Richard George Fonfrias’s Reviews

I was concerned I wouldn't be able to get chapter 7 relief. I did and I owe it all to Rich. He is a honorable attorney (rare in my experience).

Our very first meeting with Attorney Fonfrias left us feeling that we had chosen the "right" attorney. He was warm, compassionate, reassuring, and quite knowledgeable. He helped dispel the "guilt" that we were carrying, although we knew we had no other recourse due to an unforeseen and unexpected loss of income.

Unlike what we perceived from another attorney while considering him for the job, we perceived that Mr. Fonfrias had our very best interest at heart after the very first consultation; he has been a man of his word! He did not do a "rush" job on us. He worked hard to ensure that we received the very best payment plan for our particular financial situation.

There is nothing like honest ratings/reviews from ordinary people. We would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Fonfrias to anyone requiring his services.

Thank you Attorney Fonfrias! Continue to serve the people "from the heart!"

Richard is professional and knowledgeable to provide sound advice and legal counsel. He helped me to navigate a complex set of issues that needed careful balance between bankruptcy and parallel divorce issues. Richard answered all my questions throughout the process and was a strong advocate in representing my best interests from start to finish.

i was in a very bad financial time. I had gone to 5 different lawyers looking for options on bankruptcy. All of them told me my only option was a chapter 13 bankruptcy. They also said I would have to make payments of six to a thousand dollars a month for the next five years. I new there was no way i could make those payments. Then I met Richard. I explained my financial hardship to him. He asked me questions over the phone so I wouldnt have to take any time off. He told me I could do a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I could always call or email him with any concerns and if he didnt answer would always get back to me within 15 min Weather it was to answer a question or just make me feel better about the situation Richard was always right there. It really amazed me how other lawyers told me i couldnt do a chapter 7 and Richard made it happen. He is a very truthful and honest lawyer. I would recommend Richard to everyone

Rich is a Lawyer you can trust. He helped me file my Chapter 7 and he gave me the pros and cons of filing for bankruptcy. He made my process pain-free and quite easy. I recommend anyone thinking of filing for bankruptcy should schedule an interview with Rich.

Rich gave us straight forward information without sugar coating the situation or the outcome. He let us know exactly what to expect and made sure that we had all the proper and documentation to make our case succinct and successful.

Bankruptcy is a life-changing event and something I thought I would never have to do. Working with Rich made me more comfortable about the option of bankruptcy which made my financial responsibilities easy to manage. Rich communicated with me in a timely manner and he definitely put my mind at ease. Even though my case has been settled, Rich continues to follow up with me to make sure everything is working out. He was, and still is, available when I have questions or concerns. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Rich.

I am actively working with Rich Fonfrias at this time. I understand my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case is to be filed within days. I have been very pleased with Rich Fonfrias' services and that of his staff to date.

We have been dealing with Rich for a very personal reason, and he has been nothing but the best in both his trust and commitment to us!

When I first met Rich He listened to what I needed, and did not mention anything about his fees! He wanted to see how he could help me first. After that was established we laid out several options for me. Rich gave me his undivided attention and answered every question I had, it was as if I was speaking with a Life long friend, and i just met the guy! My first impression was a very good one and I could not be more pleased. I have worked with attorney's in the past , but I have not met anyone as sincere and helpful as Rich!

This was scary for us and Richard not only served as our lawyer, but also coached us, was patient with us, and helped us through one of the hardest things we've ever done.

Bankruptcy is a very sensitive issue. The reason an individual files can be for a variety of economic circumstances known only to them and their lawyer. Getting prompt attention before and after filing is quite important. Mr. Fonfrias makes sure he answers all e-mails and phone calls on the same day. He also hires staff that is reflective of his mission and an extension of himself--kind and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone who must make that critical decision in their life.

Richard very promptly answered every single question I had regarding Chapter 13 bankruptcy with a level of patience that is far above the norm! He and his staff are extremely kind and very professional in assisting their clients with every last detail in preparation for and the actual filing of your bankruptcy case. Richard is a very nice guy and extremely hardworking. I highly recommend him!

Richard will promptly answer any and all questions with a level of professionalism and patience that is beyond the norm. He is knowledgable and willing to do his very best for his clients. His staff is just as curteous and professional and during the difficult process of filing for bankruptcy this means quite alot. I highly recommend him!

“Rich is a reliable, hardworking guy who pays great attention to detail.”
“Rich is very thorough and pays great attention to detail. He’s a reliable, hardworking guy who will still be working long after everyone else has turned the lights off and gone home. Rich has a great personality and works well with people. Plus, he’s a terrific lawyer. He and I have been long-time friends and I have also been his client. I would certainly refer him to anyone who wants to solve financial problems.”

“Richard and I met while I was working on a project which required writing skills in the area of bankruptcy for a publishing product. He presented himself professionally and with great knowledge that was exactly on target for our needs. I appreciated the fact that he balanced his expertise in a manner and language which were clear to non-attorney participants.” March 23, 2009
