Hugh Rechner
Hugh's legal expertise and passion for helping others led him to establish the Rechner Law Office in Honesdale as a sole proprietor general practice firm back in 2000. As a seasoned attorney, he has always been committed to providing top-notch legal services to his clients while upholding the highest ethical standards. Having worked tirelessly over the years, Hugh is proud of what his law office has become today - thanks in large part to the invaluable contributions of his daughter Christine Rechner who now oversees its day-to-day operations. Despite being born in Yugoslavia during WWII and growing up amidst political turmoil, Hugh's family managed to rebuild their lives after they became refugees and eventually arrived on American soil. This background has given Hugh unique insights into the legal issues facing people living in northeast Pennsylvania, where he was raised and attended primary school, making him an invaluable asset to anyone seeking expert guidance when dealing with complex legal matters.
