Testimonials
“Mr. Heller handled a very important case for my company. He saved us significant time, money and the deal. He was recommended by our corporate lawyer, who said he was terrific, and our corporate lawyer was 100% correct. Mr. Heller quickly analyzed the issues, and recommended a business solution to the problem. He then solved the problem. I would only have Mr. Heller handle litigation for our company and any personal litigation I hope I never have. I just recommended Mr. Heller to a very close friend of mine.”
