The Hecker Fink team is comprised of highly experienced litigators, trial lawyers, and operations professionals, including five former federal prosecutors, three former public defenders, six former U.S. Supreme Court clerks, and dozens of attorneys with experience clerking at all levels of state and federal courts. This uniquely talented pool of attorneys enables Hecker Fink to consistently produce exceptional outcomes and value to our clients, and also earned us the recognition of being named "Boutique Firm of the Year" by Benchmark Litigation for four of the past five years.

Hecker Fink is recognized by Chambers and Legal 500 as having one of the country's top white collar defense practices. Our commercial litigation, FCPA, nationwide corporate crime and investigations, employment, and higher education practices are similarly ranked by Chambers. The legal guide noted that the Firm is "recognized for its excellence across an array of litigation-related matters" and is "respected by the market for its 'deep bench of heavy hitters with different backgrounds who are leaders in this area, and are smart, collaborative people." Our lawyers have tried and won dozens of cases in state and federal courts across the country.

Hecker Fink lawyers are also recognized among the leading litigators in the country, consistently earning awards from legal media and professional organizations. Consistent with our Firm’s values, our lawyers hold leadership roles in public service organizations and are widely published on a variety of topics.

An anonymous peer noted to Benchmark Litigation that our lawyers "are unwaveringly committed to staring down injustice without blinking, and their work proves that. They are ambitious, feisty and fearless, especially tailor-made for these tumultuous times." Another noted that "they are all pretty young, and are already superstars, so really, if they keep that model and all wind up staying together, the sky is the limit."
