REAL help!

My situation was overwhelming not only did I face child custody issues but also had deep financial problems to wade through. After one consultation with Mrs. Hersch I had a plan that I understood and she provided action steps to take that would ultimately get me through the mess called "family law". ... If you need REAL help, Cathy Hersch is the lawyer that untangles the mess and clears a path to the other side.

Trustworthy, Helpful and Responsive

Cathy is caring, responsive and very helpful. She gave me the information I required to move forward. I will be hiring Cathy when I am ready to proceed with my legal matters. I recommend her to everyone.

Cathy brought our settlement to a peaceful close, after years of battling in court with other attorneys.

I am so glad we came upon Cathy Hersch! She successfully managed a settlement agreement between my ex husband and I after YEARS of unhappy court battles. She is reasonable, trustworthy, smart, a good communicator and outcome focused. She went way above and beyond and I am truly impressed with her pat...ience and skill. I highly recommend her, especially (as in our case) she kept us out of court for the umpteeth time. The war may finally be over and everyone can now focus on moving forward peacefully. Thank you Cathy!

Above & Beyond

Cathy not only saved me a ton of money through my divorce, she saved me a ton of stress. She went above and beyond what she needed to do, and negotiated with my ex husband and got me a divorce that was fair and reasonable. (he didn't have an attorney so she mediated between us). I would recommend Cat...hy to anyone going through this difficult time.

Saved me a TON!

I was skeptical going in because I had been burned by a previous attorney. But Cathy came highly recommended by a trusted friend. Cathy immediately set my fears at ease, and more than exceeded my expectations. She did, in fact, exceed my HOPES for a good outcome. Her knowledge was comforting, she... kept me aware of the progress, she made things happen, she was a minimal pain at her worst and a god-send at her best. I have already, and will continue to have, recommended her to anyone looking for a great lawyer with integrity.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
