Thank you, Steve Heintz

I was in an accident, I was hurting, I wanted help and Steve understood the unique situation I brought to him. The case became more unusual and I will always be impressed with Steve's attentive to me and the details of the case. He was a master at working the case for the best possible outcome. I... will always be thankful to Steve.

Professional Experienced Great team

Heintz Law and his team were on top of my case. Special thanks to his team member Deb. The amount of time and paperwork involved makes her a Rockstar. I would recommend Heintz Law and say to please call them for a consultation

An attorney you can turn to for knoledge and guidance

We hire attorneys because we are in a position of not knowing how to proceed. Steven Heintz was able to guide me through my case and provide knowledge and direction to me. I highly recommend him if you are in need of an accident attorney. You need someone who is on your side, he and his team are th...ere for you.

Outstanding Attorney

Steve Heintz is the most professional, and knowledgeable attorney in the area. He treated me with such kindness, and compassion when I needed representation. I’m so fortunate to have found him. He will be the only attorney I would ever use.

Outstanding

Outstanding Attorney!!! Injured in an accident himself, he understands the issues and doesn't put up with the insurance company's crap! He is a regular guy the jury related to and liked - He carefully built his case and crushed the other attorney. I highly recommend Steve Heintz!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
