Judith A. Hearn

I use to be married to Judy. Even though we are divorced, I have to admit her tenacity and knowledge of the law. People often don't like the results in their case. That isn't always the fault of the atty. Many times, there isn't any wiggle room in criminal cases. People often expect miracles and... their crimes to go away. That isn't the way things work. Bottom line, if I ever needed an atty to zealously represent me, I would use her.

My husband hired Judith Hearn in our divorce. It has been a fiasco from the start. Missing or last minute documents, documents scanned illegible, doesn't know the law, rude, does not make time or return calls once she has your $. We have had 3 mediations and now a waiting for 3rd court date for what ...should have been a very simple divorce, no kids...no big $. Just does everything she can to drive up her fee. Btw...my attorney said she had a stroke a few years ago. She's never been right since. Just stocking up funds for retirement. Stay away...I am out 10 grand and she's my opposing council. She's horrible.

Do not recommend this attorney. Hired her for a divorce with child. She told me steps to take, then turned around and acted like I was doing all the wrong things. Was rude over the phone and through email, and fine in person. Told her exactly what I wanted and she seemed to do her own thing regardi...ng the custody and parenting of my child. Couldn't seem to keep facts straight. Not dependable in my opinion. Makes you feel like you are in it alone..

I approached Judith Hearn for help with a legal issue. As she was convincing me to retain her, she was very adamant about helping me and made several promises of what she could/would do for me. Once I had retained her, however, it was a completely different story. She made me feel like my case w...asn’t worth her time. She would never return my calls. If I had a question, the only way to get it answered was to go to her office so she had to talk to me. She didn’t even bother to come to my arraignment. It seems that at soon as Hearn had my money, she just wanted to shuffle me through the process and get rid of me as quickly as possible, with as little work as possible. As to the dispensation of my case, she was no help at all. The instant she faced any resistance from the prosecutor, she immediately rolled-over and any and all promises she made me were out the door. At the sentencing, she didn’t say a word; not chiming in even once to say anything to my benefit. I’m sorry to say it, but I honestly felt cheated by this woman. Looking at it objectively, having Hearn as an attorney was essentially the same as having no attorney and pleading guilty; since the end result would have been the same either way. All in all, Judith Hearn is a very poor lawyer. If you all need is a lawyer to be “there” standing next to you as the judge reads your sentence, Hearn is for you. If you actually want real help with your legal issues from someone who may care even just a little, I suggest you steer clear.
