Thereafter she attended John Marshall Law School in Chicago and received her Juris Doctor degree in 1995. For a period of three years, Dr. von Heimburg served as an attorney with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, specializing in licensing and regulatory matters affecting dentists.
