If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. Mr. Heier became my attorney for a custody dispute when my previous one decided last minute he could no longer work for me due to a new job offer in another city. I was scared and had just a couple of days to find another attorney before my first court date, and I am so thankful that I found Mr. Heier. David has worked so hard to help me gain residency of my children when we knew it would be an uphill battle. Mr. Heier has been our calm in what has been a stormy year and a half of litigation, and has gone above and beyond what any attorney will or would do. He is compassionate about his clients and their cases. We never had an issue being able to get ahold of him when we had an issue or question as he promptly returned all of our phone calls, emails, and texts messages. He worked tirelessly to make sure that our new Custody Order was drafted quickly and signed within a matter of days. I would highly recommend him.

David was amazing! I couldn't say that enough. He definitely showed passion and respect for not only me during my case but my child. He was very professional and outgoing. Always had time to email me and take my phone calls when I needed him. He managed to stay focused and on point even when I started to wonder. As a result my case was decided in my favor and I couldn't have been happier. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I would also rehire him if ever needed in the future

David was excellent in dealing with my case. He is very straight forward and to the point where most attorneys I feel would go on a tangent. He made sure we stayed on point and focused. As a result we were able to win our case and granted what we wanted. He was very professional both inside and outside of the court room. Always being able to take phone calls and emails and always being able to be there when I needed him. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who asked about attorneys. I would absolutely rehire him if I could for another case.

Mr. Heier is very knowledgeable in Family Law and truly cares about his clients outcome. Mr. Heier responded to my concerns even evenings and weekends.

I hired David to be my attorney in May 2016 for the amount of $5,000.00 paid to him. At this time he was to represent me in my divorce and help with custody and the money my husband owed to me. In the beginning David seemed distracted and not completely up for the job, but I had paid him and decided to give him a chance. At one court date back in October he seemed very confident and told me that the case was going to trial and I needed to give him another $6,000 to finish up through trial. His optimism that I would be getting more than what I even asked for and that there shouldn't be a problem getting residential custody of my girls I paid him. Later on he proved to be completely incompetent and revoked his previous assumption that I would be getting custody or even the money that was supposed to be proven to be mine. The last straw(s) were him not telling me that the court date had been changed and it ended up being the day of my Gramma's funeral. He said he would take care of it and not to worry and go to the funeral. Later after court he called to tell me that I will NOT be getting residential custody of my kids and that I should just let it go and focus on the money part of it. He said that I "needed to be realistic and that I have emotional issues" after I started crying that he wasn't doing his job. Then, two days later I found out from my ex that David didn't even show up to court that day and they had to phone him to conference him in! He never told me he wasn't going to go and that the decision made that day was probably because I didn't have anyone there to fight my side. So I fired him assuming I would get most if not all of the $6,000 I had given him a month ago and could hire a new attorney. He refuses to give me any money back and says I owed him for past expenses. I NEVER ever received a bill for anything. It says in the contract that he will provide me with an itemized statement of charges not less than every 60 days. I never got one. Plus he had told me the $6,000 was to prepare for and go to trial set in February. David never advised me that the children would have their own attorney, and that I would need to speak to her, so meeting her for the first time during a court date was a surprise for me. An even bigger surprise was that she had been speaking with my ex-husband right along and never contacted me because she didn't get permission from David to do so. The entire time she was in the picture and I was unaware she was only hearing the lies my ex was spewing about me and never followed up to hear my side. Finally, after trying to contact her myself she called me 3 days before the NEXT court date and spoke with me for 10 minutes. I was able to disprove a few allegations my husband was making, but that didn't seem good enough for judgement were made before ever even seeing me. I finally demanded an itemized statement of charges because he said he wasn't going to give me my money back and when I picked it up from his office saw that he was charging me for every phone call, every email and $250 ONE way to court, so $500 a trip to court plus court time. The phone calls, I would call him to ask what time court was and he would tell me he didn't know and would call the court to find out and call me back. Then charge me for 3 phone calls at 10 min each. And his retainer I signed said in increments of min 6 minutes. It does not say amount of money per mile or amount of time spent reading emails. He took $11,000 of my money, didn't follow through with anything, didn't let me know about important changes in court appearances, added law guardians, didn't show up to a court date, never sent me a bill, overcharged for just about everything, told me the last $6,000 was for trial, and was not adequately representing me in any way. He is thoughtless and unprofessional and took advantage of an emotional mother going though the hardest point in her life fighting for her children.

I had to hire David due to a conflict of interest with my own attorney. He helped me win my case with his excellent negotiating skills, assertiveness and years of experience in family law. He knew my best interests, what my desired outcome was, and what my strong and weak points were as far as arguments. He put it all together and we came out on top and the other party settled in our favor. As far as the previous review on David - why would you expect him to continue to work for you when you stopped paying your bill? Would you go to work if you knew you weren't going to get paid? Meet your obligation and maybe someone will put forth an honest effort for you. You also stated he didn't have much to go on. Why are you going to court without any factual ammunition? Your review sounds ridiculous. David's retainer is reasonable if you're serious about winning your case. You get what you pay for in my opinion. He did a great job for me is all I can say and I will hire him again in a second if I need to.

Mr,David Scott Heier. He's very loyal and hard working person.. I’m very pleased and cannot express my gratitude in words to you .However I have my words in few lines & Thank you for all your efforts for fighting my case & letting me win my case. Mr, David Heier You done a great job for me & my family.I m very very highly recommend Mr,David Heier. & my many blessings for you. God bless you :)

David responded immediately to all my questions and was very patient. He has a kind mannor and his sense of humor at just the right time helped me to keep my composure and push forward through a difficult time in my life. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Heier is so impressive that when he took my daughters case I was no longer concern that justice would be served. He truly knows the law and can handle himself very, very well in the court room. My daughter could not have had a better attorney representing her, he always looked for fairness for both parties and always consider the childs best interest. My daughter went through 3 attorney's before hiring Mr. Heier and due to their lack of experience this case has cost her a pretty penny, so 2 years later we found the RIGHT man to represent her. It has been 1 1/2 year now that he has worked for her and he has truly been God sent. Overall Mr. Heier is a class act attorney that knows the law and that is important to have that kind of representation in the court room. We as a family could not have asked for a better attorney. Thank you!

I needed an attorney to help me retain my rights as a Father. This was the 2nd time there was a need to do so during my 12 years as a Dad. I feverishly searched for an attorney, and had many consultations prior to deciding on Mr. Heier. Initially, I found David to be very pleasant, with a level of concern beyond any that I had seen in an attorney. He gave candid and objective opinions toward my situation, and a high level of hope that my daughter would remain in my life, and I in hers. Mr. Heier identified the most pertinent issues I needed to address; leaving the trivial behind. He gave practical solutions to problems I felt were so very out of control. Mr. Heier put me more at ease about the situation with my daughter than any other attorney before him. Through his stellar council, my daughter has been able to remain in the school system of her choice, and continue the friendships she has built over the years. I am also able to enjoy 50% time with my daughter, allowing us to continue building on the relationship we both so cherish. Mr. Heier retained an unwavering consciousness to my situation on a personal and financial level as his client, and as a fellow Marine. His retainer was very generous, and any subsequent fees were minimal. I was able to achieve the best results for my daughter with less of a financial burden than anticipated. Considering the experience and outcome I had with Mr. Heier, I would most definitely recommend him as council for anyone in my situation. Taking into account the professionalism and compassion he displayed throughout my case, I would have no uncertainties using him for any legal matters I may have in the future.
