This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The Best Attorney ever.

A couple of years i ago i got me self into some trouble (DUI Less Safe) out in Paulding county Ga. I took the case to trail and a jury found me guilty without any evidence of any wrong doing. Ms. Heinen picked up my case, got me temporary probation suspension while she appealed my case. Ms. Heinen ...was extremely passionate and very dedicated to me and my situation. And she presented a great case for me to receive a new trail. And although we where denied. I know without doubt that Ms. Heinen did everything possible to help me out. She always took my calls. She keep me up to date on everything that was going on. Both by phone,fax,email.....etc Ms. Heinen is a rarity in the legal world. Where most attorneys only care about the money. Ms. Heinen actually cared about me. I can not thank her enough for everything that she has done for me. And i would highly recommend her to anyone, any day. Thank you Ms. Heinen for all that you have done. And i wish you great success to come. You are truly wish you nothing but the best.

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.
