For nearly eight years, I worked in the public interest, advocating for the legal and human rights of Missouri’s most vulnerable people.

The practice of law should be about service above all else, and I have continued my mission to uplift those of us with the greatest need by founding Heitholt Law LLC.

My time with a federally funded not-for-profit law firm provided me with a wealth of experience and connected me to a broad range of communities, all with their unique perspectives, challenges, and abilities. While the legal issues were diverse, all of my work was motivated by a singular mission to take action against oppression, exploitation, and abuse. I served my clients by securing desperately needed benefits, restoring individual rights lost to guardianship, and preventing irreparable financial and physical harms.

In 2015, I graduated cum laude from Saint Louis University School of Law, and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2008. I earned a position on the editorial board of the Saint Louis University Law Journal, which published my note, Meramec River Killing, in 2015. For almost three years prior to law school, I worked at Pima County Superior Court in Tucson, Arizona, as a courtroom clerk.

I am a member in good standing of the Missouri Bar, and I am admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
