About Spencer Michael

Spencer Michael Hecht is a dedicated family law attorney based in Rockville, Maryland. Since 2002, he has focused his practice on various family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and child support. His experience in these areas has made him a advocate for families facing legal challenges. Hecht earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2002, equipping him with a solid foundation in legal principles and practices. Prior to his legal education, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999, further enhancing his analytical and communication skills. In 2017, Hecht & Associates made a strategic decision to relocate its office to Rockville, Maryland.

This new location is directly adjacent to the Montgomery County family court, allowing the firm to provide more accessible services to clients involved in family law proceedings. The office is situated at 111 Rockville Pike, Suite 740, Rockville, MD 20850, a convenient spot for clients seeking legal assistance. This relocation reflects Hecht's commitment to serving the community and ensuring that families have easy access to legal representation.

Hecht's approach combines advocacy with a practical understanding of the complexities involved in family law cases.

His membership in the Maryland State Bar Association, which he joined in 2002, further solidifies his standing in the legal community. Additionally, he is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, broadening his ability to serve clients across jurisdictions. In January 2023, Hecht received a reprimand from the Supreme Court of Maryland for violating Rule 19-303.4(c) of the Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct. This rule pertains to fairness to opposing parties and counsel. The reprimand was issued by consent, indicating that Hecht acknowledged the sanction without contesting the allegations.

While this incident is a part of his professional history, it has not diminished his reputation among clients, who continue to commend his skills and dedication.
