Did what two high priced law firms could not do

I was referred to Ed after 2.5 years of an expensive, high conflict, gut wrenching divorce. I hired two law firms previous to Ed and neither of their "super lawyers" were able to accomplish in over 2 years what Ed did for me in two weeks. Ed has the rare combination of intelligence, compassion and sp...ot-on strategic thinking that won me a settlement both high priced attorneys beforehand told me was impossible. I cannot recommend Ed enough to anyone who needs the best possible representation throughout their divorce.

knowledgeable, sincere, sympathetic and importantly pragmatic…

In a nutshell, I wish someone had given me Ed’s reference before I signed by divorce settlement. I did meet Ed on a particular follow-up issue around the maintenance amount I had agreed to pay my Ex, without her declaring to me some additional income sources during mediation. Ed gave me a quic...k breakdown of costs & maximum possible gains from litigation. Where he won me over was by being sympathetic but also being candid in basically advising me to save my money & not challenge a white Seattle single mom (my ex). Based on how late I had come to know of her extra income, and how no Seattle jury was going to ask her to return any maintenance money to me. Maybe a token something that would not cover a fraction of money spent in courts. His advice was a balance between merit of my case, and importantly the reality of how such decisions swing in Seattle courts. He could have easily said yes & drawn me into costly litigation. Ed was knowledgeable, sincere, sympathetic and importantly pragmatic… thanks

Divorse & Re-Unification

Edward Hirsh is a very knowledgable Family Lawyer. He has helped me in fighting for my rights in a Divorce filing from wife. He also helped me in defending me very well inside the courts and get secure the Child rights. I am very happy with the legal service he provided. He is also a very kind, soft-...spoken and understand the family values very well. He listens to the clients very patiently. But inside the courts and before the Judges he is very aggressive. He helped me in negotiating with the respondent's lawyers. I could not have got a better attorney, during the worst and most crucial years of my life. After re-unification with my wife, my wife commeted, "Ed is a very good lawyer". I never heard a Plaintiff coming forward and praising a defendant's lawyer.
