Not recommended

Hello , Not recommended for divorce lawyer in Massachusetts. Once the lawyer was paid in full , the lack of follow up happened, how this case was going was not in the best interest of the client

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A divorce lawyer who is calm, professional, and effective

My ex was doing everything she could to delay the divorce. Her "consulting lawyer" (not "lawyer") was telling her she could get most of my assets. We were heading towards a contested divorce. My ex finally decided to fire her lawyer and sat down with me, my daughter, and Richard. He had the most rela...xed, non-confrontational style. Took everything she said seriously, gave his professional opinion on what would result, and in a few hours we came to an agreement on an uncontested divorce. Four months later everything was done. Yes, my wife got a bit more than half, but that was my choice not Richard's recommendation. What I wanted most, and what he achieved, was an uncontested divorce we could both live with. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He took us from an impasse to a settlement by coming into our home on a Saturday. He did what he needed to do to get the results I wanted.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
