Criminal

Scott was great with my criminal case. He wasn't just a lawyer. He was more like family. He was very caring and compassionate about ny situation. He was always punctual, reliable and got me a great deal! Thanks Scott!

Very slow

I'm not sure he did any work on my case. He never contacted me after I paid him. I've tried to politely check in. Always the same answer it is a slow process. Very disappointed. Checked his reviews before hiring him, I seem to be the only one with this problem. My husband and I are going to have to h...ire someone else.

Amazing Attoney!

Scott Heitmann was amazing on my case. He was thorough, attentive to my concerns, and aggressive in my defense. I was in fact innocent. He carefully examined and presented the evidence and forged a deal that will lead to a dismissal of the false charges against me. I am very thankful and don't th...ink I could have selected a better attorney. God Bless you Scott and my family and I thank you with all our hearts.

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.
