Excellent!

Hiring Attorney Heller was one of the best decisions we ever made. When faced with a very difficult civil suit, he was able to guide us though the process and help us get to an early resolution that satisfied all parties. He is very knowledgeable of the law and all the processes involved in litigatio...n. He was caring, understanding, communicative, and hard working. He held our best interests, while also giving us the reality of the case at hand, from an objective perspective, without sugar-coating anything or giving us any false hopes. If you need an attorney who knows what he's doing and actually cares, you need to hire Michael Heller.

He charged me almost $1000 to tell me that the other party had a strong case. He never once met with me and conversations on the phone were limited on his time. I provided him with strong witnesses for the case and they were never utilized. I ended up receiving a judgment against me for the full am...ount I was being sued for. I would have saved $ taking it to court without his assistance! Lesson learned.

I provide each client with an analysis of his or her case, including its strengths and weaknesses. Part of this analysis focuses on the strength of the other party’s case, including that party's arguments, witnesses, evidence and other factors relative to those of my client. Additionally, I require that each client actively communicate with me, and I include a clause in my retainer agreement stating my expectations regarding active communication because it is the client who is the ultimate decision maker regarding litigation, including whether to settle a dispute. In this instance, the case was set for trial, but the parties reached a settlement. The client, however, failed to sign and return the required settlement documents despite phone calls and emails over the course of days. Without signed settlement documents, the trial proceeded, but the client did not appear for the trial. Ultimately, because the client failed to communicate, failed to sign settlement paperwork, and failed to appear for the court trial, judgment was entered against the client.
