Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Heimgartner to help get me through a difficult situation remotely. He was very responsive, professional, and thorough through phone calls and emails. He explained the available options in depth and his recommendation gave me the best possible outcome. He was there for me every step of th...e way. I highly recommend him!

Great Attorney

Hermann Was a great attorney from start to finish. He handled my case with professionalism and care both on the legal side and in answering any questions I had and also kept me informed about the process and the steps we needed to take.

Hermann is an excellent attorney and colleague

Hermann is an excellent resource for local attorneys. He fights for all of his criminal clients, regardless if the severity of the charge. He is also an accomplished civil litigator, helping many with contract disputes, construction disputes (mechanic's liens), and personal injury lawsuits. I highly ...recommend Hermann should you find yourself needing an attorney.

Excellent

Mr. Heimgartner helped me about the disclosure issue of my house after the closing. The damage cost is less than $10K and it is considered as a "minor" real estate case (comparing to other major issue, such as easement, etc), but as an hourly paid part time worker, it is a big amount. He considered... my financial issue and provided me a good enough support. As a result, the case was solved quicker and I received much larger amount of compensation that nobody expected. I liked the way of his support, because he always explained to me "pro and con", and respected of my decision. Thanks Mr. Heimgartner!

Great Consulataion

I went to Mr. Heimgartner for the consulatation today. He spent good enough time to review my real estate issue, and provided me a couple of options that I can do at this moment. I see his honesty and he was willing to help people who is in trouble. So far, my issue (hopefully) could be solved by ...going to the small claims court or complaining to the professional agency. But in case I need a professional person, I definitely hire him as my attorney. Thank you Mr. Heimgartner!

Personal injury lawyer | Aug 04

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Hermann is a great lawyer. As a former trial lawyer with the public defender's office, he is not afraid to take a case all the way to trial if necessary to protect his clients' interests. This is huge. So many attorneys advertise themselves as "trial attorneys", but are actually afraid of the courtroom. Not Hermann. Hermann has expanded his practice to personal injury work and he has been very successful because of his aggressive approach. I highly recommend Hermann if you have a personal injury claim as he will be able to navigate you through a stressful life event with the knowledge and experience you would hope your attorney would have. You won't be disappointed with Hermann's representation."
