Thank you for visiting my Avvo profile.
I am an attorney as well as a divorced father of two young children and I specialize in all aspects of family law including divorce, child custody, child support, modifications of custody and support, paternity, legitimation, temporary protective orders, contempt of court orders, parental rights, adoption, and more.
My unique background as a single father gives me a great understanding of my clients and the challenges they face. I know what they are going through and how they feel because I've been through it, as well, and I inherently understand the necessity of being a caring, expert advocate for others going through this painful process.
I will help you get through whatever family law situation you are facing, and I'm here to protect your and your children's rights as well as help you deal with the emotional aspects of it all. I understand it firsthand, having dealt with it in my own life.
Compassionate North Atlanta Divorce Attorney
I founded Hecht Family Law to be able to help clients who are going through some of life’s toughest times, bringing to my position as an Atlanta divorce attorney an understanding of what it’s like to be in their shoes because I've also been through a divorce with children, pay child support, and have dealt with alimony and child custody issues in my own life. I'm admitted to practice in all Georgia courts (including the Georgia Appeals Court and the Georgia Supreme Court). As a loving, devoted father to two young children (a boy and a girl), I understand the sensitivities involved in helping people who need to be able to co-parent in the raising of their children for years after their marriage ends.
I make a point of being available to my clients when they need me most, even outside normal business hours, because I understand that in family law, divorce, child custody and child support matters, your needs don’t always fit within the confines of the working day. My clients receive my personal cell phone number so they may call or text me whenever I am needed-including nights and weekends! I'm passionate in my commitment to my clients, patient in helping them understand the big picture as well as the intricacies, and am an enthusiastic advocate for all who have my representation.
If you are facing a legal issue regarding divorce, child custody, child support, modification of custody, modification of child support, contempt of a court order, adoption, alimony, or any of the numerous other family law practice areas that Hecht Family Law services, please call me at or email me at. I am happy to speak with you by phone or schedule a consultation with you in my office so that I can help you undertand and deal with whatever family law issue you’re facing in a way that provides the optimal result for you.

Ed has been a friend of mine for a number of years. I have always been impressed with his courtroom litigation style (he has that innate sense of when to be aggressive and when not to be - a very special and essential quality for the trial attorney). He is also very meticulous to detail and takes his clients issues to heart. I endorse this attorney and am confident each of his clients will be very well represented.

Ed is a valued member of the family law community with a good reputation who has the courage to fight for his clients.

Outstanding lawyer I'd happily refer my friends and family to.

Attorney Hecht and I shared classes in law school. During this time I observed his hard-working character and kindness. He is a gifted artist and contributed art work to auctions to raise money for public interest law. I have no doubt that this same good spirit and dedication has continued in his law practice. You will surely encounter a caring attorney, who carefully considers your needs in Attorney Hecht. I endorse him without reservation.

Ed is a very capable lawyer who has the experience and knowledge to provide the very best representation for his clients. I am happy to endorse him.

Ed is a passionate attorney who cares greatly for his clients. He also has an entrepreneurial spirit, and his client-focused business practices are a refreshing change to traditional law firm models. I have known Ed since we were classmates in the Georgia State program, both of us coming from previous careers as entrepreneurs. He has been a great source of advice on family law and a model for how to practice law in the 21st century.

I see Ed's answers here on AVVO and they display both good legal knowledge and good common sense, traits you want to see when you hire a lawyer.

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Hecht provides his time and knowledge in an effort to help others resolve their legal issues. He is very knowledgeable and ready to help clients in any way he can.
