Heather Angela Reiner

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!

Heather presented a very professsional yet practical and clear picture of what we were facing. Multiple felonies that could have resulted in 15+ years easily. She listened, was always available for the "quick phone call" questions and provided options based on our concerns and needs. Her sincerity... with her opnions and feedback was unwaivering and she truly represented our interests as her clients. She kept us well informed and updated as things progressed. We ultimately witnessed all charges dismissed. Very easy to recommend Ms. Reiner. Thank you for your committment and services with this situation.

Where to begin, before you hire her she WILL call you weekends, evenings, etc. But once she has your money: don't expect any attention from her. I hired her & at the very beginning she was "going to defend me with everything she had", until she saw how much evidence/work had to be done and then it w...as all over for me, "my goose was cooked". Granted, I wasn't able to keep making bi-weekly payments due to getting fired constantly because of the charges but I paid an initial decent amount upfront & she said at that time she was accepting it knowing she probably won't get the other $1,000 but was okay with that. That was her words. And I did pay some towards the $1,000 I still owed but it made no difference. She has refused to do any pretrial motions, made major decisions effecting my case without even checking with me. I kept begging & pleading with her to do the stuff that needed done but it fell on "deaf ears". Would you believe she hasn't even listened to my full story of what happened from beginning to end yet (and trial starts tomorrow and it's a pretty big involved case) even thou I said to her multiple times I need to tell her please. The list goes on and on but final thing I want to mention is: she has had discovery for two months or so and I just saw there was a whole cd of evidence the police/prosecution didn't give us and she never looked close enough at the police reports to catch it. And when I told her: she had the attitude of "oh well" and did nothing. She definitely doesn't want to take any case to trial, she is what I would consider a "plea bargin attorney" and the problem with that is some times a plea can't be worked out. And watch out when she says she will try to get a better plea offer: she said that to me and instead it became a worse offer!! I would stay as far away as you can from this attorney and you know it must be really bad if I'm writing this while she is still my attorney, no, I fired her, but in our great system it may happen the judge won't let her withdraw so I can get a public defender. So I may get screwed but writing this so others don't get screwed!!!
