Maurice J Ringel

Maury represented my son for a probable cause hearing, regarding a complaint that was completely fabricated against my son and had no validity. Maury provided great advice, was well organized, and helped keep my son focused on the needs for his case. Everything he predicted came true, the complaint... was tossed before it was even heard in court, after Maury met with the detective and the Magistrate. He is upfront, skilled, knowledgeable, he listens to concerns, and he knows what he is doing. I think this other reviewer perhaps had no case, or was not reasonable, maybe he wanted things his way instead of taking Maury's advice. Whatever the reason, he is completely wrong about Maury and I highly, highly recommend his services.

I had a very tough child custody case on my hands -- two children to be exact, and a now ex-spouse who was making our lives unbearable. Attorney Ringel educated me fully about the process, empowered me to make informed choices under difficult circumstances, and delivered results that exceeded my expe...ctations. He was universally respected by court personnel, the judge and even my ex's lawyer. His fees were more than reasonable. He was always there for me, with a very kind and sympathetic approach. He calmed me during the stormy moments, and lifted me up from depressing times. But the bottom line is that he delivered a parenting plan for me and my children that was better than I had expected, cost less than I planned for, and was done more quickly than I expected. If you want a seasoned, family lawyer who is honest and trustworthy and good for his word, this is the attorney for you. He gives free initial consultations, so I'd urge you to check him out.

The only skill that is worthy of mention is his amazing ability to talk good game in his office. Once we walked into the courtroom, he was obviously intimidated by the judge and seemed INCAPABLE of thinking on his feet, getting flustered whenever things in court switched gears. He did not speak for m...e in court and honestly I felt like I wasn't even there. I would have been better off without him and almost $3000 richer. His prices are fairly reasonable which is why we went with him, but clearly it reflects the service. He did NOTHING for my case accept maybe make things worse. He kept trying to make me feel better by telling me that the judge "respected" him. My fear is that Mr. Ringel may have respect confused with pity. My suggestion? Keep looking.
