About
I have been practicing law in Minnesota State and Federal courts for over 29 years. I provide my clients practical advice with an eye toward finding a cost effective and acceptable solution to their legal issues.I realize that contacting a lawyer can be a stressful time in your life fraught with uncertainty as to how the process will go, what to expect and how much it will cost. I endeavor to take the mystery out of hiring an attorney by providing you a realistic estimate of the cost of the legal services you need and the potential outcomes based upon the choices you make.My practice areas include real property law, landlord/tenant disputes, litigation, administrative law, lien foreclosures, construction law, contracts, collections, probate, wills and trusts.I contribute where I can to our community and my roots run deep here in Minnesota.I am originally from St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Growing up in Minnesota, I took every opportunity to 'go north' and enjoy our great outdoors going many times to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I even spent one cherished summer at the end of the Sawbill Trail working for an outfitter.My love for the outdoors expanded from canoe country to backpacking in the Canadian Rockies and the Canadian Coastal Range. It should be no surprise then that I attended college at Colorado State University to be closer to the mountains and the out of doors. I came back to Minnesota to attend law school and have remained here, again enjoying all that Minnesota has to offer, from biking trails to the theater, to great music, to opportunities to play ice hockey and cross country ski.

I was referred to Rebecca via LegalShield to review my first commercial lease and I am very happy with her services. She was attentive, explained key differences between commercial and residential leases, and answered all my questions. We talked through the lease after reading and she gave me several pieces of actionable advice which I incorporated into the my counter-proposal. Her rates were reasonable and I paid up front for the length document review (60+ pages) and the discussion time which was less than I had anticipated.
We had our complete estate plan done by Rebecca. She drafted our Will's, Health Care Directives, etc. She did a fantastic job. She had a nicely prepared estate planning worksheet. She then followed up with a conference call with myself and my wife. Drafts came to use timely via email and then we met to sign everything. The process was extremely seamless and worked great for our busy lives. It's hard to make time for extra meetings so Rebecca's approach was fantastic.
Rebecca reached out to me after I submitted an online inquiry regarding a landlord/tene dispute I was having. Not only did she call me the next day, she advised me on exactly what to do and even suggested some options I hadn't previously considered. I was very happy with Rebecca and will be reaching out to her again in the future.
orable action by a mistaken City department and grew to include shameful behavior of a duplicitous rental manager. Confronted by two central challenges to the good management of my property, I was very worried and far from confident of choosing a good way through the mess. Rebecca Heltzer was able to sort through the thicket of emails and events occuring over a ten-month period and grasp the essentials of the situation. She showed good judgment in suggesting modest yet crucial steps that could lead to a quicker, simpler resolution by contacting the City directly to improve relations with it and determine a good path to follow. She recommended appropriate action to take with the property manager, to call upon my rights under the contract with him. Ms Heltzer paid good attention to the numerous facets of this case, maintained the necessary perspective on the possible and the sensible ways to resolve it, and followed through on the commitments she made.
I reside in San Diego, California. I called Rebecca regarding a real estate issue I was having with my financial institution in Minnesota . She responded to my request for assistance right away and gave me information to help me make the right decision. Thank you Rebecca
I worked with Rebecca on a real estate matter and she was very professional, provided a quick turnaround on needed documents, and overall her firm delivered exceptional service!
I decided at the last minute to hire a lawyer at the suggestion of family for the condo I just purchased. It was well into the 10-day review period I had to determine everything was okay to move forward with the purchase. Both a friend lawyer and my mortgage broker recommended Rebecca as someone who was familiar with condo associations and the business of running a condo. I sent her an email on Sunday evening noting the urgency with which I needed her services and first thing Monday morning, she called me at work. After discussing what she could do to help me, I sent her the condo docs via email for her to review. She was upfront about the cost of her services and we took care of that first thing - from what I've been told, her fee fell right in line with others in our area. Rebecca gave me a timeline of when she could get back to me and she kept to that schedule. At one point, she had a question on something in the documents and asked me to find out more from the realtors and they obliged quickly. Well within the timeframe that I had to review the docs she was able to give me enough counsel for me to make an informed decision about this purchase. Finally, a last minute assessment become known and again I contacted Rebecca again on a Sunday and within the same day she responded to my email with detailed suggestions on what I could do. Everything went through just fine and I am now a happy homeowner!
Rebecca was referred to me via a colleague who had previously hired her for a real estate matter. Not only was she approachable, but more importantly she was knowledgeable, assertive, and honest. Her communication was excellent and frequent during a complex, divorce-related real estate matter, despite having a client – me- entirely unfamiliar with real estate ownership and family law. Facing a real estate legal action involves daunting personal and financial risk. If you are in need of legal counsel relating to real estate, I highly recommend Rebecca Heltzer. She will be an invaluable resource to guide and advocate for you while navigating the complexities and risks related to real estate law.
Ms. Heltzer helped my partner and I update our will - she was sensitive, responsive, extremely accurate and helped us understand the best way to accomplish our goals. I would recommend her highly, she is really great to work with.
Rebecca was professional and honest. She guided us through what was happening to us and gave us options as to what our legal rights where. After much back and forth, was able to settle our case out of court. Highly recommend!
