I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Heller spent much time on pre-trial preparation. This attorney had a consistent and clear defense. Mr. Heller thought excellently on his feet, made sure that legal issues were preserved, in order to provide complete protection to his client, and developed a great relationship with the judge and the jury. This attorney maximizes his chances of winning the best result for his client.

During the last year I have had the pleasure to work closely with Peter Heller on two major criminal matters. His professionalism, knowledge of the case, and, dedication to his client are unsurpassed. His low key, gentlemanly approach endear him to colleagues and adversaries alike. Clients love him. Peter is an effective, hard working, gentlemanly lawyer who gets results. It is an honor to work with him and have him as an ally in the defense of our clients.

Peter is an exceptional attorney. It is rare to see an attorney be so revered by attorneys and judges alike. I am privileged to work for and learn from an attorney like Peter. Through years of hard work and dedication to the law he has risen to a level high above all others in the field. Are there some other attorneys that are as great...possibly, but none better.
