James Otto Heiting​​​ Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Riverside, CA, August 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​James Otto Heiting​​​, Managing Partner, Heiting & Irwin, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Heiting​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer​™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Mr. Heiting​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Western State University and his Juris Doctor from the Western State University College of Law. He has received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including being named a “Super Lawyer” by Thomson Reuters, an AV Preeminent attorney by ​Martindale-Hubbell®, and receiving a “Superb” rating from Avvo, among many others.

"The legislatures in all the states have become increasingly conservative in their approach toward personal injury cases. There is more encouragement toward different methods other than jury trials of resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. There are limitations on damages in medical malpractice cases that weren't in existence when I first started. Thankfully any attempts to put limitations on other cases have been defeated, at least in California. There have been a lot of changes in that way, but fortunately most of the rights of the injured parties have been maintained."

With 40 years dedicated to law, Mr. Heiting​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, personal injury law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Heiting​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ said:

"In my second year of college, my family needed to hire a lawyer and we thought that our whole world revolved around whatever this lawyer did in any particular instance. I didn’t and don’t believe that he cared. He also wasn’t very communicative, so he left us in the dark with a lot of fear as to what was going to happen to our lives and our future. It was then that I thought I could do a better job than he was doing, and that’s what inspired me to pursue law."

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Heiting is widely recognized as an intellectual authority in personal injury law and more broadly in civil litigation matters. He has been an invited speaker, lecturer and panelist for the State Bar, law schools, trial advocacy organizations, and a variety of legal and community organizations, and was also a co-founder of the Leo A. Deegan Inn of Court where he trained younger or less experienced members of the bar.

This prominent position in the field allows Mr. Heiting to keep a watchful eye on prevailing trends and changes in personal injury law. In particular, he is paying close attention to what he remarks has been a shift in the legislative climate regarding personal injury cases. He noted:

"The legislatures in all the states have become increasingly conservative in their approach toward personal injury cases. There is more encouragement toward different methods other than jury trials of resolution, such as mediation and arbitration. There are limitations on damages in medical malpractice cases that weren't in existence when I first started. Thankfully any attempts to put limitations on other cases have been defeated, at least in California. There have been a lot of changes in that way, but fortunately most of the rights of the injured parties have been maintained."

Mr. Heiting​​​​ is a Past President of the State Bar of California and the Riverside County Bar, and a member of the American Bar Association and of the Board of Governors of the State Bar of California. He is also a Charter Member of the Inland Empire Federal Bar Association.
