David Hesser’s advanced analytical ability and years of court room experience enables him to obtain strategic solutions for various legal issues. During our initial consultation, he quickly presented a framework on how to approach my divorce / interstate custody case. I realized then why senior Attorney’s don’t require consultation fees---because their mastery of law is so evident that you’ll undoubtedly retain them, and that’s what I did! He also works well with opposing counsel to achieve favorable and fair results. Note: David Hesser has definitely piqued my interest in going to Law School and becoming a Family Law Attorney.

I hired Mr Hesser to be attorney in a interstate child custody case. He is highly intelligent and has worked very hard on my case. I live in another state than Louisiana and he has made it very easy on me by communicating with me, keeping me updated on things, and he's gone above and beyond for me and my child in my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Hesser if you are looking for a highly intelligent, smart, compassionate, and an attorney who will work hard and get results on your case. I'm very thankful to have Mr. Hesser as my attorney!

My son found himself being sued for support for a child whose mother denied his paternity for 17 years! We live in another state and were quite overwhelmed at trying to communicate with someone over such distance. Mr. Hesser and Mrs. Hesser led us through the process with great care and patience. They understood that we are lay-people with little experience in legal matters. They took care of us each step of the way and communicated clearly and often. Their fee was reasonable and every bit of the money we paid was accounted for. We trusted this firm with securing the best outcome for us and were not disappointed. I could not recommend a better firm for family law.

Mr. Hesser and his staff are by far the best in the Alexandria/Pineville area. After having used several family law attorney's in my past, I highly recommend Mr. Hesser. He and his staff are extremely hardworking, detail oriented and passionate about the services they provide. I am very pleased with the overall experience and will definitely hire Mr. Hesser again in the future if the need arises.

I made initial contact with Trey Flynn. He provided me a great deal of information and advise. I decided to hire Hesser and Flynn directly after that phone call. Angela Hesser contacted me right away and assisted me with everything. She kept me informed about every detail throughout the entire case, and answered every phone call, and email I sent. She always had time. David Hesser handled my case and managed to get everything handled without any problems, or set backs. I felt like I was their only client, and I know that was far from true. Hiring a lawyer is never a good thing. However, Hesser and Flynn made it a good experience. Great people!

Mr. Hesser was recommended to me by a friend to handle my property settlement. He was very knowledgeable about military laws in reference to retirement and what a spouse is entitled to. He was right there for me in court, ready for anything they threw our way and handled every situation in a professional manner. We were able to get everything I was asking for and just a little more than expected. Mr Hesser was able to explain things to me so that I was able to understand all the legal jargon. Never once did I feel uncomfortable around him or unable to explain how I felt. I felt he was truly interested in my situation and the outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with property settlement, especially military retired. I also have to add that his staff is awesome. They make you feel like you are part of the family.

David did a great job representing me. I was very stressed out when my ex wife started pressuring me with legal threats and making me feel like I was in the wrong. I felt a big rush of relief after my first consultation with David, he reminded me that I have rights too and I was not being unreasonable. I feel like he really understood the problems I was having and he gave me confidence going forward with my case. He did very well explaining my situation to the judge and I was very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend him to anybody needing legal help.
