They may not have a big commercial or advertisement but seriously the best in the business.

If you're injured and not sure about what to do next I highly recommend the Gary Heslin Firm. They will get you what you deserve and walk you through everything that is involved in the process . They go above and beyond for their clients. Mark Patrick is great, easy to work with and will help you as ...much as he can. I don't usually write reviews but they are seriously some great people.

Fantastic Philadelphia Lawyer

Gary is professional, absolutely knowledgable about the law, and works hard to collect for his clients. Unlike many other attorneys, he took the time to work with my schedule, even meeting me on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my case. I would recommend Gary to anyone looking for a personal injury l...awyer.

Impressive service and highly reliable!

I was very impressed by the professional manner and knowledge presented by Mr. Heslin. He had great recommendations and educated me about the law along the entire way. He will go above and beyond to make sure his clients are fairly compensated in their cases and are satisfied with the results. I wou...ld recommend this lawyer to my friends and family.

GReat lawyer in philadelphia

I have had the occasion to have mr Heslin represent some of my patients,all of them and I mean all of them have been extremely satisfied and would and have recommend him to their family and friends. As a professional I can think no greater compliment than a referral from a past client and he seems to... get a lot of them.

Gary, has been very professional is all legal advice I have asked him about.

Upon seeking advice from Gary about an accident I was involved in, he suggested I change my insurance from limited to full tort. I was very satisfied with the reccomendations I recieved and in the manner to which he consulted me in. Thank you Gary for all your efforts, they are much appreciated.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
