Thomas Hegeman ESQ

We had won bimonthly visitation to have our granddaughter spend Saturday noon to Sunday noon at our home with our initial visitation hearing with a different lawyer My husband and I retained Mr. Hegman to represent us in family court to modify our visitation to add extra time with our eldest granddaughter. Our daughter and her now husband violated visitation with our younger granddaughter. Mr. Hegeman led us to believe we had a very good chance of succeeding in family court. I worked very hard to prepare for our trial by printing out all text messages between myself and the respondents, I prepared several pages of notes for Mr Hegeman with dates, times, and statements from witnesses to prove that the respondents lied on several occasions regarding visitation.He told me that I was one of his most organized clients. Mr. Hegeman did not spend time with us before the trial started to prepare for the trial to discuss our strategy. Instead he was called to work a pro Bono case which delayed our court appearance. During the trial Mr Hegeman would not listen to our concerns while the respondents gave their testimony, and didn't acknowledge what we wrote on the pad of paper he provided during the trial. When the respondents lawyer was trying his best to damage my character, Mr. Hegeman could have referred to my 200 plus pages of text messages that would support my side of the story. We lost our bimonthly visitation with our granddaughter because Mr. Hegeman didn't do the job we hired him to do Mr Hegeman didn't even have the decency to contact us with the judges decision but merely sent me an email!!!! I called him distraught and crying about all we had lost. He had no remorse and told me to have a nice day!!!!! I'm sure he will probably remove my review! Mr. Hegeman why don't you try explaining to our granddaughter why she can't visit with Nanna and Pop-Pop anymore, when she's crying on the phone because she misses us!!!!

Thomas Hegeman has represented me in two separate issues. Both times he has been exceptionally understanding and professional, and so were any other persons I've had the pleasure of meeting at his office. Each time, I felt confidant that all of my concerns were heard and addressed. I cannot recommend this office/person enough! :)

My wife and I recently had the most positive experience possible when Mr. Thomas Hegeman represented us in a legal matter relating to Guardianship of our Grandson. He was professionally aggressive on our behalf over a rather lengthy process and completely honest with us as far as what might be the outcome in the proceeding. The single question he asked at our first meeting with him was "what do you want achieve in this matter", we told him, he delivered. If anyone needs legal counsel or representation I would 100% recommend Mr. Hegeman, he's outstanding.

Mr. Hegeman is a true gentleman, yet he is also a true warrior - fighting for the rights of his clients. He will provide a realistic assessment of the various options a client has, and will not instill false hope or unrealistic expectations. Once a realistic set of goals have been established between the client and attorney, he will have an excellent chance of meeting those goals and expectations when dealing with the opposition. The worst thing about being a client is to take chances and have a 'let's see what happens' attitude, leaving decisions that will affect the rest of your life (and your loved ones) to strangers. Mr. Hegeman takes great pains NOT to take those chances. Mr. Hegeman is an expert at behind-the-scenes negotiation, so the client has a very good chance of knowing the outcome days or weeks in advance of the actual face-to-face with the opposition. Believe me, that is the way to hire a lawyer - one who will keep you out of the most stressful situations entirely. It's not like TV, and never has been. Mr. Hegeman is not dramatic, nor a fast-talker, or anything associated with the dramatic side of the law. He is an understated gentleman who you will have great confidence in.

Mr Hegeman was very professional and very helpful. I had to use him twice in one year and he was extremely efficient and resolved my two cases in a timely manner. On top of that, he even returned some of my money because he resolved things so quickly. I highly recommend Mr. Hegeman.
