  1. Makes up evidence, doesn't correct it after being advised of it, and impossible to contact.

    • I do not recommend David Heyboer.
    • I hired David 1-6 months ago.
    • David handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    Never returned calls after repeated attempts. Missed appointments, misfiled motions, didn't consult me on the content of motions before filing, and worst of all: MADE UP EVIDENCE that he submitted in a motion to the court. I never told him anything relating to a key paragraph in a motion he filed on my behalf. Even after calling and advising him that I had NFI where he got the information from since I didn't tell it to him, and his promise to correct it, he NEVER refiled the motion to remove that false paragraph. Ridiculously terrible attorney, with highly questionable ethics.

  2. Doesn't need a phone

    • I do not recommend David Heyboer.
    • I hired David more than 3 years ago.
    • David handled my Wills / Living Wills matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    "lost" my father's will.... refused to provide a copy of the will to my mother, and forced us into costly probate court. We have spent thousands of dollars, due to this attorney's negligence, and I question his integrity as a human being....

    • I do not recommend David Heyboer.
    • I hired David 1-3 years ago.
    • David handled my Child Custody matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    He went into court unprepared I paid him to represent me and ended up representing myself. He did not return phone calls for 6 months and even after I fired him I still have yet to receive the money out of my retainer he owes me.

    • I recommend David Heyboer.
    • I hired David 1-3 years ago.
    • David handled my Bankruptcy / Chapter 7 matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    We needed a lawyer who was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and able to see us right away. Mr. Heyboer was that lawyer. He made us feel comfortable and instantly took a huge weight off our shoulders just by talking to him.
