Heartland Law Office: Criminal & DUI Defense Lawyer, Family Attorney

Patrick is a absolute joke when it comes to family law pratice. You would get better advice from a goldfish. This man wasn't even my attorney. Me and my attorney won against him. We knew we were going to win 10 minutes into a hour court hearing because of how much he was making the judge irresistibly mad and all the times the judge would have to tell him to quit talking and interrupting our hearing. He gave the advice that I shouldn't see my child until a court hearing, I didn't get to see my son for 33 days because of Patrick's advice to my very abusive baby dad and when the hearing started he tried to reschedule the hearing which would have pushed back seeing my child further. This man should find a job at Walmart where he would probably be better off so he's not giving people legal family advice. Zero stars patrick.

I recently found myself in a terrifying situation after being charged with a serious criminal offense in Stutsman County, North Dakota. As a first-time offender, I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to turn. That's when I discovered Heartland Law Office, led by Attorney Patrick Waters, and it was the best decision I could have made. From the very first consultation, Patrick was incredibly professional, empathetic, and straightforward. He took the time to explain the entire legal process in simple terms, without any jargon, and outlined a clear defense strategy tailored to my case. Unlike some lawyers who just push for quick pleas, Patrick was aggressive in fighting for my rights--he scrutinized every detail of the evidence, challenged procedural errors, and built a rock-solid defense that ultimately led to the charges being reduced .What impressed me most was his dedication. He was always available for calls or emails, even on weekends, and kept me updated every step of the way. The office staff was equally supportive, making what could have been a nightmare into a manageable experience. Patrick's background as a founder of the firm since 2019 shows in his commitment to clients; he's not just in it for the billable hours--he genuinely cares about justice.If you're facing criminal charges, don't hesitate to contact Heartland Law Office. They turned a dark chapter in my life into a victory, and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Five stars all the way! Thanks Patrick Brian

I cannot say enough good things about Heartland Law Office and attorney Patrick Waters. If you're facing DUI charges anywhere in North Dakota--especially in places like Minot or Williston--stop searching and call Patrick immediately. He is the real deal. I was facing DUI charges in both Minot and Williston, and I was terrified of how this could impact my future, my career, and my ability to drive. But thanks to Patrick's legal expertise, tireless work ethic, and strategic defense, he was able to get both of my DUI charges completely dismissed. Yes--dismissed. From the first consultation, Patrick treated me like more than just a case number. He was straightforward and honest about my situation, yet reassuring and extremely knowledgeable. He explained every part of the legal process in detail so that I felt informed and prepared. I had spoken with other attorneys in the area before finding Patrick, but no one came close to his level of professionalism, confidence, and courtroom experience. Patrick knew exactly how to challenge the DUI evidence against me. He found weaknesses in the prosecution's case that I never would have noticed--flaws in the traffic stop, procedural errors with the field sobriety tests, and issues with how the breathalyzer was handled. In both counties, he built a strong defense and fought aggressively on my behalf. His courtroom presence was calm, collected, and persuasive--exactly what you want in a criminal defense lawyer. What truly sets Patrick apart is that he's not just a great attorney--he's a great person. He was always available when I had questions, and I never once felt like I was being ignored or left in the dark. He kept me updated every step of the way and was incredibly responsive and compassionate during one of the most stressful times of my life. I highly recommend Heartland Law Office to anyone needing a DUI lawyer or criminal defense attorney in North Dakota. Whether you're in Minot, Williston, Bismarck, Dickinson, or anywhere else in the state, you will not find better representation than Patrick Waters. He is skilled, strategic, and genuinely cares about getting the best possible outcome for his clients. If you're searching for a lawyer near you because of a DUI or criminal charge, trust me--you'll be glad you chose Patrick. He saved my record, my license, and my future. I'll be forever grateful.
