Mr Heath was a court appointed. We called him 5 times. He called us once to ask why we were calling him. I faxed him the letter from the court appointing him as our lawyer. After that he never responded to our calls. Never showed up for court. I hope he is ok.
Dear "John": The only and official process for me to be appointed to represent an individual in court is for the Clerk of the Court to send me directly a Minute Order and a copy of the pleadings in that particular case. The process you describe in your anonymous posting is not an official court appointment. Additionally, I have been appointed to hundreds of cases and have never been advised by the Court that I ever missed an appearance. I'm not sure what happened in your case because I don't know who you are. However, if you provide me with a copy of the Minute Order appointing me as your attorney and the underlying pleadings, I will try to figure out what happened.

The Best Lawyer EVER!!!
Mr. Heath was so helpful in helping me get more custody of my daughter. He was just really easy to talk to and he really made me feel comfortable. He has a beautiful office in Newport Beach where he met with me, and we went over the case. After I worked closely with his paralegal Bekki who was ju...
