"I referred a client to Kevin for a family law matter. He did an excellent job for my client. He was professional, compassionate, and reliable."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Attorney Heffernan to resolve a complex landlord/tenant dispute where he represented the tenants. He provided strong and knowledgeable representation to his clients. I am confident he will continue to do so in the future for any clients who need his assistance."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Kevin on a care and protection matter. He approached his representation with a carefully considered, balanced approach, sometimes agreeing with me that the situation was more complicated and nuanced than his client could see. He used that approach to educate his client, surely the best way for any client to make a reasoned decision. Kevin showed compassion and understanding for children with special needs, even though his client was having difficulty with such a child. This indicates a lawyer who exemplifies the best of our profession."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Heffernan is a very smart and dedicated attorney. He takes the time to thoroughly investigate the facts and the law to provide the best advice to his clients. Attorney Heffernan has excellent litigation and negotiation skills and is a zealous advocate. I highly recommend him in the areas of child abuse, family law, and landlord-tenant law."
"I represented an opposing party in a Child Welfare case with Attorney Heffernan. I was impressed by his litigation skills, his thorough and thoughtful preparation as well as his zealous representation."
