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.

GREAT LAWYER - LOTS OF INTEGRITY

This lawyer knew exactly what the problem was and dealt with it without charging me unnecessary fees that would benefit her, and not resolve the problem. She always got right back to me - did not charge me for every phone call. I would definitely use her again and I will be recommending her to my ...friends.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I interviewed several attorneys prior to retaining Cathy Hersch. I am so glad I decided to hire her. She is not only well-educated about legal matters, she is also devoted to her clients, always showing genuine concern about my legal problems and getting things done. I highly recommend her to anyo...ne.

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.
