My case against NM licensing board

I am so grateful that George Heidke took my case. He was with me every step of the way. He has an innate ability to show compassion and be a tenacious attorney simultaneously. I felt like my case was his top priority. I was notified of every detail and he presented the options available in a succinct... manner. He is also a great human. I highly recommend his services.

Very Knowledgeable

Mr. Heidke represented me in a dispute against the Department of Workforce Solutions (DWS). He reviewed my case very efficiently and quickly provided me with the appropriate guidance. He is very knowledgeable in this field. I won my case with his guidance. I highly recommend him.

Knows his law

Mr. Heidke represented me in an employment case against the Department of Workforce Solutions and proved that his knowledge of employment law is top notch. I'm grateful for his representation and attention to detail. We won!

Dissatisfaction

Met with George at his 2nd st office. I have car dash cam footage of myself there at his offices ready to receive a consultation on Feb 1st, 2022. He agreed to work together and to expect a contract through email. We shook hands and i went home like normal. I waited 36 days before recovering any ema...il, and that email was to inform me that he would not be accepting my case. I only had a certain amount of time to submit paperwork and he wasted half that time for no reason given to me. I would never recommend him. I was able to submit my own paperwork thankfully

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
