Richard Hyman - Caring & Effective Lawyer

I hired Richard for my personal injury claim when I was rear-ended in a car accident. He helped me through the process every step of the way; he advised me on the process, how long/short things may take in the process, ensured my medical was covered, filed forms and correspondences between parties e...ffectively and professional to get my claim heard, reviewed and paid.

Excellent services for my personal bankruptcy case

Richard was knowledgeable and patient, making the pain of my personal bankruptcy easier to deal with. He was readily available, very well organized, professional. Highly recommend.

Successful Workman's Comp case

I had the pleasure of working with Richard in a complicated WC case. He was always professional, always clearly explained what I could expect, was always well-prepared, always thoroughly prepared ME and always reachable. These points are very important because when you hire a lawyer, you enter a cas...e as a 'team'. The case was adjudicated over a period of 2 years; we won the case and the appeal. Very, very satisfied with my representation and would recommend him without reservation.

A better result than I had hoped for

Once I contacted Richard Hyman about my injured neck I no longer had to deal with the insurance adjuster or case manager. At this time I was dealing with other very stressful health concerns but with Richard on my case my stress level drop drastically. Once we got a court date and were in front of th...e judge he commented three different times that I had hired a very good lawyer. The settlement was better than I had hoped for. So in ending I couldn't think of a better recommendation than the judges comments and the settlements out come.

Helpful, detailed with your case, and down to earth

I found myself in a very difficult situation and did not know where to turn. I wanted an attorney who listened to me and cared about my situation. Rick certainly turned out to be just that attorney. He came highly recommended and I soon saw as I met with him why. He helped me with my case every step... of the way, explaining things as they came up. What I was especially appreciative of was he always got back with my by the day's end on any questions I had. He took that extra time I felt to answer all of my questions and there were alot! I would highly recommend Rick. He worked hard for me.
