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...al and does not know what he is doing. When I hired him I thought it would get my problems resolved and all he has done is made a huge tragedy for me. His answer was often “I don’t know” when the judge checked some files and forms with him in the Court. He was just in it for the money. He also double booked himself at courthouse. He was juggling between 2 courtrooms with 2 different cases during my hearing. He couldn’t concentrate on answering any one of Judge’s questions.

Great Job

I have worked with Mr. Heath and enjoyed the experience. He is easy to work with and responsive when called upon. His office staff is efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I recommend him.

Good Attorney

I had a divorce and Trust case together. I hired Jeff for the family matter. Before Jeff, I had other two attorneys but they did not know how to handle this case so I let them go. I had the answer every time I emailed Jeff. He handle my case professionally. I highly recommended Jeff to anyone who re...ally need a good attorney.

Goes the extra mile!

I've used Mr. Heath on several occasions and each time he was AMAZING! He answered every question I had and explained everything thoroughly. He has gone above and beyond, with his service and always has called me back, with in a very reasonable amount of time, even when my questions haven't been urg...ent. I've referred him to several friends, and they've all be very happy with his service.

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.
