This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

LIFE SAVER!!!

Cathy Hersch came into my life at a time I really needed some help. She was amazing! She embodies a rare combination of vast knowledge from her years of experience along with authentic compassionate and caring. She speaks in language I can understand and always makes the time to answer all my que...stions or concerns. She has brought my family back together again after a difficult and painful time. Thank you Ms. Hersch today and always!!

Great Attorney and a great person to work with. She resolves difficult issues with her exceptional approach.

Ms. Hersch drafted the Marital Settlement Agreement exactly the way we had hoped for and continued her advice until the judgment. I think our unique case could not have been handled any better than the way she handled. She also did not charge for extra services that were not considered as part o...f our case.

Helped set up prenup before July Wedding

Cathy was very easy to work with and educated me through the entire process. She made me feel comfortable in what I would consider an uncomfortable situation. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her services in the future.

Great attorney and absolutely wonderful person!

When I found myself facing divorce, I was referred to Cathy by the attorney who handles my business affairs.. From the first time I met with Cathy I knew she was like no other. Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable, she is kind and compassionate. My husband (ex) liked Cathy so much ...that even though she strongly recommended he hire an attorney to review the agreement on his behalf, he trusted her so much he didn't feel the need to do so. It had to have been the smoothest divorce of all time. When the papers were signed I had her update my will and trust. She was extremely thorough and her prices couldn't have been more reasonable. Shortly thereafter when my mother died and my dad needed an update on his will and trust, she came to our home to meet with him since it was so difficult for him to get around. I have since referred many of my friends to Cathy and don't know of a single one of them who didn't adore her. I highly recommend this wonderful woman. Janie P.

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.
