Felony case

Mr heekin was amazing he helped me so much i was facing 8 years in jail for a gun charge, ans he got my 3 years intense probation. He is so good i will definitely recommend him to anyone that needs help

Posted by anonymous | August 04, 2008 | Criminal Defense

Awesome results

Mr. Heekin listened and addressed my concerns. He was friendly and told me what to expect. My charges were dismissed with no fines or costs. If I need an attorney again, which I hope not, I will use him again and recommend him to my friends.

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.
