Kristopher Heaton

Lakeland, FL

I spent more than seven years as a prosecutor getting justice for the citizens of Polk County. At Burnetti, P.A., I use the same skills and determination to help make sure insurance companies give you just compensation for your loss. Attorney Heaton has always been driven by a desire to help others. In his practice, he views his role as an advisor, educator, and advocate. He believes that it is not only important to provide his clients with sound advice but also to educate them so that they understand why he is giving that specific advice. He often advises his clients to be polite, open, honest, and, most importantly, themselves throughout the entire process. Whether a case is big or small, Attorney Heaton knows the outcome means everything to the client. With that in mind, he does everything he can to thoroughly prepare cases for trial and fight for a favorable outcome. Every case is unique, and Attorney Heaton believes they should be prepared as such. He knows that it is important to give every case the same amount of care and attention, as a seemingly simple case can easily become challenging and difficult. When this happens, he draws on his extensive experience to determine the value of the case and understand how the insurance company is going to respond. This puts him in a position to effectively advocate for his clients and fight for the maximum compensation they deserve.
