Hecht & Associates - Rockville, MD

Going through a high-conflict divorce and custody was hard. I went through a lot emotionally, mentally, and financially. Not only was Spencer a great attorney, but he was a great advocate for me throughout the process. He is always very responsive and doesn’t leave you wondering what’s happening in the case. He never nickeled and dimed me and has always worked with me. Spencer Hecht provides five-star service, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me get the outcome my family deserved.

I highly recommend Hecht and Associates. They are experienced, skilled, and ethical - which are the most important qualities - but additionally, they are down to earth and strike the right balance between efficient pursuit of solutions and building interpersonal rapport. At all times they were professional. They exercised patience in explaining legal matters and empathy and understanding throughout the most stressful, chaotic, and depressing of times. Again, the interpersonal relationship built was very valuable, as it lightened the heavy load of stress as you move through the difficulty together. Their skill and experience allowed them to anticipate the unfolding of legal events, and craft our approach accordingly. They are calm and steady, but forceful when necessary. I am grateful for having partnered with Hecht and Associates to help me navigate this unfamiliar, treacherous territory.

Navigating the Maryland Family Court system can be daunting and overwhelming. I am so glad I had Hecht Associates on my side. Jonathan Stepanuk and Spencer Hecht are experts in negotiation and litigation related to custody and division of assets and helped me achieve my goals. They are professional, ethical, understanding, and also very accommodating. They answered all my questions promptly, offered helpful advice to protect my children's best interests, and gave me a sense of security during a turbulent process. I couldn't be more grateful for their zealous advocacy of my interests throughout this process. I highly recommend Hecht Associates to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Words cannot fully describe my gratitude for Mr. Hecht and his staff. If you are seeking an attorney, DO NOT hesitate to hire him. I accidentally found Mr. Hecht and his firm as I desperately sought an attorney with expertise in the military and high-conflict divorces. When I called the firm, I was emotionally drained and about to give up in my search. Unbeknownst to me, Mr. Hecht was the person who answered the phone, and as I spilled out my story in what I am certain was incoherent blubbering, Mr. Hecht immediately was reassuring, supportive, and agreed to meet the next day. Mr. Hecht became familiar with my case in less than 24 hours, and at the meeting, there was no doubt that I would hire him. From the beginning, I could see he was a fierce advocate, compassionate, sensible, logical, and always knew exactly how to prepare me for what was next. To say I trusted him implicitly is an understatement. Despite the many setbacks I experienced, there was one thing that rang true in the end, everything he said would happen came true. It required a great deal of confidence to surrender my life and my children's future to Mr. Hecht and his team. In the end, we were triumphant in all legal areas. This was not just about a divorce or custody; it was about my future, the future of the children, and their well-being. At every step, Mr. Hecht maintained that as a priority in the case and always reassured me. It was not an easy process; at times, highly emotional, but Mr. Hecht.and his team made it possible to endure the challenges and celebrate the successes. Given the uniqueness and complexities of military families, I could not have asked for more from Hecht & Associates. Mr. Hecht went above and beyond in his representation and I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed. Thank you, Mr. Hecht and team, for helping us begin our new chapters! We could not be happier!
