Hecht Family Law – Atlanta, GA

Compassionate Family Law and Divorce Attorneys

Representation from Someone Who Has Been There

Hecht Family Law is a trusted family law firm serving clients in Atlanta and Alpharetta with a unique and deeply personal perspective. Founded by Ed Hecht, an attorney who is also a divorced father of two, the firm operates on a foundation of empathy and firsthand understanding. Ed Hecht knows exactly what his clients are going through-the fear, the confusion, and the emotional toll of a family breakup-because he has walked that path himself. He has navigated the complexities of divorce, paid child support, and co-parented his own children. This personal experience transforms his legal practice; he is not just an advocate, but a guide who can offer practical, real-world advice on how to survive and thrive after a divorce. The firm’s mission is to provide ‘Compassionate Law for a New Beginning,’ ensuring that every client feels heard, supported, and vigorously represented.

The firm specializes in all aspects of Family Law, from contested divorces and high-conflict custody battles to amicable settlements and adoptions. Hecht Family Law is known for being accessible and responsive; clients are given Ed Hecht’s personal cell phone number because he understands that family crises do not strictly adhere to business hours. The firm also maintains a strong practice in Estate Planning, helping families update their wills and trusts as their life circumstances change. Whether you are a father fighting for your parental rights or a mother seeking fair support, the team at Hecht Family Law offers the aggressive advocacy needed in the courtroom combined with the sensitivity required in family matters. With offices in both Downtown Atlanta and Alpharetta, they serve clients throughout the metro area.
