Mike M - Past Client

I was pushed into a corner that required the services of Mr. Heilman. His knowledge and expertise delivered exactly the service I needed. In rating his abilities, I truly could not think of any reason to not give him an "Excellent," and 5 stars in each category. Mr. Heilman's capability of providing ...counsel in a real, human manner made him a pleasure to work with, during a very unpleasant time. I would, and have, recommended him many times. He has stayed in touch with me since I used his services professionally. This means to me that he not only handles his cases with the utmost professionalism, but he also keeps his clients in highest regard and cares about how his relationships grow.
