Excellent attorney. Very knowledgeable, will put you at ease and go above and beyond!

I hired Mr Blumenthal after he was referred to me by a family member I trust. I was going thru a stressful bankruptcy and was looking for someone that I could count on to help me thru the process. Mr Blumenthal was easy to contact, quick to respond, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in every que...stion I had. Not only did he answer all my questions, but he took the time on his own to look into things that might benefit me before I even asked about them. It’s nice to hire a lawyer and in the end feel like you got your money’s worth. If you are looking for someone you can trust who will get the job done and walk you thru the unfortunate process of dealing with a bankruptcy, this is your guy!

An Excellent Lawyer - A Good Person

Attorney Richard Blumenthal helped us file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Everything worked out perfectly. The need to file for bankruptcy was a difficult time in our life. The process was made much easier by Mr. Blumenthal's genuine concern for our well-being. He is an extremely knowledgeable and careful... lawyer who worked with great dedication on our behalf. We are very grateful to him.

Rick Blumenthal

Rick was patient, professional, non-judgmental and supportive in guiding us through what to us was a very bleak and hard financial quagmire. He helped us decide what was best for us while pointing out the many detailed points of law without ever making us feel bad about the situation we were in and ...gave us encouragement about our financial future. We would highly recommend him without reservation.

"Rick Blumenthal has an encyclopedic knowledge of bankruptcy law and applies his knowledge creatively to the benefit of his clients. He is full of great ideas and has the legal precedents to back up his approach at his fingertips. He is extremely generous in offering his time and expertise to lawyers, like myself, who practice in allied areas (in my case collections/enforcement of judgments) where bankruptcy issues are implicated. He is also generous with his time in speaking to potential clients. I know that I can feel secure that my clients will get competent and caring representation when I refer them to Rick Blumenthal."
