He also practiced in Massachusetts, where he was Chairman of the Estate Planning Committee of the Massachusetts Bar Association, and in Tennessee, where he was the founder and first Chairman of the Nashville Bar Association’s Estate Planning Committee and where he served as President of the Middle Tennessee Planned Giving Council (1997). Although recently retired from the active practive of law, during his 25-year career he was a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), an ACTEC Fellow—the highest designation for trust and estate attorneys in the U.S. —and was AV®-rated by Martindale-Hubbell®, the country's preeminent lawyer rating service.
Attorney Heiser has been a frequent seminar leader and participant in the areas of estate and gift tax, charitable gifts and trusts, Medicaid eligibility planning, and sophisticated estate planning. He has taught as a member of the Adjunct Faculty of the College for Financial Planning at David Lipscomb University, as an instructor in Estate Planning Law (1996-1998), and has been certified as an Estate Planning Law Specialist by The Estate Law Specialist Board, Inc., the only American Bar Association-accredited program for certification of an attorney as an estate planning specialist.
Fellow: American College of Trust and
Estate Counsel (ACTEC). Being elected to ACTEC
is one of the highest honors an estate
planning attorney can receive. ACTEC is a
non-profit association composed of
approximately 2,600 of the most accomplished
estate planning practitioners in the United
States and Canada. A lawyer cannot apply for
membership in the College; Fellows of the
College are nominated by other Fellows in
their geographic area and are elected by the
membership at large. To qualify for
membership, a lawyer must have at least 10
years of experience in the active practice of
probate and trust law or estate planning.
Lawyers and law professors are elected to be
Fellows by the other members, based on their
outstanding professional reputation,
exceptional skill, and substantial
contributions to the field by lecturing,
writing, teaching, and participating in bar
activities.
AV® rated: Attorney Heiser is proud
to have received an AV® rating from
Martindale-Hubbell®, the country’s
preeminent lawyer rating service. An AV® rating
signifies a firm that has “achieved the
highest levels of professional skill and
integrity.” His AV® rating is based on peer
reviews by members of the Bar and Judiciary.
That means that the lawyers and judges with
whom he has worked closely feel that he is
among the best in the business not only for
his legal skills, but also for his honesty,
integrity and ethics.
