FIRST CLASS CRIMINAL DEFENSE TRIAL ATTORNEY WHO GETS RESULTS, CALL US NOW FOR A FREE CONSULTATION AT 717-775-6995 TODAY!

There are many lawyers that are available to serve your needs. I have found that my success is based on my availability to my clients. When you are charged with a crime, it is overwhelming and frightening, you need someone that can answer your questions and explain what the process is and what you can expect along the way.

I want to know your questions and concerns. It is not uncommon for me to speak with, e-mail or text a client on the weekends or in the evening. I know that questions about your case or new matters arise after 5 p.m. and that is why I am here. Without having an open line of communication, I can’t be effective for you.

Communication leads to trust and trust leads to a relationship. A trusting relationship with your attorney is the only method, in my experience, to get results.

A True Fighter for You!
After being charged with a DUI under a controlled substance, I was in shock and at a loss because I knew I was not driving impaired, even though I was taking prescribed medications for a physical condition; but who was going to believe me? During my consultation with Heather she listened closely, asked many questions, took the time to explain the law, process, and possible outcomes, all while being compassionate about my fears of this “nightmare.” Having already met with a couple other attorney's, and already having an attorney I was not happy with, I hired Heather on the spot. The best decision I made related to this whole situation. She thoroughly reviewed the police & lab reports (from arresting blood test), as well as the dash cam video. Heather poured over my medical records and worked with a toxicologist in preparing my case for trial. Her focus was on me and my case; keeping me informed throughout the process, explaining what to expect next, and answering any questions I had. Through Heather’s hard work, I did not need to go to trial and the DUI charge was dropped; I received a fine for careless driving and 3 points (what it should have been from the beginning). If you want an attorney representing you who is committed to you, who believes in you, is compassionate, and yet honest and upfront, Attorney Heather Reiner is who you want leading your case. I know she is my hero!

She is knowledgeable, dedicated, approachable and communicative. Even with the added difficulty of the covid-19 pandemic, she put forth her best efforts and achieved the results we hoped for.

Highly recommended
When our son was arrested for four felony counts related to drugs (PWID), we didn’t know where to turn or what to do to help him. After talking with several attorneys we selected Heather based on her relevant knowledge, immediate advice and overall sincerity. We quickly had a clear plan and knew we were on the right track with her. She provided sound guidance that was important not only for his case but his rehab and mh care. Over 10 long months Heather relentlessly pursued numerous angles trying to reduce the number of charges and sentencing. She continuously ensured the ADA was kept up to date on my son’s progress during rehab. Given the tough stance that the DA’s office was taking on drug related crimes, we were extremely worried about what was in store for our son. Ultimately, Heather was able to get two of the felony charges dropped and he was given probation for his crimes, no jail or house arrest, so he could continue with his rehabilitation. I highly recommend Attorney Heather Reiner.

Would Recommend Highly
I recently got charged with a small amount and Paraphernalia. Miss. Reiner continuously communicated with me throughout the whole process. Got my case pushed back this gave me time to take care of her retainer and my bills. She was also able to get me a class mandated by the officer to get a charge dropped and the other charge lowered. I highly recommend she is worth the money and time.

I would highly recommend her in the future.

Amazing
I have had Heather assigned to me pro bono and even with that she has always made sure I knew what was going on. Did an amazing job making sure i had no jail time as most of the case was pure B. S. I would recommend Heather to anyone. Heck she has even answered questions for me when she wasnt my attorney. All in all she is an amazing person.

10/10
I reccomend Heather Reiner to anybody seeking a good defense attorney. I've been in trouble many times throughout my life due to my addiction and my poor choices and out of all of the public defenders and paid attorneys I've ever had, Heather Reiner was by-far the best. I hired her twice and both time I could not of asked for a better outcome. And she didnt charge me an outrageous price either.

Review
I hired Heather to represent me and I’m very happy I did. From the very first phone call she clearly answered all my questions. Throughout the entire process she was easy to contact and get ahold of. She explained the entire process and told me everything I should expect to happen. If ever needed again she would be the first person I would contact.

Amazing attorney
Nobody every plans on needing an attorney. After speaking with friend, fortunately I found Heather Reiner. She’s very thorough and takes the time to explain everything step-by-step in layman terms. She takes a personal interest in your case & makes sure that you stay informed throughout the entire process. Her professional knowledge is impressive & by far surpasses most attorneys I’ve heard of in the area. Heather helped me get through the process with no issues or surprises, and I got the deal I was hoping for. I highly recommend Heather Reiner if you're looking for a person who will go the extra mile for your case.

The Best Attorney I have ever had!
I would definitely refer anyone to Heather not only because she is an amazing lawyer but because she genuinely cares about her clients no matter what. Heather was my court appointed attorney and though my case was drug on for over a year and a half, there was never a time I didn't hear back from her when contacting her and I mean immediate response, but she also got all of charges dismissed altogether. She is absolutely the best

Heather the “Real Deal” Reiner
Heather has represented me several times in criminal and civil matters. I call her for anything I need and she answers or calls me back the same day. I refer family members and coworkers to Heather, who have hired her, and they are always satisfied. I couldn’t be happier with her legal services.

A Lawyer worth 100 STARS/ Capable of Handling ANY CASE
First, I took a couple of minutes to read the reviews previously dedicated to Heather Reiner's knowledge of the law that she practices, her extraordinary diligence and her expertise of representation. However, I'd like to emphasize her poised, focused, penetrating sense of self assuredness that is fueled by her very high energy level. She has an ability to "take command" in a calm, strategic fashion. This was most apparent to me in the court room. My story goes a lot like this...from the day she took on my case she sailed the bundle of my problems like a captain would a boat with me as a passenger. We sailed through court appearances, around deadlines and through requirements to arrive on a dreamed of shore that I NEVER would have been able to find on my own. And that's it...in my opinion, there is no doubt... Heather Reiner is a truly fine counselor; standing out from the crowd; fully capable of handling ANY CASE.

Diligent and Professional
I recently used Heather as a criminal attorney. She was a beacon of hope to me when I first met with her, at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed next to impossible. Not only was she able to help defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. Reiner to represent anyone in the future.

Very helpful
Mrs. Reiner, is wonderful. She is not only pretty, but professional. Over colder months my job tends to slow down. So money is always tight when it's winter. Ms. Heather was more than willing to work with me. She even let me make payments for what I owed her. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants a honest and helpful lawyer.

Juvenile Defense Outstanding Representation
I would recommend Heather for any juvenile CD minor to major. She responds to phone msg, texts , and email very timely. Her knowledge of the juvenile system and professionalism made our summary offense case much smoother and less stressful to deal with. She was very god with our Autistic child and really took her time with him to make sure he understood the process during the initial consultation.
