Great attorney

I've used David Heiman in two different situations. One was for custody/child support when my son's father just stopped showing up to pick up my son when we had joint custody. David got me full custody and a fair amount of child support in less than 5 months. He worked hard and was always available w...hen I needed anything. I used him again two years later when my husband's ex called CPS unwarranted on us when I was 8 months pregnant. CPS called my phone at 6:45am and then had the nerve to write in a report that I sounded like I was on drugs. I had just had a baby and was exhausted! Long story short David saved my family from the vicious claws of CPS and got them to drop their BS case and leave us alone! I am so incredibly thankful for his dedication to our case. He was a tad hard on me but I could tell he was just making sure we were being truthful. Once he believed me he really pushed and fought hard for me. I would definitely recommend him!

Worst lawyer ever!

This man is a joke. I hired him and he took 6 months to even start a un contested divorce. I could of got full custody of my daughter a long time ago. He draghedbhis feet to another 6 months. Now he had been my lawyer a year with nothing started or finished. I ended up pregnant during the process. He... wanted to charge me another 3k in fees and i wanted tempory rights started he said that would be another 1500. A total 5k for what was supposed to only take 6 months. Now 1 and a half years later u hured another attorney and he refused to give me my money back. He is lazy and rude. Amd treats people like they are nothing. The entire time i meet with him hr was on his phone! Do your self a favor and do not hire him

My kids and I won... via David Heiman

David Heiman is by far the most trustworthy person and attorney in the entire ordeal of going through a divorce. He stepped in several times for me when I needed an advocate for myself and my children. He takes control of the problems quickly and can read an individual at first glance. His respon...se time is very quick, staff very friendly and his humor helped during a hard time to laugh. I highly recommend him. My kids and I are now safe.

I wouldn't recommend this clown to anyone.

I went through a divorce about 5 years ago. My wife successfully bilked me out of my kids, home, bank accounts etc... David Heiman managed to get about $20,000 of my money while providing NO service. He sent letters. That was about it. I provided him with a constant stream of evidence in the form of ...cell phone records that my wife was having an affair with my boss. He did nothing. I provided him with medical records that she was self abusive (picked sores on herself). He did nothing. In the final analysis, I found out HER lawyer was HIS apprentice. He just did nothing and took my money and lost me my kids. Don't EVER go to this clown. You will rue the day you did.

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!
