day.
Outside the office, Heather enjoys spending time with her children, exploring new chapters in life, and staying grounded in gratitude and hope for what’s to come.
