John has been excellent to work with, and with his guidance was able to get through some rather troubled times.
He is always available when needed. John and I worked together via email for the most part; if that is your preferred method of communication then you will appreciate his rare ability to use a computer effectively. If you prefer the phone, then he is still the man for the job.
To sum up: you get what you pay for, and John is top-notch.

John was my divorce attorney. He did an exceptional job of making a very difficult situation as civil as possible. John guided me through every step. I knew exactly what to expect before every meeting. John was positive and confident in each meeting and fortunately for me, was my voice when I could not find mine. John was also very fair to both parties (which I respected). John was always available to answer any questions or help me sort out a lot of the emotional pieces that come along with a divorce. I would highly recommend John to anyone. I would definitely use his services again, if needed.

42 years
I grew up in Cincinnati and graduated from Walnut Hills High School and the University of Cincinnati College of Law. I  have been a practicing attorney in Cincinnati for over 35 years. At this time, my practice is concentrated in the areas of Family Law and representing people who have been injured in car, motor vehicle and truck crashes.
Â
If you have any family law problem - divorce, dissolution, child custody dispute, or related issue such as spousal support (alimony) or division of property or debts - or a post decree problem - call me if you want to talk with an attorney who is not only highly competent and experienced, but also understanding and sympathetic.
Â
I am a strong advocate of the Collaborative Process for resolving family law problems, and I have been an active member of the Cincinnati Academy of Collaborative Professionals for 13 years. In my experience, if both spouses hire attorneys with significant training and experience in resolving cases through the Collaborative Process, in many cases this will be the best way for the spouses to proceed to work out the various issues that need to be resolved when a marriage is ending. Nevertheless, I do recognize and understand however, that there are some situations where a more aggressive and positional process is required. I have the experience and skill to represent my clients in those situations as well.

A Truly Happy Customer
Mr. Heilbrun is a very good attorney and I would recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce. I was married to a military servicemen which can have its challenges in itself and he reached out to an attorney who was well experienced with my kind of case for support. I am pleased with his services and thank him for his commitment.

"John is an experienced attorney who is great to work with. John is always professional, kind, and prompt with responses. He understands that civility on the part of the attorneys can set the tone for civility between the parties in sometimes contentious family matters, which ultimately helps parties to resolve difficult issues outside of the court process."
