Hecht & Seidman LLC

Mark is extremely focused on the details and will assist you in the best way! He's a Great attorney and I would recommend him 100%. Thank you for your Hard Work!

Mark was attentive, explained what was going what to expect, and always went over all of the options available and got his opinion on which course of action is the best strategy. Mark clearly is concerned with the client and to get the best possible option for them. He is concerned about doing what is best for his client even if it is not necessarily the course of action that makes his life easier or his bill larger. If you need any attorney who will look out for you first, mark is the attorney for you.

An honest review by a recent client, not a friend or acquaintance posing as one. Let me be clear, stay away from this Firm! I have never been represented by such an incompetent lawyer as with Mr. Schondorf. This attorney brings a big fat zero to the table. You will most likely lose your case and waste your hard earned dollars in the process. You will also find yourself doing most of the talking because Mr. Schondorf is simply unable to articulate any type of defense while in the Court Room. He demonstrated little to no skill-set when working on my case. I take no pleasure in writing a negative review, but with my experience I feel that others have the right to know when services rendered are so bad that they are simply unacceptable. I wish more people did this, and this is one thing that Social Media and reviews are actually good for. I will not judge Mr. Schondorf, and instead try to provide some details around his professional abilities, or there the lack of. Let us start with the most basic items, Mr. Schondorf has terrible organization skills, he is likely to request information from you that you have previously provided him with on a multitude of occasions, this will not only drive up cost but also play on your frustration levels. His overall Legal skills are subpar, I personally found myself challenging Mr. Schondorf on Legal Statutes to the point where I had to directly point him to it. You are likely to find yourself arguing with your own attorney because his lack of skill and performance will be very frustrating to you. You will find yourself investing a lot of time in keeping a close watch on this attorney as a result of his lack of skill-set, knowledge, accuracy, and overall ability. You will also find that his communication is not timely, and his work often contains errors. Be prepared to spend hours looking over his paperwork, and countless emails, all of which is costing you money. The details of your case are likely to be forgotten, so you'll find yourself having to remind him of them. If you decide to go ahead and proceed with hiring him as a representing attorney, be prepared for a long haul! The one thing that this attorney is good at is prolonging even the simplest matters. He is likely to hide behind "this is the process", so be ready for it. Once the case has gone for some time, he will likely try and advise you on settling. This is especially true when the dollars start to run out! This attorney performed so inadequately that it was necessary for me to file a complaint with the ARDC. In addition, I am now forced to consider Legal Malpractice charges against him as I feel I was totally misrepresented. Honestly there are probably a thousand other lawyers that would yield a much better result for you. Good luck!

After 30 years of legal practice and encounters with hundreds of different attorneys across the United States, I believe Mark Schondorf is possibly the single worst attorney I know. He made a poor mistake that could have led to a permanent contempt of court finding against me and that cost me thousands of dollars. He refused to correct that mistake (because it embarrassed him) until it was almost too late to make a difference--and then only after another lawyer and I wrote almost all of his legal brief for him. Stay away from Mark Schondorf and Hecht Schondorf. Finally, I had to leave one star because you apparently can't post a review without one. Mark Schondorf is, however, a zero star lawyer based on my professional and personal experience.

Mark Schondorf is a true professional! He is not your typical divorce attorney. His reputation is being responsive and truly looks out for his client's best interest.
