Mr. Heisler was impeccable
We sought Mr. Heisler's representation for parental right's termination followed by a step-parent adoption. His expertise in the current laws and his calm confidence made a potentially stressful and chaotic time for the family become an absolute breeze. He went above and beyond to provide us with ca...

Replied last October 20, 2015Thank “YOU” for allowing my firm to help. While I tell client how it is based on the law, and some do not like to hear it, I am so glad your case went well, as many do for my clients. I will never forget that my clients trust their lives and their children’s lives to my care. I am always humbled when I see clients saying such kind words in such a public way about me.

I have recommended Steve Heisler and will continue to do so. He represented me through my divorce. I always found him to be professional, patient, honest, kind and encouraging. He kept me informed and was a strong and powerful advocate for me during a very trying time.

Replied last June 11, 2015Thank you for your kind words. The words "professional, patient, honest, kind and encouraging" mean a lot coming from a client. With the views so many people have about attorneys overall, it is nice to see someone pointing out SOME of us care about our clients and see them as people, not a paycheck, and I am seen as person that cares about clients. I don't get these types of reviews from every client I work for, but it is nice when a client takes THEIR time to tell others how they were treated. People seem to be fast to post bad things, but it takes a stand up person to post as you did. THANK YOU for taking the time !!!!

Great Attorney
Seriously the best attorney. After 10 months of going through a custody battle, and child support, attorney Steven Heisler gave it his all. Steve makes sure he gets his facts, you get 100% of his attention on your case, and he doesnt stop until he wins. And he did just that. When he says to trust hi...

Replied last October 19, 2014Thank you for the kind words. While the same results cant happen for everyone, I’m glad we fought hard for you and got you the results you wanted. Thank you for putting your trust in me, I know people must in many cases put their futures in my hands and that is a special responsibility for me, and I know it, and will never forget it either. Again thank you for your kind words and allowing my firm to help you with your legal needs

Assaulted father with little faith in the system
I have two problems with attorneys. One, you can never get in contact with them after they take your case. Two, they have a habit of blowing sunshine up your @$$ on your chances. Mr. Heisler was different on both counts. He always keep me well informed and presented me with his honest legal insig...

Replied last August 28, 2014Thank you for the kind words. I live by the motto “Always try to do the right thing”. I try to have my client do the same and in most cases when they do, it pays off for them. Most of my clients will tell you I have a passion for my client’s fights, it seems you see that. I agree, I have heard about the attorneys that blow that sunshine and “over sell” the client’s case to the client to get them to retain the attorney. Doing the right thing is telling the client the good and the bad about their case
