Great attorney who helped me and saved me money.

I recently sold a property and decided to hire an attorney to review the contract and settlement documents. Mr. Heise was very thorough in reviewing the contract and documents. If there was an issue I didn't understand or was unsure of, he explained it to me and put my mind at ease. The most importan...t thing that Mr. Heise did was save me some money at the settlement table. I was being charged fees that were a little too high and some fees were even unnecessary. When Mr. Heise pointed this out to the settlement agent, they agreed to modify the settlement sheet. In the end the decision to seek an attorney to help me in this matter paid off.

My experience

I have used Heise n Heise on several occasions and they have been top notch every time.I have used them for 3 commercial lease reviews.He will give you honest opinions about the least and make you see how some wording could have negative effects on you down the road.We used them on a residential shor...t sale when we could get no where with the bank.They got the job done and took the stress off of us.We also used them for changing the title on a house we owned.If you are in the market for a lawyer or just need help with some kind of documents,look no further.

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."
