Posted by anonymous | August 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Not Happy

I hired Mr. Heeney for a non violent offense. Through out his representation, it seemed that my attorney was more interested in improving his reputation than obtaining a good result for my case. I plead guilty. At the sentencing hearing, he performed ok, but it was apparent that he was interested in... the newspaper reporter's opinion of him as an attorney---than myself as the defendant. Mr. Heeney was prepared adequately, but was not reasonable with his request to the court about my sentencing. The court even commented about the facts that Mr. Heeney presented at the hearing.

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.
