About Robert

I have been practicing law for about 30 years. I have found that my clients want an attorney that is not only competent and aggressive, but one that will listen to them. I spend as much time with my clients as they want and need. The last thing I say to anyone that meets with me is "if you ever have any questions, please call me any time". I believe that communication is critical when dealing with a serious criminal matter. I always keep my clients informed about their case.

I understand that your case is often times the most serious matter that you have ever dealt with in your life. I make sure that you have a strong advocate that treats your case the way you would expect. My clients always know that I will do everything I can to help you.

Review Robert A. Heap

University Title IX

5.0 stars

Posted by Jeff
November 4, 2017

Mr. Heap came to us highly recommended, and for good reason. Our son was the Respondent in a Title IX case at Northwestern University. These types of cases are handled entirely by and within universities, are completely separate from the criminal justice system, and severely restrict the involvement of attorneys. As such, Mr. Heap served in the capacity of an advisor. His experience with this type of case proved invaluable. Mr. Heap was able to interpret the procedure and documentation from the university, and was also able to anticipate and foresee the possible outcomes in the case. Forced to remain behind the scenes, Mr. Heap ultimately coached our son to present himself in the most competent, assertive, humble, and gracious manner possible. Again, because university Title IX cases "fly under the radar" of the criminal justice system, they can be extremely intimidating for the accused. Fortunately, Mr. Heap proved to be a most erudite companion in our quest for a fair trial; and, in the end, a fair trial was indeed rendered.
