Better call Paul

Hands down the best legal counsel in Central Oregon. Follow up, follow through and get the job done. So glad I met him. There will always be his cell number in my phone.

Paul B Heatherman THE BEST Choice

I am very grateful for the kindness, efficiency, thoroughness, and speed with which Paul settled my needs. I came to him very confused about quit claim and bargain sale deeds and disappointment over much higher home insurance rates,for the coming year. Paul made me aware of the value of a living trus...t, something I intended to draw up years ago but never had. He also found an insurance company for me that is 85 dollars less than my insurance before they raised the rates and $220 less than what i would be paying now if i stayed with the old insurance policy. Every cent counts with me, and the gal who arranged for my new insurance is so friendly. Paul drew up the living trust very quickly and I am so relieved that what had been stressing me out for years was so easily taken care of. Paul was very generous in his charges, and on both occasions I hired his expert service, he charged me less than the quoted price. Finally, and of great importance, Paul is such a genuinely GOOD man. And his receptionist Christine was so very cheerful, friendly, and helpful during my 3 visits. I strongly recommend you consider this lawyer if he handles the kind of legal work you are needing!!!!!

Mr. Heatherman represented me on a construction project and a landlord/tenant case. I found Paul to be an expert in the legal issues. I am very pleased with the outcomes in both matters. I really appreciate his problem solving skills. I highly recommend Mr. Heatherman.
