Horrible
Jeffery Heath seemed very knowledgeable and helpful on my first visit to his office. However, after he was paid in full for his services he never return phone calls or emails. He never informed me anything. He never sent me any copy of official documents he filed before hearing. He is so unprofession...

very disappointed
mr heath was not prepared in spite of multiple meetings and long preparation hours billed. He was frustrated and overwilmed in court. Not a positive experience!!
We are always striving to provide people with premium legal help and customer service. I personally care about all of my clients and I want them to succeed in their case. Regardless of what transpired with this client, I am very sorry that he felt he did not receive the service he deserved. With that said, I am very perplexed as to why this former client waited to post a review of my services in 2017, considering the work I did for him took place in 2014. I was the fourth attorney to work with this person, and I represented him at trial. I understand that perceptions and memories can certainly differ, especially as time goes on. However, my team and I did obtain the best possible result for this client, and that result was the product of diligent work and preparation. Furthermore, at no point during my recent review of this client's file did I see any places where he was mistakenly or irresponsibly billed. Unfortunately, the only probable explanation as to why this client would leave a negative review has nothing to do with my legal services: In January of 2015, I was forced to terminate my relationship with this client after he unnecessarily verbally abused my office manager. Obviously, this was not the most ideal way for the partnership to end. As of today, my office manager and I have no ill feelings or animosity towards this client despite his "sour grapes."

Smart, thorough and caring
In addition to referring numerous clients to Mr. Heath for family law matters, who all received excellent service, I personally hired Mr. Heath on 2 separate occasions to handle personal civil matters. Mr. Heath and his staff were always prepared and helpful, and we won both matters!

No show
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.

Great lawyer, great person
My first ever experience having to hire an attorney, always thought the worst of the profession. Couldn't have been more surprised or happy. He kept me from making rash and emotional decisions, that I would have regretted later, and what he described for me to expect before the case began, matched th...
