I was referred to Joel from a friend. After speaking with a few other attorneys and then talking with Joel I knew right away I had my Lawyer. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. He worked with me on a 4th degree dwi, we went in and I walked away very happy with my outcome, Dropped down to careless driving. I would highly recommend working with Joel for any criminal, dwi/dui, traffic, personal injury, auto accident case.
Made a horrible DUI situation more than tolerable. Did a fantastic job getting through this incredibly difficult time.
I was facing a life altering disaster in the form of a DUI. As a professional, this would have ruined my career effectively causing a potential loss of home, cars and the ability to care for my family. Joel understood this and understood that, in his words, "I made a mistake". Not only did he assuage my family's fears, he managed to have the DUI dismissed and in place I recieved a charge of careless driving. I would recommend him to anyone that has made a mistake and is looking to get on with their life. Thank you Joel.
I had a family member who received a DWI after he crashed his car in a 1 car accident~ we contacted Joel after talking to a friend who had also used Joel's services and we were so unbelievably grateful we hired him for representation as this was a very scary, embarrassing and shameful event and did not know what to expect etc~ he took our call immediately and on first call, advised us how he was going to handle our case, what we should expect and what we needed to do to prepare~ he was in constant communication even on weekends and nights, he made us feel as we were his #1 priority and helped make us feel at ease through this shameful scary process~ once my family member finally went to his court date, Joel was able to negotiate a lesser sentence and my family member was able to keep his job, regain his driving privilege immediately and put this ugly issue behind him~ Joel was just amazing and on top of this issue every single step of the way and I would absolutely recommend him to ANYONE who has the unfortunate even of a DWI/DUI~ to know you have Joel by your side will not only help you feel you have the best lawyer, but he will also help you receive the most least sentience possible as he did NOT miss a beat!
Mr. Heiligman defended me against serious drug charges that had the potential of years in prison. Through his hard work, professionalism and compassion, he helped me through this crisis and I received probation and a short period of EHM. A good man, not just a good attorney. Thank you Joel.
My first call to Joel was from jail, feeling completely helpless as I had just been arrested for my first DWI, and had no idea what to do. Joel assured me he was the guy to take care of this charge for me, and gave me pointers right away on what to do and not do. Afterwards, I easily relied on Joel to help answer all my questions and concerns, even on weekends and holidays. After months waiting for my court date to arrive, Joel represented me the entire time in court. He was able to reduce my charge from DWI to careless driving, even in Anoka county, which is known to be one of the more strict county's. I cannot thank Joel enough for his hard work handling my case, representing me in court and speaking on behalf of me in front of the judge, and really helping subside my stress and worries. I highly recommend Joel as an attorney, he's the best!
This man has helped me out so much and was extremely knowledgeable about everything i was going through. He works extremely hard and makes sure to get the best results for you. Every single question I had he answered in full, and more. He helped me feel a whole lot more calm on a very nerve wracking day. My DUI case had a dangerously high PBT ( Field Breath Test ) over double what was considered over the limit. Joel told me exactly what my first steps were to be, where to go and how. This man brought my charges down to a literal slap on the wrist. I could not thank Joel enough for his hard work and dedication on my case.
I was arrested and charged with DWI and fleeing a peace officer. Joel worked to get me out on bond as soon as possible and was a great resource throughout my ordeal. He was able to work on my behalf to get the DWI charge reduced and a stay on the charge of fleeing police. With his advice and knowledge of the system, I was able to get through this troublesome episode and move forward with my life. I would highly recommended Joel to anyone in a similar situation.
Joel is very professional and affordable. He was very helpful in my case. He was able to get my charges dropped from a gross misdemeanor to a misdemeanor and kept me out of jail.
He went through my case very well. Although I had gleam outcome he polished my offense to lender very good outcome for what I had done. Will recommend him anytime to your troubles. He has fatherly advice too legal issues.
