A consummate professional who guided us through a complex malpractice claim

When our small engineering firm faced a professional malpractice lawsuit, we turned to Rick Heifetz at Melick & Porter. His deep experience in defending professionals was immediately evident. Rick meticulously dissected the plaintiff's claims, provided clear strategic counsel, and his reputation in the field lent significant credibility to our defense. He secured a dismissal before trial, saving us immense time and expense. Rick’s direct, no-nonsense approach from his decades of practice since 1978 was exactly what we needed. I recommend him without reservation for any complex litigation matter.
