Schklar & Heim, LLC – Atlanta, GA

Elite Business Litigation Boutique in Buckhead

Big Firm Results, Small Firm Efficiency

Schklar & Heim, LLC is a distinguished civil litigation firm located in the Buckhead district of Atlanta. Founded in 2003 by Edwin J. Schklar and Maggie M. Heim, the firm was established to provide a superior alternative to large, impersonal law firms. Both founders bring exceptional credentials to the table: Edwin Schklar is a former federal prosecutor and partner at one of the world’s largest law firms, while Maggie Heim is a highly respected litigator with decades of experience. Together, they have created a boutique practice that handles complex, high-stakes disputes with the precision and aggression typically found only in the biggest firms, but with a level of personal attention and cost-efficiency that those firms cannot match. Their motto is to provide ‘Big Firm Quality at Boutique Firm Prices.’

The firm specializes exclusively in civil litigation, with a focus on business disputes and legal malpractice. They are known for their willingness to take cases to trial, a trait that sets them apart in an era where many lawyers push for early settlements. Schklar & Heim represents a diverse clientele, ranging from large corporations and small businesses to individuals involved in significant financial disputes. Whether it is a breach of contract case, a partnership breakup, or a claim against a negligent attorney, the team prepares meticulously for every stage of litigation. Their office in the Resurgens Plaza offers a sophisticated base of operations for their work across the state and federal courts of Georgia.
