Amazing lawyer

Taylor handled my disability case for me. Dead end after dead end turn down after turn down, he advised and supported my case for 3 years. He didnt give up and fought hard for me. At court, he knew every inch of my case. The judge even commened him in the end for being so professional and knowled...geable of my case. I would recommend and hire Taylor again to handle a case for me. We won the case thanks to Taylor and his care and interest in my case. Thanks again Taylor.

Excellent Lawyer!!!

I would highly recommend Attorney Edward T Polk to everyone I know. He’s very considerate about his clients needs and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the job done. From the day I initially spoke to him, he treated me like a client before I even became one. He was always available to me whe...never I had a question, whether by phone or email, while also making sure my concerns were met each time. Nowadays, it’s hard to find an attorney who finds the time to speak to their clients personally. If you’re looking for an Attorney who will give you their full attention, then Attorney Edward T Polk is the person the hire. He will not stir you wrong nor allow the other party to treat you unfairly during the process.

An excellent lawyer, and wonderful brother

I truly appreciate the patience, understanding, and diligence my dear friend Edward Polk bestowed on I and my families behalf. A man, that met me at my bedside in a hospital, and has not left. I have witnessed his passion for helping others. I truly am grateful to have made a new friend. Heilman ...law group is truly fortunate to have him.

Successful!!!!

I can't say enough positive things about Heilman Law Group and their staff. From the very first phone call they helped me with a difficult situation. Taylor Polk was so helpful and explained everything during the whole process. This had to be the smoothest transition to winning a case I've ever been... involved in. I would recommend Heilman Law to anyone needing help with a legal problem.
