Purchase/Sell Agreement for Trust Real Estate

Mark Heckele did a thorough job of creating all the legal paperwork I needed as a co-trustee to complete a purchase agreement for my mothers property. He was timely, courteous and answered all my questions. It also was far less hassle and less expensive then going through a real estate agent. Thank y...ou Mark!

Posted by FT | February 02, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Mr. Heckele is the best

In 2015, I was blindsided with a judgment in a nasty tentant-landlord (I was the tenant) dispute. I called multiple firms and organizations, and was hitting a wall repeatedly until a Maricopa-based lawyer advised me to find a good real estate lawyer in my county. Again, more calls and patience were n...eeded. In the meantime, papers were rolling and my wages were in the process of being garnished. It was the start of a real nightmare, and I felt no one was listening to MY side of the case. When I finally called and spoke with Mr. Heckele he was immediately down-to-earth, rational, patient, intelligent and he 'cuts through the butter' - He doesn't parade around facts, and waste time. After hearing the status of the case in tandem with the timing, he quickly proposed an agreement, and clearly stated the pro's, con's (risks) and timeline for me. His fee(s) were clearly stated and written and shared with me so that I could review everything thoroughly, and he asked me to call him if I ever had a question. I can tell you, I don't call if I don't have something to call about - But each and every time I called, Mr. Heckele was available to speak with me, or called back within an hour. Same thing with email response time - He and his colleagues (firm) are extremely courteous, responsive and kind. I had the best attorney experience ever with Mr. Heckele and if I ever am asked who to call, it will be him (his firm). The money and time are worth it, and I am very very thankful I found their contact information when I did. OUTCOME: Case was mitigated/closed sooner than I imagined/expected, and very happy with the agreement and results!

Excellent!

I would recommend this attorney he was the ONLY attorney in Tucson that would handle my complicated case when I lived in Pennsylvania. His communication was excellent and fought hard for me and won! If anyone is looking for an attorney he is the one! I would hire him in a heart beat if needed an atto...rney he went that extra mile to make sure I won my case and I did!! and did not over charge me. AAAAA++++++

An Attorney who will Get IT Done Right!

I cannot say that in the past, my experience with any attorney has been a positive one. They all speak in "their language", which I often felt was a purposeful maneuver. I met Mark Heckele over the phone. He spent an hour of his time giving me free advice and did not pressure me into meeting with h...im (unusual). When we did meet, at my suggestion, he not only took on my legal work, but spoke in language I could understand. He is prompt in actions and responses to his clients. He is a friendly, down to earth kind of guy who is there for You. I have now come to trust his advice implicitly and allow him to do the research and talking for me. If you want a dependable, knowledgeable attorney, call Mark Heckele. He is simply the BEST in Tucson!

Mark Heckele is the BEST!

Mark worked diligently on documents for an investor in my business. He went over and above, got everything done in a timely manner and was responsive to my calls and questions. He executed all agreements without delay and kept me in the loop when dealing with my investor's attorney on the East coast.... I am grateful to Mark for his knowledge, compassion and execution of needed documents! We will be using Mark to review our business's lease agreement now.

Real estate lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mark Heckele and I represented adverse clients on a real estate matter. While we were both tenacious advocates for our clients' respective positions, Mark was at all times respectful, cooperative, and courteous. At a mediation for the case, I was thoroughly impressed with Mark's ability to project a sense of calm and order over what had become an increasingly heated dispute. While he was clearly very well prepared and knew the facts of the case and the applicable law inside and out, perhaps his greatest skill was his ability to take the discord out of a dispute. The parties reached a mutually agreeable settlement. Often, when parties enter a settlement agreement, neither party feels like they really got what they wanted. In this case however, Mark was instrumental in making both sides feel like they won. I endorse this lawyer."
