Collaborative work

James worked with my team on a Short Sale. He was very attentive to negotiation deadlines. With regard to email communication, he was quick with response time, even at odd hours of the day or night. He was proactive with distribution of information as he received it. This was one of many Short Sale...s I have done and James was a top notch professional in all aspects of the transaction. I would be extremely happy to work with him again.

Honest Attorney

Todd walked us through our commercial real estate purchase and settlement. It was as smooth as silk. He remains an active part of our business and a trusted confidant.

It is very rewarding helping an existing business buy a property and establish roots in the neighborhood. Good for the client and the community!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Mr. Heise for 15 years since working with him on Law Review. We have since worked together on a few civil matters. I have had ample opportunity to assess Mr. Heise’s intellectual abilities, his work ethic and his interpersonal skills. He is a highly motivated, self sufficient, intelligent, perceptive attorney who somehow maintains a positive disposition no matter how trying the situation. Mr. Heise also takes a personal interest in his clients’ lives and somehow always makes himself accessible to them."

"I endorse this lawyer. There are few lawyers that have the knowledge and expertise that Mr. Heise possesses. Whether it is short sales, real estate closings or complex legal issues surrounding property issues, you can not do any better than you would by hiring Mr. Heise."
