I would highly recommend him for someone who will defend and speak up for your rights while maintaining a professional demeanor to all parties.

D. Crevenston, Google My BusinessMr. Heidt was personable, articulate and a good listener. He provided practical advice. Within the first 10 minutes of my visit it was clear my case was not going to make either of us rich. What I found remarkable about Mr. Heidt is that he continued to counsel me for more than 30 minutes giving me the opportunity to ask more questions to ensure I left his office fully informed. There is no question he knows the law, but what makes him particularly exceptional is that he cared about my circumstances.
