Criminal Investigations and Civil Litigation

Public Safety Labor Representation

Heidi’s diverse background, with extensive experience in both criminal law and civil litigation, makes her uniquely qualified to represent police officers and police unions. She is proud to serve as counsel to the International Union of Police Association’s chapters in the City of Alexandria and at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. The City of Alexandria, where Heidi lives and works, is poised to become the first locality to pass a collective bargaining ordinance.

Animal Law Attorney

Our four-legged friends have a mind of their own. We can see it in their personalities, their habits, and their displays of affection. However, our cats, dogs, and other companion animals can’t speak for themselves when it comes to legal issues.

At the Law Office of Heidi Meinzer, PLLC, I understand the complicated issues that animal law presents. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Certified Nose Work Instructor, I am also uniquely familiar with interactions between humans and animal.

I am capable of serving a multitude of animal law needs, including appeals, litigation, and dispute resolution. I work alongside behaviorists, positive reinforcement trainers, local rescues and shelters, and businesses in the pet care industry. This wide network has given me access to many facets of animal law, a breadth of experience I apply to each and every case I handle.

If you have an animal law issue affecting your life, or the life a furry friend, contact me at the Law Office of Heidi Meinzer, PLLC in Alexandria, Virginia, today.

Dog Bite Defense Lawyer

A dog bites for a variety of reasons. Your typically friendly companion may have been provoked, felt threatened, or responding to pain.

I understand the difficult circumstances a dog bite can impose on an owner—sometimes going as far as to the court system. The opposing party may want your dog detained—or possibly even euthanized.

This is extremely frightening, as your dog is a member of your family. You can’t bear the thought of parting ways under such unexpected circumstances—you may possibly even be under the impression that the bite was justifiable, given the situation.

You know your friend is a not a “dangerous dog” at heart—but are uncertain what legal actions can protect him or her.

That’s where I come in. As a dog trainer myself, I understand the behaviors—both the tendencies and anomalies—that canines exhibit. I can help you and your family exercise your right to protect your dog’s freedom.

If your dog has been accused of biting or attacking a child, adult, cat, or another dog, contact me at my Alexandria animal law office today. I can help guide you through this difficult time, applying my experience as a legal professional, CPDT-KA, and CNWI.

Your dog deserves a voice. Allow the Law Office of Heidi Meinzer, PLLC to help you and your canine friend today.
