Hecht Family Law does not aim to genuinely solve clients' issues but rather complicates simple cases and delays them to drain clients' wallets. I am very dissatisfied with their services, especially with Ed and Bryson's performance. Throughout my case, I encountered numerous issues, including unreasonable high fees, lack of attention to the case, and poor customer service. First, the issues with fees are very serious. I noticed many charges were far above what I expected. For example: On October 31, 2023, there was a charge of $100.00 for a 0.20-hour session involving preparation and debriefing with Bryson about case strategy. Similarly, on January 3, 2024, a brief service process discussion was billed at $300.00 for just 0.60 hours. These instances suggest a high billing rate for tasks that appear to be quite brief. The initial meeting and subsequent activities on October 31, 2023 led to a bill of $1,550.00 for 3.10 hours of work. This includes preparing pleadings which seems quite substantial for the time reported. Frequent brief discussions, such as those on April 26, 2024, and April 29, 2024, have each been billed at $50.00 for merely 0.10 hours. The repetitive nature and brevity of these discussions raise concerns about their cumulative cost impact. It appears that every email and phone interaction, no matter how short, is being billed. This method of billing significantly increases the total cost, especially considering the high hourly rate. Secondly, the attention to the case and efficiency is also questionable. The billing reflects frequent, brief exchanges that may indicate less than optimal management of task efficiency, leading to unnecessary escalations in billing. Moreover, the quality of customer service is extremely poor. Ed showed great performance during the initial meeting but once the retainer check cleared, communication suddenly dropped, except for asking for more money. This approach is highly unprofessional, especially when handling important custody cases. I cannot recommend him for any significant legal matters. If he gets frustrated with you or your family, he will find ways to charge you, even by putting a lien on your property. Furthermore, Bryson showed extreme indifference and lack of responsibility while handling my case. He submitted case materials without my notarized signature and often made errors, including misspelling my name and my daughter's age, with numerous spelling mistakes in the legal documents. Worse, my attorney withdrew from my case without my consent, severely impacting my case. Bryson Hash and Hecht Family Law submitted unauthorized documents and failed to cancel discovery requests as I explicitly instructed, causing me unnecessary trouble and stress. Throughout the process, I also encountered the following unpleasant situations: They would deduct money without sending me a bill. It was only after repeated urging that they finally sent me a consolidated bill for two charges. Ed even lied that the bills had been sent earlier without providing any proof. When I inquired about the bill details, Ed threatened that if I continued to ask, they would withdraw from the case. Initially, I didn't understand and was afraid to ask further. Later, I sent two emails raising questions about the billing expenses, but they refused to respond. According to the service contract, I have the right to raise disputes within 7 days, but they did not reply to my dispute emails, forcing me to contact the bank for a dispute and notify Hecht by email. Overall, Hecht Family Law has issues not only with their billing practices but also with customer service and case management. If you are seeking legal services, please consider carefully. My experience shows that they are more interested in selling themselves than providing valuable legal support.

My wife and I hired Bryson and Ed to obtain custody of my daughters that were in an unsafe living situation with their biological mother. A custody hearing is a very stressful thing to go through. Bryson & Ed were always there for us every step of the way. From talking on the phone to police officers while the police were at my home(on a weekend), to guiding me on how to immediately protect my kids and remove them from the unsafe situation to the most unbelievable outcome that we could have ever dreamed of. They are so good, that even though we now live several hours away from Atlanta, if I ever need a family law attorney again, I will seriously consider paying the expense of them traveling to my town for court. Yes, they are THAT good! I have and will continue to refer people I care about to Bryson.

Bryson was like my best friend advocating for me. He’s extremely knowledgeable, well respected, thorough, caring, and effective. I feel I’ve known him for life. He knows the law inside and out and you know you have the best on your side from the initial meeting all the way through the desired outcome (which he ensured every step of the way for me). I recommend Bryson extremely highly. Thank you Bryson, for all you did for me and my family!

I hired Bryson Hash to help go after my ex-husband for non-payment of child support. He was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and patient with all of my questions and we reached a settlement very quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation!

Bryson was responsive, knowledgeable and extremely efficient in handling my legal matters. 10/10 would recommend

Bryson is a complete pleasure to work with. My case was very stressful and emotional and he had my best interests in mind every step of the way. I was supported every time a curve ball was thrown and never had to worry that he would handle these situations professionally, promptly, and strategically. I've already recommended him to everyone I know. What a great lawyer.

I had a week from notification to trial. A week to find a lawyer and trust them with the details of my case and my defense. Bryson met with me once and took great notes and sent me a summary in a timely fashion. He was available whenever I had a question and made sure I felt prepared for trial. Day of, I felt like I was in incredibly capable hands. I would highly recommend Bryson. I've only had a few lawyer experiences in my life and this was certainly the best experience of them all.

Bryson handled the aspects of my case beautifully. I believe my case was different and extreme with only one end I could hope for, and I received just that end. He was very attentive and responsive when necessary. I also felt he was compassionate and caring during the most stressful, horrible time of my entire life. Thank you Bryson, for getting me the result I so desperately needed. I highly recommend Mr. Hash.

I hired Mr. Hash on an urgent matter and he showed up prepared and eager to help in a pinch. He will continue to be my go to attorney. He quickly educated himself on my situation and was a great help to move me through the problem at hand.

Bryson is a first class attorney. From beginning to end he was patient, compassionate, reassuring and most of all responsive during the entire process. He was always willing to break down each step of the process. I am very grateful to him for helping me navigate such a difficult event.

I never had a lawyer before and when I hired the first one it was not good . When I hired Bryson , the very first meeting he made me feel confident that he could do the job and I was so relief of him taking over the case . I would hire him again for I feel he has your back . Thanks , Bryson

I hired Bryson to assist with a grandparent visitation case. Bryson was knowledgeable about the law beyond any attorney I have ever seen in the family law area. Bryson was always prepared for court dates and always had a Plan B & C depending on what move opposing counsel made. Bryson would always touch base with me before any court dates and let me know what the game plan was and listen to any feedback that I offered. Bryson really cared about my family situation and fought hard to get me the result I was seeking. In the end, he got exactly what I asked for during our first meeting - get the case dropped. Case dismissed! Thanks Bryson for your extremely hard work!
