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, as...ked 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!

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

One of a kind!

I had never had an experience with a lawyer before I met Ms. Reiner.I was falsely accused of physically assaulting someone, and was arrested and later released on bail.I had planned to represent myself in court,but a lot of folks cautioned me against the idea,telling me that it would be a very risky ...move.I was advised to find a lawyer.Based on my financial situation,I thought I could not afford the services of a private lawyer.So I tried to secure the services of a public defender,but was turned down.I thought I needed to have a few thousand dollars to be represented by a private attorney.Someone suggested Ms. Reiner.I gave her a call and she quickly arranged a meeting.When she told me how much she was going to charge me,I could not believe my ears (Very,very reasonable fees).The hearing was to be held in two days.What amazed me was that Ms. Reiner was readily available.We had a meeting and she explained all the possible outcomes of the case,and also gave me plenty of hope.We communicated through phone calls and texts.She was always available,readily answered any questions I had.On the day of the hearing, she was there on time and constantly communicated with the DA concerning the details of the case.She kept me posted on the progress of the case.Eventually,she called me aside and gave me the great news that the case had been dismissed.At first, I thought I was hallucinating.I was so elated,to say the least.I am very grateful to Ms. Reiner for her unrelenting effort that resulted in my case getting dismissed.She is very patient,very knowledgeable in legal matters.Her exuberant and caring personality is something that truly mesmerized me.Her price is also very reasonable.She did not even charge me consultation fee.I hate to imagine what my fate would have become had it not been for Ms. Reiner helping me with my case.I highly recommend her.I can't thank you enough Ms. Reiner.May God bless you and yours.I will never forget how you helped me when I was going through a very harrowing experience.I am forever grateful.

THE BEST LAWYER AROUND!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heather is the best lawyer around! I had charges that I was looking at state prison time and only got 3 years of probation because of all the time and effort she put into my case! She is beyond great, and doesn’t just treat you like a client she cares about you in every aspect, and stays up to date w...ith you on everything via text or phone calls! I’ve learned so much from her and my mistakes and I couldn’t of gotten through this without her!! I recommend heather to everyone and anyone! I promise you that you won’t regret having Heather to fight for your freedom!!!

A true gem

Recently my 18 year old son was caught up in some pretty serious charges and facing significant prison time. Heather was the court appointed attorney assigned to represent him. We originally planned to hire a paid attorney, However after my first conversation with Heather I knew that she was the be...st choice for a favorable outcome. My son has struggled with alcohol and substance abuse for a number of years and I could tell Heather was on out team to get him HELP and not just prison time. He was facing up to 15 years in state pen and Heather has gone to great lengths to get him into boot camp. Working side by side with the district attorney and judge to ensure my barely adult son gets the help and rehabilitation he needs so eventually he can get to live a successful and fulfilling life. I cannot say enough how much her help, support and realistic vision and actions truly mean. If you want an attorney who treats you and your family like their own, Heather Reiner is the attorney for you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
