      Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

      Posted by

      Michael Heilmann was recommended to us by Legal Shield. He did a truly outstanding job explaining the legal process to me. He fought hard for a a fair settlement in my case against the government. I received my settlement as stated. He is a very experienced attorney, kind & honest. I highly recommend Michael Heilmann.

      Mr. Heilman took on my case for my brother when the other lawyer didn't want to deal with it. Mike went above and beyond for my family. He's tough in the courtroom and knows how to put up a good fight. My family and I are really happy with the results for Mr. Heilmann's performance. Thank you Mike for everything.

      Fantastic Lawyer

      Mr. Heilmann took over my case when another attorney was not performing to my satisfaction. He put my faith back into the legal profession as he is a very kind, loyal, honest attorney who goes the extra mile to win your case. I would highly recommend him.

      Phenomenal results

      Mr. Heilmann took on our medical malpractice case at the 11th hour and managed to secure a very nice settlement that will go a long way toward paying for ongoing medical care. He and his staff showed a high level of care, professionalism and determination throughout the process. We are so grateful for his expertise and the outcome, and we recommend him highly.

      I struggled with injuries related to an out-of-state auto accident for over 18 months until I finally found a surgeon willing to listen to me and my symptoms: diagnosis 2 broken vertebrea and crushed disc amongst other internal injuries. With that diagnosis in-hand, I decided it was time to hire an attorney. Michael was recommended by a local attorney for his expertise in dealing with both Michigan and Florida injury suits. He was very open up-front about the potential journey that may be the result of filing an out-of-state claim and how long it could take. Fortunately, he was able to effectively negotiate with the at-fault party's insurance company armed with the diagnosis and details of the circumstances and was able to settle for the full covered amount in only a few months! He is now working on settlements for my family members also impacted in the same accident. Would highly recommend him!

      Unparalleled

      Posted by

      Attorney Heilmann really went to bat for me on my personal injury. He always kept me informed and answered my questions. At first the insurance company didn't want to pay anything but we eventually settled for more money than I thought was possible.

      Miracle Worker!

      Posted by

      Prior to taking my case Mr. Heilmann carefully reviewed the facts of my case. Other lawyers had turned my case down. I received the wrong medication from a mail order pharmacy. He convinced my therapist to submit evidence of the injuries which was crucial, and therapists are very hesitant to get involved. A huge plus was his experience with the same pharmacy from a previous suit. Mr. Heilmann is licensed to practice law in the state I live, as well as the state the mail pharmacy is located. He told me at the outset he never takes a case he doesn't think he can win. He told me what to expect in the deposition I gave and kept me abreast of the status during the three year case. He always returned my calls in a timely fashion and gave me a realistic idea of what I could expect at the conclusion of the case which turned out to be exactly the amount he predicted. In addition to receiving the money he obtained for me, he's also a very nice man and it was a pleasure getting to know him.

      Honest and hard working Lawyer

      we have known Mr. Heilmann for over 10 years and he is the ONLY attorney we would use. He has represented us in court and what a fabulous job he did. He had everyones attention and all eyes where on him while he pleaded our case and what a way he has in the courtroom. And yes we won our case. He has hanlded another case for us and again we won and he is currently handling a case for our granddaughter. He is knowledgable, caring and goes after the facts and protects his clients. I would hope you never have a injury serious enough to need his service but if you should he is the attornery for you.
