A Must Hire

Where do I start? Bill Heyman is one of a kind. He’s who you want on your side. After years in an ugly, very costly (and unsuccessful) land battle, I found Bill. He listened, then executed the best plan of action - thoughtful action! Bill knew the right people to put in place. He cares. He’s... strategic…and it shows! Bill, if you’re reading this, you know you preserved my family’s legacy. We will forever be grateful to you! Thank you!!!!! For everyone else, HIRE BILL! End of story.

Honesty - Confidence - Competence

I was directed to Bill Heyman by a friend and he couldn't have peformed better. I stood to lose quite a bit in a tricky securities case but I recovered most of what I had invested thanks to Bill's professionalism and tenacity. He's not afraid to tell you things striaght, he ensured that as we progres...sed I understood the accumulating fees and the implications of our next move, et cet. In a time when it was important to have someone I trusted by my side, Bill Heyman came through. Strongly recommended.

He Can Handle the Tough Ones--In and Out of the Countrty

Bill is all brains and muscle. He recently helped reveal and bust a $330 billion Wall Street scam. His work is documented in the book RUTHLESS: How Enraged Investors Reclaimed Their Investments and Beat Wall Street. Bill also reclaimed a real estate deed from a corrupt Bahamian syndicate--the only de...ed so far reclaimed from this scandal-ridden outfit. As I said, Bill is all brains and muscle, yet he is nuanced, sympathetic, down-to-earth. If ever I find myself in another tough situation, Bill will be my very first call. Many people, myself included, owe him a great deal of respect and gratitude

Very well versed in Business Litagation

Bill was extremely thorough and professional from the time we first met until the case was resolved. He is extremely well versed in business litigation as well as mediation. One of Bill's biggest strengths is his ability to communicate. He clearly illustrated the nuances of our case to us. This made... us feel extremely comfortable moving forward with his services. We highly recommend The Law Office Of William S. Heyman

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.
