Absolutely Amazing and Truly a Godsend!

I honestly can not say enough good about Peter R. Heyne. He regularly went above and beyond, to ensure the safety of my child, as well as myself. My child, as well as myself, were victims of mental, emotional, and physical abuse. The abuser was very manipulative and convincing, as most abusers a...re, and he had a very well known lawyer in the area, but Peter Heyne saw through the facade of the abuser and fought to keep us safe and free from harm. I truly owe my child's health of body, mind, and spirit, to Peter Heyne. Peter got to the bottom of the reality of what had happened, and what would continue to happen, if the court system turned their heads from my child. Peter Heyne thinks outside the box, is intelligent, committed, involved, diligent, knowledgeable, caring, honest, and true to the core, and most importantly, fights for what is right and good. Peter Heyne won my case for me, and even if I hadn't won, I could have walked away knowing that he fought tooth and nail until the very end. Peter visited and exhausted every possible avenue to prove the truth and ensure safety for my family. I recommend Peter Heyne to anyone who is searching for a lawyer who will fight for them, who is persistent, and who truly cares about his clients.

Great Lawyer

Peter was dedicated to my legal issues. He was empathetic to my situation and worked diligently to ensure I had the best possible outcome. He answered every question and concern I had, and kept me well informed and updated on what he was striving to achieve for. He also let me know best and worst ou...tcome. Definately recommend this lawyer, absolute best decision I made. He won my case and my legal issues are over. He went above and beyond his call.

Peter R. Heyne. Best attorney in the galaxy....

I had gotten in trouble for a very minor offense. For whatever reason I was set up to be made an example of. I had gotten assigned attorney Heyne and everything got better from there. He listened to my side of everything and never judged. He actually cared and didn't dismiss my case or put forth a la...ck-luster effort. Very friendly and intelligent. Made me feel a lot better about everything . If you don't choose Attourney Peter R. Heyne. You're a fool.

highly recommended!!!!!

Peter heyne is a very good attorney. He is very helpful, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable in his work. Everytime I tryed to get ahold of him he answered me back within 5 minutes. He made me feel much better about my case and helped me make the best decisions. In court I noticed all the other attor...neys looking unprepared and Peter had everything prepared in order and spoke in a very professional manner. He helped me with not getting any probation and dropped my felony and only have to sit a small time in jail which was way better then what they first offered me. I would hire him again if I needed him for anything else!!!
