What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
4.8 average over 130 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
18 results published
Across 9 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

G1 LicensureNot checked7 of 8 named attorneys are currently registered and none of those carries an adverse status. 1 other name(s) match a register entry that does: David Silverman shares a name with one of 8 registrations, one of them suspended, due to reregister. That entry cannot be tied to this firm's attorney and cannot be ruled out either, so the gate is held open rather than decided.
G2 DisciplineNot checkedNone of the 7 attorneys we identified carries a disciplinary status. 1 name(s) we could not identify share a name with a registration that does, David Silverman among 8 namesakes. Held open.

What the firm publishes itself
Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek lists 18 case results on its own website, across 9 case types. The page carries its own disclaimer about past results. We have read the page and counted what is on it. We have not confirmed the amounts, so none are repeated here.
Results are specific to their facts and do not guarantee similar outcomes. Firms submit results through their claimed profile; only results we can substantiate are published with amounts.
Attorneys 7 attorneys · every licence checked against the New York attorney register · 1 more person is named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys
