J. M. Heller, Attorney at Law, P.C. - Canton, Georgia

Watchful W.

I have mixed feelings about this firm, as my initial interaction with them (only with Heller himself-- name-barrer of firm) was very encouraging, positive, and what I paid for. However, the next time I retained the firm (expecting same experience) I was deeply disappointed.

My case was handled not by Heller himself but his associate John Weschler who was extremely impersonable and rude, frankly. It seemed that my case was completely ignored until the week of appearance and when I dared question plan/approach or ask for reassurance from the lawyer that I paid & trusted to handle my case, I was told "I'm not your psychiatrist" and "I won't even entertain that" as responses to why retaining the firm ultimately mattered, as I was offered the same exact deal without representation and couldn't understand what was the benefit of paying the firm if negotiation didn't happen or was poorly done.

The boil down is: save your money or retain a different firm unless you can be guaranteed to work directly with Heller. However, it's notable that as the name-barrer of the firm he didn't respond to my requests to speak to him instead of his associate, even after he understood there was complaint. It would seem as the firm owner his choice of associates or at least his care when those chosen associates destroy client trust would be greater.

So: choose a different law firm; this one is not worth your energy and money, especially if you are already stressed about legal proceedings.

John Heller is a fraud. I was promised immediate action upon sending my retainer. Instead, they ignored my case for weeks. When I contacted them to ask where my petition was… Nicholle sent an incomplete boiler plate petition. I called John Heller the following business day and he very unprofessionally told me “WE ARE DONE. You’re expressing too much urgency in your emails. We are done.” He took half my retainer fee even though he spent 0 minutes on my case. Nicholle promised me my refund, and it was never sent. You’re better off finding a different attorney to represent your case. Now I have to take John Heller to court for breaching the contract and taking unearned funds out of the retainer. Don’t let them bully you if you’re having a similar experience with this law firm. You’re entitled to your retainer back if they’ve breached your contract as well!

If you're a veteran, this is your attorney. Heller Law has to be the most caring set of experts I've ever even heard of. This firm tackles every case as a family, and you know they have your back! I can't say enough good things about every aspect of my experience. Thanks to everyone at Heller Law!

My family has worked with Kameron Keene at the Heller Law Firm and I am forever grateful to him. Not only is he a fantastic and amazingly intelligent attorney, his communication is the best of any attorney I have ever interacted with personally and professionally. If you are having a difficult time in your life, I 10/10 recommend working with Kam.

Jeff Heller & Kam Keene are a tremendous force in the courtroom. You will not find more thorough & aggressive representation. They simply perform miracles, especially in Cherokee County. Great guys to work with. They kept me informed & educated every step of the way. The results were amazing. Highly recommended. Thank you so much, gentlemen!

Communication was laughable at best. If you aren’t going to trial, I’d recommend taking a public defender over these guys, or just any other firm. They kept pushing my case back for over a year just for an arraignment. Multiple times I took off work just for them to cancel on me the day of, sometimes not even notifying me until 45+ minutes after my appointment time. Also, knowing I lived nowhere close, they didn’t catch that I was scheduled on a day court isn’t even in session, so I made a whole four hour trip for nothing. Once I was finally able to get into a court room, they showed up nearly an hour late with a backup lawyer, not reaching out once to notify me. I requested to talk to them about potentially getting at least a partial refund, and never heard from them again. Overall, they did less than nothing for me, and I regret spending the thousands I did for little to no work, and their complete lack of communication. DO NOT, give them your money. Publix defenders will do more for you than them!

My experience with this law firm was an absolute nightmare. They did nothing but lie, take my money, and commit fraud. I've never felt so powerless in my life. I cannot believe John and Nicholle made so many promises to me before they received my money and then turned around and tried to gaslight me after they got the retainer fee. They promised my case would be taken seriously, yet they treated the case with the utmost neglect after they received the payment. Now I'm struggling to retain another attorney for my emergency case... which is putting lives at risk. They knew this and they still took advantage of me when I was in one of the worst situations of my life. These people have no morals, no ethics, they'll take your money and charge you for the conversations you had with them BEFORE you hire them. They're absolutely unprofessional, unethical, and they should have their firm SHUT DOWN! They do not care about their clients, or the well-being of their clients. They care about putting money in their own pockets, and they'll say whatever they can to get you to retain them and not fulfil their word.

John, Kam, Doug, and the whole team were amazing from start to finish. I cannot say thank you enough for the hard work and dedication they provided to me. I am forever thankful them!
