There are situations where the limited services of a qualified attorney may suffice rather than full legal representation.

You only pay the attorney for the work he or she has completed for you, making limited scope representation a cost-effective method.

I reached out to Barbara regarding a garnishment situation that I found myself in a couple of months back. I found myself extremely taken back by the situation and overwhelmed with stress. With this being said, when I reached out to Barbara and her team, they were extremely supportive, responsive, and helpful!! Throughout the course of my case, Barbara and her team kept in great communication and helped ease my state of mind. I am glad that I made the decision I did to have Barbara represent me and help settle my case! THANK YOU!!

Critical: Professionalism
Was referred to her by Hyatt/MetLife through my employer. I should have checked her reviews ahead of time. She started working on some estate planning documents, but in our first and only phone interaction she was extremely rude and condescending. When I die, I don’t want my loved ones dealing with her.

We too utilized Hyatt legal plan guiding us to her.
It was exceptionally awful to work with her. It wasn't just for being so dreadfully unorganized and being charged repeatedly for the same information being requested that was acknowledged to be within her own office but the refusal to utilize technology to help in making things easier to access whenever she'd want any documents (through secured channels) instead of re-requesting them repeatedly through unsecured channels. Instead printed versions or unsecured e-mail chains amongst her staff were the only options afforded.
Hands down the worst

Barbara is one of the most condescending individuals I have ever met in my life. Not only is she rude; she acts as if you're wasting her time, she talks over you, and has goodie-two-shoe connections with local property ownership organizations, siding with landlords despite her paid services through Hyatt Legal. Avoid all services with this unprofessional, at all costs.
EDIT: She reports these reviews to other branches under Hyatt Legal and denies representation for other lawyers if you leave her a negative review. This is a very dirty and unprofessional business tactic.

She was awesome. Made it so easy for me, all I had to do was respond to occasional emails while she resolved my issues, with a better outcome than I could have thought possible.
Wow these other reviews are baffling!?! As someone that actually DID work with her and use her services, I can tell you, she was awesome. She’s efficient, polite, and caring. I came to her to help with financial issues after my wife passed away, and she had my back all the way and comforted me too. I felt lucky to have her on my side while resolving these issues.
The fact that 2 of the reviewers on here didn’t even

Let me just say this...If there was an option for zero Stars that is what Barbara Hecht would get. She let ME know what i was entitled to in my divorce settlement instead of asking me what I want. In other words, "I wont be asking for anything you want" So after i fired her I got exactly what i wanted, She was a huge waste of 8,000.

We contacted this law firm on referral through Hyatt Legal plans for a simple will. We worked with Milt Tootle and could not be more pleased. They were extremely thorough, timely, and professional at all times. They made the process very easy. The most impressive part was the binder they put together and mailed to us once everything was filed. Very happy with this law firm.
