Horrible Horrible Horrible

the worst attorney I have ever come in contact with. The unprofessionalism is astounding, he charged much more than the 'going rate' for my case and in the end it was dismissed solely due to his errors. Do Not Recommend hiring this one

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Gerald Hecht is an excellent attorney. He represented my family in a difficult legal issue. He was compassionate, intelligent and kept us informed about our case at all times. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.
