Scammed. No shame

Lied. Never even made a phone call in behalf of my son. SLICK! What can I say, I’m a widow, that money I paid was such a sacrifice!

Almost Lost my trivial case

If I could give a half star, I would. These are my observations after I hired Attorney Hecker. I had no option but to let him go. 1) He will quote a very small fee for your case- He does that to attract a lot of gullible clients. Which means he takes on more clients than he could possibly cater for.... 2) He does not provide any contract/agreement of the service he will be providing to you - make sure to get a contract signed with him before you make any payment. He needs to be responsive to you. He needs to show up in court and not send his assistant or paralegal. 3) Once you pay him the full amount he starts to be unresponsive. On multiple occasions he does not even remember you have paid the full amount...If you abide by (2) you should be fine 4) To avoid all his contrivance, just hire a different attorney. This is my recommendation especially if you know you are innocent in the case.

Liar Liar pants on fire!! A joke of a lawyer

This man lied and had my family and I pay him his 3500 dollars and kept resetting the case. He never has visited my brother in jail and does not return calls at all. He is all about the money period. He should be disbarred immediately or someone needs to file a action against him. He is in fact a jok...e. He tells you all this crappie in the beginning to get you but then in return once he gets your business he does nothing to help. For cases that should be cut and dry he does nothing but reset, reset, reset!!!!!!!! What an unhonorable lawyer, DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN PLEASE!!!!

TERRIBLE ATTORNEY

Paid this guy $2500 he promised to have the case dismissed or thrown out.....LIES! Once this guy gets your money he doesn't give a damn what happens he doesn't take the case to trial like he promises he takes the first offer you are given and walks away. He never kept in contact to let us know what w...as going on with the case or anything he hardly ever showed up to court he would either send someone or show up extremely late. PLEASE BE CAREFUL DO NOT HIRE THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A ATTORNEY YOU WILL GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

Worst attorney ever!!

Don never told us what was going on with our case. He went and set our case to trial without asking us. We had to fire him in order to have a fighting chance in court.
