Josephine Paula Heller's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. She has been my colleague for the past two years and I have been impressed with her energy, creativity, aggressiveness, and professionalism. She spent years as a tough prosecutor and is now an even tougher criminal defense attorney at both the trial and appellate levels. She prepares thoroughly for all her court appearances and is totally capable of working under pressure and deadlines, even when she has several cases coming to a head at the same time. This is a lawyer any criminal defendant would want to be represented by."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jo is an outstanding attorney with a keen passion in helping families in crisis. Her experience as a former prosecutor enables her to review a client's case objectively and thoroughly. Her extensive work in the courtroom over her years of practice is always a major benefit in serving her client's well-being. Jo's affability results in prosecutors listening to client's position with an open ear and produces diplomatic solutions for them even when the facts appear dire."
