Heins Employment Law Practice LLC

Janet Heins helped me with invaluable expert legal advice over the telephone FOR FREE. She listened intently and empathetically. She expressed genuine concern. Her wise counsel during that 15 minute phone call made all the difference in the world with my situation and I will be forever grateful. To hwdS

I had Hein Law Firm represent me in 2012 against a large property management firm in milwaukee. I did work with Janet at the beginning and the end and a newer atty. in between. It did settle out of court rather quickly but because of a law the company I sued exercised and I wish I would have been told about but in general I was happy. My calls were returned, and my settlement was paid out with in a week of signing papers. At the final consult they took there time explaining everything to me. Matter of fact the reason I fell apon this is because I was looking up the number for my mother because she is going thru something at work. I would recommend

Janet is currently (2/13/17 and ongoing) being investigated by the Office for Lawyer Regulation. I have heard nothing but bad things. Find a different attorney.

Horrible. I had a case with HEIN she stopped seeing me and had me talk to her young assistant mean guy fresh out of college for the rest of my case. All she would do is then sit at her desk eating donuts. He was mean and bad. They just took me for a ride with my money. After my case was closed, I got a letter saying hundreds of dollars MORE that I owe them. Bull charges like $75 for each phone call, $25 for each paper printed etc. Stuff they, I KNOW, they didn't do but yeah, save your $, DO NOT SEE THEM. THEY ARE RIPOFFS AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. TRUST ME, FORMER PERSON WHO WORKED WITH THEM.

The WORST attorney I have ever encountered, and I know hundreds. I cannot express enough how unethical and lazy she is. In three years, Janet did not even manage to depose one witness in our case. She cannot respond to an email in under two weeks or answer a direct question...and she sneaks a clause in her contract about a non-refundable upfront fee that she keeps for doing absolutely nothing. Those are unenforceable, according to my attorney I am using to sue her for malpractice, unless she can genuinely prove she "earned" it, which of course she did not. Don't just stop and writing a bad review on Janet. At least file a complaint with the WI Bar. I am organizing a class action against her as we speak. Please find me and contact me if you think Janet has ripped you off. She must be stopped.

Our settlement check is late more months than not. This month had to call again two days ago and still nothing. Secretary forgot to mail it out and when I asked to drive an hour to pick it up like we've done several times before when they forget to mail it I was told no I can leave Janet a voicemail....I can't even talk to her secretary only her secretary's secretary to get an answer as to why I can't pick it up. Just a relayed message saying she's new... Well turns out calling three days ago the secretary "forgot" to mail it and it's a week late and I offered to drive the hour and half to pick it up unfortunately we've had to do this multiple times when they forget and it gets to be almost a month late and I was told she'd be back in the office then no she wouldn't for the day and it's locked in there so try to pick up the second day and nope go figure bow supposedly the check didn't clear but will on Monday. (It's Friday) A. Why wasn't that said when the secretary said she would mail it three days ago or at all? I would think that's a problem! B. She's also psychic because she knows it'll clear Monday. From the record of carelessness from an attorney who represents people who've obviously lost jobs unlawfully and are digging out of a hole and overdue bills and a two year old every month having to be reminded on top of auto deposit that was never set up after promising several months of how am I not to believe she's doing this on purpose. Especially with the apology from her secretary with a sigh and irritating demeanor like I'm an inconvenience and in Janet's words. That's all I can do. Sorry. Not I apologize for once again ruining your credit due to our office moving(down the hall by the way)
