David Harvey Heisler

I hired David to handle a fairly straight forward custody case. His initial consultation left me feeling good about my choice. However soon after I agreed to pay everything changed. They did not follow up with me ever. They seriously did not return one phone call of mine. He seemed very arro...gant and disengaged. They appear way to busy and should not be accepting new clients. His staff is rude and he scapegoats them for every failure. If you do hire him stay on top of them and demand results. I ended up hiring a less expensive, less known attorney and my case was wrapped up in a few weeks.

Mr. Heisler is a lazy attorney. When I first hired him for my divorce, he promised he would always keep me informed, which he NEVER did. Four years ago, he fired me as a client because I had spoken in court stating facts he refused to present. The judge subsequently ruled in my favor although she was... about to rule in favor of my ex-wife. The reason Mr. Heisler refused to present these facts was he stated they were irrelevant. Obviously the judge did not have the same opinion. Mr. Heisler withdrew just as I needed representation the most although I found that arguing the case myself was preferable to having a bad lawyer. Today I found out that he had not filed a withdrawal with the court nor did he inform me that my ex-wife had filed a new petition to have me pay her attorney fees. His negligence hamstrings me since I cannot get help from legal aide or even hire another lawyer until he files the withdrawal with the court. I called his office today and was told that they do not file a withdrawal or a substitution of attorney unless requested. It's been four years and he abandoned me. Why the delay?

I retained David for child custody and support. During my consult he seemed like the perfect fit. Seemed knowledgeable and said he would would work his hardest. Not true! He was late for every court appearance. He showed up on court with little knowledge of the case. He never returned calls, met wit...h me before my hearings, and was straight out rude. He does not listen to anything you have to say and always interrupts. If I didn't struggle so much to pay the hefty retainer I would have fired him and found a new attorney. His office staff is unprofessional and rude as well. I have never seen anything like it. Please take my warning. I wish I would have read reviews like this and went with someone else. I feel I am actin as my own attorney. I have to prepare all information for hearings and give it to him.

I was hesitant to call because David is a father’s rights attorney, but my boyfriend used him and he got custody of his children. I was very happy I did. With the help of his professional staff paperwork was prepared on an emergency and David was in court for me in 48 hours. I needed a restraining... order as my ex-husband was very abusive. We got it and I ended up with sole custody of my children and a very good support order. I recommend David for Moms and Dads.
