Company Profile

In the legal profession, with all of the smoke and mirrors blurring the attorney selection process, it is not easy to set yourself apart without turning to razzle-dazzle rather than focusing on substance, outcomes, and most importantly, the people you serve. When we founded Heit Law Group, we wanted to change the way people felt when maneuvering through the legal system. We don’t just listen to you; we hear you. Heit Law Group is a Millennial firm with a Baby Boomer attitude. While we use technology to benefit our clients, we understand that the best results stem from true empathy, direct communication, and old-fashioned hard work.
