Proven results

David Heiman handled my case for enforcement of child support. He had previously handled my divorce case. He did his homework. There were other factors in consideration at one of the Hearings where Mr. Heiman presented case law in order to get my case transferred to the court of jurisdiction. Mr.... Heiman was empathetic and objective in working with me to realistically and properly address my concerns. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. He was able to look at the details of the case from both sides and he gave me great advice that ultimately produced favorable outcomes. The judges ruled in our favor EVERY TIME. Mr. Heiman is intelligent, impressive, compassionate and caring, and can bring out the humorous side of an unpleasant situation. Hire him! He will do no less than his very best to help you through it.

Client he "represented" through divorce

I never like to not recommend someone but I do hope he becomes more empathetic toward his clients. He lacked focus and transparency and spent the majority of his time talking about the opposing client with little regard for my welfare. I am still suffering from the outcome. I would like to have fa...ith that he will use this as a learning experience and be more empathetic toward future clients

Wonderful experience, truly considerate lawyer

My husband and I are so happy with our experience with David Heiman and his office staff. I needed to have my daughter's bio father terminate his rights in order for my husband to legally adopt her, and I was terrified. David made the process so easy, and was so sensitive to the delicacy of the pr...ocess. His secretary did all the "dirty" work for me with talking to her bio father, and went out of her way to facilitate all my concerns (I.E. adding the ability to track all the mail we sent to him, signature upon delivery, etc). We started at the end of the summer, and David said he really wanted to try to have the process done by Christmas, so we could have the burden lifted and spend our first Christmas together as a "legal family". Everything went quickly, and sure enough, the adoption was finalized about a week before Christmas. I was shocked with how NOT stressful the process was. It was seamless. David even dined with our whole family to discuss things we had questions about. Lawyers who are so considerate of a family in a sensitive time are, in my experience, unheard of. I really lucked out stumbling upon his practice by googling lawyers in my area. Thank you so much, David!

Posted by anonymous | December 01, 2011 | Uncontested Divorce

Do NOT retain this attorney if you want REASONABLE service.

I hired David in January for an uncontested divorce. I paid his firm a $2500 retainer fee. I have not met him, we have not been to any court hearings, and I have not SPOKEN to him (except a 2 minute argument in judges chambers via telephone...he did this in the presence of opposing counsel) despite m...ultiple requests via email. I have upcoming court dates and he's demanding an additional $2000 from me or will not be appearing in court. I have only had contact with his paralegals since January. I have documented calls with them and there is absolutely no way they've depleted $2500 at $115/hr. He has attempted to withdraw from my case TWICE. I told him (paralegals) I was in agreement with that as long as they refunded my money. He showed up at one of my hearings not to represent me, but to withdraw. This is when the judge made him go to chambers and call me (I am out of state). All David seems to be concerned about is money. He has NO respect, regard, empathy, compassion or heart for his clients. I would never recommend him to anyone. In fact, I would encourage anyone considering retaining him to RECONSIDER. He has no work ethic, does not respond to calls, requests, and he lacks morals and values based on the way he treats his clients.
