Above & Beyond

Christy represented my husband and I when filing for bankruptcy. Not only did she exceed our expectations then but has since continued to go out of her way for us. During the bankruptcy process, I was hot mess. I was nervous, scared, ignorant on the law, embarrassed, etc. Christy was very kind, p...rofessional, patient and extremely informative. Being in the midst of a 5 year bankruptcy, items are occasionally needed from me ( proof of income, job change info, etc..). Time and consideration has always been given. The willingness to explain every little step without a single hint of exasperation is a true blessing. Above and Beyond ---- With the passing of a loved one, I needed (or thought I needed) another attorney to assist me with a separate issue. Guess what...., you are not allowed to do that when your are in bankruptcy unless you get approval from your trustee first. Anyway, this other lawyer broke my heart... would not return phone calls, texts, or emails. I would plead on the phone for her to return my calls to no avail. I was devastated. I reached out to Christy for help. Let me just say this---the end result................I was able to get a refund of my full retainer (2500.00) from the (broke-my-heart) lawyer. I was able to process this additional case on my own, it didn't cost me a penny, and the outcome was a great success. PLEASE KNOW-----I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE, ASSISTANCE, PATIENCE, AND JUST THE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN HEART OF CHRISTY HEIMER. I WILL FOREVER BE THANKFUL :-)

The best law firm I have ever had. When a problem came up I would call Christy and she would immediately return my call. I would personally like to thank Christy and her staff for making my worst moment tolerable. I recommend Heimer Law Firm without a shadow of doubt. Thank you Ladies.

Incredible human being who is also an incredible lawyer!

I've only used a lawyer a few times in my life. So far one was a joke, the other is great dealing with an issue I currently have and then there's Christy, who helped me through my bankruptcy with such professionalism, punctuated by her winning and gentle personality, that she made such a trying time ...incredibly easy and definitely not at all scary. Everybody's circumstances are different but mine went like clockwork every step of the way. Face it, if you come to her you have some problems but from the initial consultation on, you'll leave feeling in great hands with somebody who actually cares about you. Her secretary Katie is so professional as well. She's a wealth of information and always made me feel welcome and not burdensome with any questions or issues I had. I don't think there's enough superlatives to do Heimer Law justice. Do yourself a favor...if you need a bankruptcy lawyer, you need to at least speak to Christy. She'll change your life. She did mine.

Great Service!

I walked in with a ton of bricks on my shoulders and left feeling light as a feather. Realistic, honest with solutions. If you're feeling lost and confused, this is where you need to be... very honest, friendly and down to earth. Just what I needed. Thank you and God bless!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
