Carson kept at the prosecution who refused at first to abide by their own laws. After Carson educated them they eventually dropped their claim at jail time and were forced to give me probation. After probation I will have a clean record again thanks to Carson. Very easy to talk to and not scared to go to trial.

Carson reviewed my case and discussed all the facts and options about my case. He really took an interest in wanting to win, not just for his reputation but for my best interest as well. He is well educated in the different aspects and possible outcomes to my case I was extremely comfortable relying on his suggestions.

Carson handled my case with precision and care. He knew what was at stake for me as a professional and also made me aware of the each possibility that we were presented with by the prosecution. Without Carson I probably would have taken an unfavorable deal but with his advise I received a better deal!

I found myself in a bit of trouble again with a 3rd DWI and a drug charge and I had no idea where to turn. I spoke with my attorney I used for my custody of my kids and she recommended me to Carson Heefner. He answered my call from jail close to midnight on a Saturday night. Right away he went to work and didn't stop fight for me. Even now he still gives me advice when I call. I was looking at 2 years imprisonment and a 6000.00 dollar fine. I ended up walking out with no jail time and a 1500.00 dollar fine give or take. He also managed to get my drug charge completely dismissed. I plan on hiring him again to try and get some old things off of my record and I have no doubt in my mind that he will work night and day for me. His rates are very very reasonable. I'm a single father of 2 and have pretty high rent and he worked with me every step of the way. Carson Heefner honestly gave me my life back when I was about to lose everything.

Over the span of several years I have come to trust the advice of one criminal defense attorney, Carson Heefner. He has provided thoughtful and timely advice across a number of scenarios that have proven to be the difference between potentially criminal acts and remaining on the right side of the law. From advising on how to manage situations that involved the potential for self incrimination to avoiding unnecessary statements to law enforcement he has kept family and friends from making serious mistakes that would ya e negatively impacted our lives and could have carried consequences upto and including incarceration. He is a savvy negotiator who knows how to get the best outcome for his clients often resulting in little or no fine when a lesser attorney would have foregone the initial consultation preferring to put a minimum of effort in to the routine and common at the expense of the small guy. I can’t recommend Mr. Heefner highly enough to seek advice in the avoidance or penalty and I would certainly recommend him in the event something we’re to require a competent trial attorney.

Received very helpful and honest advice from Carson James Heefner. He even told me I did not need to hire him for my personal legal issue, and advised me what would likely happen, and at no charge. If I do wind up needing a lawyer for this case it will certainly be Carson!
