This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Respectable

Mr. Heller was engaging and explained my situation very well. He ensured that I understood my risks. I felt reassured and supported by him, which is something I do not experience with many lawyers. It is very rare to find a lawyer like Mr. Heller. Highly recommend and thank you for all your help.

Avvo Rating

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.
