Mr. Hecht helped me fighting for my children's custody using his professional knowledge, excellent skills, and more important with his firm confidence. My case was about taking back custody of my children from ex and it was really a crappy nasty case which made me crashed for many years. Mr. Hecht and his team were working on it shortly and resolved the accumulated problems one by one amazingly. This really moved the heavy stone and nightmare from me and my children. Really appreciate and highly recommend Mr. Hecht and his team!!

Spencer Hecht and his team work to close your case as quickly as possible and with your financial and emotional interests in mind. The painful process of divorce could easily be made more so with the wrong attorney, unfortunately. Without Hecht's effective representation, my case could have dragged on many more months. Hecht used his considerable expertise to negotiate with the other side and navigate the legal system on my behalf with unusual efficiency. I am grateful that he and his team took care to keep me informed and involved in the process.

His law firm has many outstanding Associates, the receptionist the secretary the paralegals are wonderful people, their treatment of me as a client is surpassing.

After 8 months of a failed marriage and a newborn daughter, I reached out to Hecht & Associates for sole legal and physical custody, along with child support. Our challenge was dealing with a Defendant who pursued joint custody, attempted to withhold income, and provided inadequate responses throughout discovery. The discovery method used by this firm was extremely thorough and enabled me to enjoy the performance during trial. Not only was Spencer Hecht and Jonathan Stepanuk prepared with organized exhibits from discovery, they also demonstrated expertise by analyzing questionable income and expenses presented by my former spouse. The Judge was able to quickly ascertain inconsistencies based on Spencer's pointed questions when cross-examining the Defendant. Spencer calmly presented income and expenses (line-by-line), as the Defendant and opposing counsel failed miserably with their explanations. In summary, this firm did a fantastic job negotiating the outcome on my behalf. I received exactly what I paid for -- outstanding representation and a WIN!

Being young and new to these custody fights can be a pain in the butt. not knowing where to start, I had to meet with four different lawyers to actually find the best trustworthy family lawyer that seemed that wouldn't just rip you off. Although I seemed too young and had no type of knowledge on the custody laws, Spencer and his firm treated me with respect, and supported me from day one, never felt like they took advantage of my money. He explained everything I needed to know and had put my mind to ease from the first day I met with him. He is very experienced, confident, and says it how it is. if you need a trustworthy law firm that will individually put all effort and attention to your case, you got your firm right here. give them a call , you'll see what I'm talking about!

I hired Hecht & Associates for my recent custody case, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The custody litigation process is very long and very stressful, but Jon and Spencer at the firm do a fantastic job of being professional, courteous and aggressive when needed. They are honest and upfront, and got the job done. I would HIGHLY recommend Hecht & Associates to anyone in a situation similar to the one I was in. FANTASTIC support staff as well. Best family law practice in MD.

I highly recommend Spencer Hecht and his firm to anyone looking for a dependable and highly qualified law firm. I have had the honor of having Spencer Hecht work directly on my case and he has done an exceptional job. From the first day I walked into his office he listened to what I had to say and he put my mind at ease. I knew from the start I wanted him and his firm to represent me. Everyone at Hecht & Associates has been very warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very professional. Spencer took the time to explain everything to me and always answered my emails promptly. Whenever a situation came up Spencer was always there for me and I always felt much better after speaking with him. I was amazed at how well he remembered every detail of my case, even at times better than me! He is very thorough, confident, and knows what he is doing. Spencer got me through the hardest time of my life and as he put it “My job is to make you whole again” and I can honestly say that is what he has done for me and it has been worth every penny.

I love Spencer Hecht. He has a no nonsense approach. He is tough, and tells it like it is. He is knowledgeable and can handle very tough divorce/custody cases. Our custody case wasn't ease because of the mental illness issues of my husbands ex-wife. Spencer was able to see through her BS and do what was best for my step-son. I would highly recommend him!

I first spoke with Spencer Hecht during one of the most difficult times of my life. I contacted his firm only days before my custody hearing, yet Mr. Hecht did not hesitate to take on my case despite the very short notice. At the time, I was unsatisfied with my current representation, and needed an aggressive attorney to attend an expedited hearing with me to regain custody of my child. Mr. Hecht was understanding and reassuring as I explained the details of my complex custody situation. He was knowledgeable about child custody and responded to my phone calls and emails promptly. After retaining Hecht & Associates, Spencer immediately paired me with a senior litigator of the firm to begin preparing for my case. He drafted a letter on my behalf to my former council and as a result I received a complete refund of the retainer I provided to this attorney. My experience with Mr. Hecht was nothing but positive and exceeded my expectations. Though he did not represent me personally, he made certain that my case received the immediate attention that was needed. I was represented by another professional, knowledgeable, aggressive member of his team that arrived to court confident and well prepared and I am thrilled to say that I was awarded Primary custody of my child! Every employee of the firm that I interacted with was not only professional, but helpful and I highly recommend Spencer Hecht of Hecht & Associate Law Firm to anyone seeking representation in a child custody matter. Their level of commitment and expertise exceeded my expectation. My child is now at home with me, and I could not be happier with the outcome.

When I first began using Spencer Hecht in early 2012, my life was deteriorating in front of me. My marriage had fallen apart and I hadn't seen my children in months. I needed an attorney that gave me the guidance and strength that I didn't have, and Spencer was that attorney for me. I have red the negative reviews on here and am truly surprised that these "clients" have so many negative things to say. Spencer was the most ideal attorney for my situation and was the bulldog I was looking for. In the end he fought for my kids like no other attorney would've and I got the best outcome expected, my kids home again. I will forever be grateful and urge all of the "clients" to take a look at what they were really looking for in an attorney, because Spencer is the best.
