Joseph Aloysius Heintz Jr.

Epic bad experience/waste of money, time and energy. To be succinct his staff couldn't be more rude and unhelpful which is actually the highlight of his practice. I made at least 13 unreturned phone calls to his office. With an impending hearing I felt desperate and disconnected from my case which... involved my home. As my court date drew near I had no recourse but to call the Florida Bar. They were extremely professional and helpful and explained that they would send him a letter (which would take about 10 days). When I explained that my hearing was in less time than that they asked me to hold and called his office immediately. They returned to the line and indicated that he would be calling me. Surprisingly, he did. He was very agitated that I had the gaul to call the Bar. It was obvious that the only reason he called was because he was being exposed for the unprofessional he is. I wouldn't hire this guy to detail my car, much less do important legal work. You are the reason people group lawyers in with used car salesmen.

I brought my assortment of serious problems to Mr. Heintz and his staff several years ago. The process to find solutions, albeit deeply unpleasant for me, was handled by this firm with savvy, determined effort and understanding. I would recommend Mr. Heintz to anyone who is prepared to be accounta...ble for their own situation.

I'm a lawyer in Fort Myers, purely transactional law with no litigation experience. The set of unfortunate events that brought me to see Joe are not relevant. I knew the need for a foreclosure attorney would arrive and had been looking at the attorneys in court and reviewing their pleadings prior to... making a selection. I watched Joe and others in court and read their prior pleadings. By far Joe was the best attorney in court on the three times I observed foreclosure cases, visibly frustrating the banks attorneys and handcuffing the judge with case law. There are no words that I can write that can explain how grateful that I am to him and what he was able to do for me. Now, that being said, I do have to say that his staff was not always sensitive. I understand that they have a heavy caseload, but a little understanding as to the dire straits that people are suffering through would have gone a long way. My critique of his staff is in no way a reflection of his ability, skill and commitment to helping people. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that is in need of foreclosure or bankruptcy.

His service is so bad I cannot explain. He represented me in a foreclosure and Summary Judgment that was granted. It forced me into Chapter 13 bankruptcy. When My Bankruptcy attorney reviewed the note and ruling there never should have been this ruling. He could not have even looked at the note. ... Nothing was executed right. I should have been responsible for a small fraction of the amount due. The document was not signed by the appropriate parties and much much more. I attempted to have attorney Heintz fix the problem and he agreed but he did nothing. He never returns his phone calls. His staff knows nothing. I live in Ft Myers and drove to his office to meet him on more than one occasion and he was not even there. He does not read his documents. He is a bankruptcy mill only. DO NOT USE HIM! Looks like he will cost me everything due to his negligence.
