Miss you Jay

Law was never the same without you.

We were very sad to hear the news of your loss. The Astros games won't be the same without him. He was truly a great man with great accomplishments! We are honored to have walked with him in our journey of life. God Bless you and your family!

Susan, Michael, Phillip,

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayer are with you all. I last spoke to Jay a year ago when he offered to help in my son adoption by my husband. He was very generous and kind. I emailed him at the firm on 3-24-08 to let him know that I myself without an attorney, finalized the adoption on 3-24-08. Jay is the one that gave me the strength to the challenge and I wanted him to know but it did not happen. He was no longer with the firm. Michael its...

To Susan and Family - I had the pleasure of many, many years of working with Jay. He was always there to help get a client out of a legal jam. Jay was very proud of his family and always bragged about his boys and later his Grandson. Jay had a funny, quirky sense of humor. And he was kind. I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Jay will be missed.

He was a good hard working man that gave an opportunity to young lawyers to do what they wanted to do: get to trial. Great memories that will live on but the man will be missed. b' shalom

You and your family are in my prayers.
With much respect and love for you and your family.

Dear Family;

I worked for Mr. Hirsch for a year and even after I left I stayed in contact with him and Zach. He was tough but had a heart of gold. He tought me a lot and for that I am greatfull. I loved and respected him very much. I will deeply miss him as will the entire legal community.

I will include him and your entire family in my prayers.

Susan, I never met you but often heard about you. I worked medical malpractice claims for a California insurer and for four years was involved with Jay on Houston cases. He became a friend and I am sorry to hear of his passing. When I thought of Jay, I recalled two experiences. One,was in 2002,when we were sitting in a Houston restaurant talking about a NY carrier I worked for in the early 80's. Sittting in their office, I overheard a VP of claims screaming at a claim manager in Houston about...
