Negligent and horrible advocate

I hired her to assist with custody and divorce . She was recommended by legal aid. she did nothing for me as I was a victim of domestic violence and furthermore was not a good advocate for catering towards my cultural needs. She then withdrew herself from my case when she had to actually do some wor...k In order to win. I would not hire this attorney for anyone of color or anyone that is looking for a good advocate.

Replied last September 26, 2017

I wholeheartedly try to assist those referred by Legal Aid for legal assistance in domestic violence cases or those in circumstances desperately needing legal representation, especially in custody cases, which sometimes means offering payment plan options for legal fees. However, I do withdraw from cases due to clients failing to substantially fulfill an obligation regarding payment for lawyer services or not following the prescribed payment plan.

Domestic Violence Representation

Mrs Heim has been amazing for me. She has helped me escape a dangerous situation & has held my hand through the entire process. She has always provided prompt responses & walked me through everything I needed to know & do during my domestic violence proceedings. She will definitely by my divorce a...ttorney a year from now, too....

Great Debator

Annette as she prefers her clients call her is not only very good at details and facts, she argues in court very meticulously and with an unbelievable acuity all while maintaining a composed demeanor. She is one of the best lawyers around the concord, NC area.

Annette Heim's Is a Top Notch Family Lawyer

Annette Heim's is an outstanding lawyer. We have hired and continue to have her as our family lawyer. She is top notch and very dedicated to our case and is very personable. She is like family and saying that about a lawyer is funny in a way. If you are looking for someone who is straight forward a...nd fights for you, then Annette is your lawyer. We have hired Annette since 2009. She represented us in a very nasty family dispute and thankfully it was settled out of court. We most strongly recommend Annette.
