What our clients are saying…

 

From Casey: Jason Heym has represented me twice in actions regarding child custody and divorcing of ex-wife. He did a fantastic job in both instances. He is very professional, organized and detail oriented. He was easily accessible whenever I needed to speak with him and responded to emails quickly (even on weekends). I felt that he was absolutely honest and fair in his billing – not like many attorneys you see out there who charge you every time your name is mentioned in their office! He is a skilled negotiator, honest, personable and truly cares about his clients and what is in their best interests. I do not hesitate to highly recommend Jason!

From Heidi: Maurice Cassidy is skillful, professional, knowledgeable, caring and thorough. He helped me navigate through my extremely difficult divorce. He responds quickly and competently to concerns and questions. Maurice will spend the time needed to explain things and to get the job done. He goes above and beyond to make sure your interests are taken care of. I highly recommend Maurice Cassidy to anyone in need of his legal services!

From Michael: Jason handled my divorce and I was very satisfied with the outcome. During the process Jason gave me great solid advise that on several occasions was definitely not what I wanted to hear (sell the house etc.) but was indeed the very best advise. He was patient when I needed time to process things and spurred me into action when I needed it. I absolutely recommend Jason if you are in need of a divorce. Solid legal representation with compassion for your bad situation.

From Lori: During a difficult time in our families’ lives, we were referred to Maurice Cassidy as an attorney who could help with our legal needs.  Our child's safety and stability were threatened and we needed someone who was able to  stand up to a government agency and advocate for what was in her best interests.  Mr. Cassidy listened.  He didn't judge by appearances or what others were saying.  We felt like we were being given a chance that had been taken away by those who thought they "knew best".  During the course of our time with him, Mr. Cassidy not only redeemed our sense of purpose as parents, but won our case.  I joked with him that writing his check made my heart happy!    His fees were fair and affordable, and his office was relaxing.  We appreciated his confidence in us, which in turn gave us confidence in him.  

From TP: I initially considered Jason Heym for my divorce and unfortunately a friend highly recommended someone else. I took that friend's advice, it is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. After spending nearly $50,000 on my divorce I was still entangled with an alimony agreement that came back to haunt me within two years of my divorce being finalized. When my ex-wife lost her job and requested an alimony adjustment I definitely knew who I was hiring: Jason Heym. He was upfront with me on every issue, returned phone calls and emails promptly, gave me great advice, kept me aware of monthly billing charges (so there were no surprises like my first lawyer)... These plus many other reasons make me now regret not initially hiring Jason Heym. One other friend has used Jason and was also extremely satisfied. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do need one you should definitely hire Jason Heym and save yourself all the stress my first attorney caused me.

From Diana: I am a mediator and arbitrator who has worked closely with Maurice for several years. He is a very compassionate and experienced attorney who provides his clients with sound advice and guides them through the complicated legal process. His clients tell me that they are so grateful to him for the help he provides them. He is honest and dependable.

From Tom: If I had to describe Jason in one word I would say “awesome.” Jason was very attentive and perceptive to the issue involving my case. Including his experience in law and divorce he also has a degree in finance which I believe gave him an understanding and an edge in the case. He is not only a very intelligent attorney but he also has a deep concern for his client and a dedication to get the best outcome possible for you. He is truly an attorney who is willing to fight for you every inch of the way to make sure you not only get what is fair but he is always thinking of the effects of the outcome and how you will be effected in the years to come. His knowledge and understanding on how retirement, 401K and other investments play into the case was impressive and he was able to pull all of this together in order to come out with the best possible settlement for me as his client. Jason not only worked hard for me but I also found out towards the beginning of the process that his reputation as a great negotiator had a good record. This was said by an outside attorney who had dealt with Jason and with the firm. Jason kept me informed of the developments on regular bases and made sure I always understood what was happening in the case. He even stepped in to help with a real estate agent who had dropped the ball and sent a letter on my behalf to help bring things back to where they needed to be. As a result I was able to continue and finalize the sale of the house in question. He has not only done an outstanding job in representing me and getting me the best settlement possible, he was also a great support at a time when all seemed to be falling apart in my life. He was always there with words of encouragement and reassuring me that all would be well.

From Sheri: I hired Maurice Cassidy to represent me in a complex family law case.  He came highly recommended and I was not disappointed.  Maurice is compassionate and listens carefully.  He explained every step of the legal process and was never condescending.  He always promptly returns emails and phone calls.  In my case he made sure I was always prepared in court.  His calm mannerism always kept me at ease.  Not only is he a competent lawyer, Maurice is passionate and cares about his clients.  I truly feel that if he did not believe that the case he was arguing was best for all involved, he would not take a case.  Even to this day, he follows up to see how things are going.  He makes a contribution to the betterment of people’s lives and has certainly made my family’s life better.

From Dori: Maurice was more than just my divorce lawyer. He is also a very kind person who cares about his clients and really wants the best for you. He is extremely thorough and was always there for me. He is a great person and lawyer to have on your side.

From EI: I used Jason Heym as my divorce attorney. He was professional, billed me properly and didn't nickel and dime. He also was one of the few honest lawyers I met - when I first met him, he told me straight up what I could expect. The other three lawyers I interviewed flat out lied about how they could hide this and that. For me the defining point was when he flat out told me not to do something which if I did, would have made him much more money. That showed me that he was interested in my well being and not just trying to bill as much as possible.

I strongly recommend Jason. He is a no BS lawyer that wants to help you get on with your life quickly. Divorce is not fun, but the sooner it is done and with the least amount of complications, the better it is.

From Abby: Maurice Cassidy was our lawyer for the adoption of our daughter. Maurice was reliable, efficient, and very kind. He made what can be a very overwhelming process, easy for us to understand and walked us through each step. We are very grateful for him.

From LouAnne: Maurice was an excellent attorney when we hired him for a challenging divorce case.   Maurice processed a large amount of information, demonstrated a good understanding of difficult situations and developed an effective strategy.  He was realistic with his advice and the challenges ahead.  He adequately prepared us for deposition in order to prevent us from becoming flustered.  He remained calm in and out of the courtroom, and continually focused on the most important aspects of the case.  He was adept at assessing the judge’s temperament during sessions and adjusted his presentation and witness questioning for the best outcome.  I highly recommend him for family law cases.
