Fabulous Attorney!!

I went through a divorce with minor children after 25 years of marriage and a cheating spouse. I was referred to Ed Hecht and Hecht Family Law, and I’m so grateful for the referral because I couldn’t have gotten through this difficult time without Ed to lean on, for both the legal issues as well as... the human/personal issues that come with the ending of a marriage. Ed is a fierce advocate for his clients and knows all the intricacies of the law as well as how to negotiate against opposing counsel to make the best use of the facts of the case. He was ready to battle it out in court if needed, and because of his preparation and persuasive ability, we settled the case in mediation and I’m delighted with the outcome, which allows my ex and I to be able to continue to cooperatively coparent our children to adulthood and which also made sure I was well protected from the perspective of property and financial matters. Ed has been through this himself and his experience brings a level of care and empathy and relatability that I would not have gotten anywhere else. Please, if you are reading this, reach out to Ed and his team and let them help you through whatever family law issue you’re going through, like they did for me! Sharon H.

Great Attorney

I was referred to ED by a friend 5yrs ago, a few weeks ago my finance needed an attorney to file a legitimation/custody case. I remembered that my friend had highly recommended Ed to me when I was going through my own legal matters pertaining to my divorce. We called Ed last minute on a Friday and... he immediately made time for us to come in at 5pm. He is very detailed and really cares about you and your case. I have emailed/called Ed and he emails/calls back within the hour and answers any questions or concerns we may have. If you are facing a divorce, child custody, or any type of family matter, I highly recommend Ed to represent you; he will not let you down. Barbara

Great Service

I used Ed for my divorce in 2017 and found him very attentive to our situation and he fairly offered advice that worked for both myself, my kids and my ex. Being divorced himself Ed was able to give me real world advice that made sense to me. He was always available to answer any and all of my ques...tions. I would highly recommend his services for anyone going through a divorce.

Explains legal process very clearly!

I used Ed to go through my divorce and found him very attentive, and liked how he took the time to answer my questions in a way that I could understand as a lay person. When you are emotional and going through a vulnerable time in your life, you want an attorney that explains the process thoroughly ...and shows a lot of care and concern. I was very pleased with the outcome of my divorce and glad I was recommended to use Ed Hecht.

Personable and knowledgeable

Mr. Hecht is amazing! First and foremost, he' very approachable, attentive, professional and makes you feel like you are his only client. He makes himself available to you anytime you neede him, even long after his office hours. He took my case to heart and used every resource available along wit...h his knowledge and experience to best represent me. I trul believe that having walked through the path of divorce and being a single-parent himself, gives him the special empathy that many of us need and appreciate during such a difficult and challenging time of going through a divorce. I would definitely recommend Attorney Ed Hecht to anyone in my situation.

"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."

"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 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."
