About Robert
Biography
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.

Great attorney
We hired Bob Heap as he came recommended by a very good friend. He represented our son on a major driving violation which resulted in a minor accident.

University Title IX
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 involvemen...

I thoroughly endorse Bob Heap!
Bob helped us secure a two year Order of Protection for my 17 year old daughter due to domestic abuse. Not only as a parent, but as a past client, I can only be thankful for retaining Bob again. He is honest, full of integrity and professional. His fees are more than fair. I hope I won't need to reta...
