Camala A. Richardson

I came to Cam’s office 6 years after my divorce was finalized. My initial divorce proceedings spanned 3 years of mediation and then litigation that left me paralyzed and confined by a vague separation agreement and a vindictive and rigid ex-husband. Even after years of consultation, my two previous... attorneys were not able to account for a mother whose employment requires time at sea. Cam seemed to intuitively understand my circumstances, she empathized with the abuse and hostility I had been living in and was willing to fight for a woman’s right to have both a career and care for her children. After one year of negotiation, my case went to trial. In preparation for the trial, Cam was available at any hour. She really researched the case, going far back into history to re-create and document a timeline of events and complicated family circumstances. Cam was respectful of my wishes to minimize contact with an abusive ex-husband in the courthouse and worked systematically and consistently on my behalf during the trial. She was stellar in her approach and delivery of evidence and facts. Because of her brilliant cross-examination, I was not required to take the stand or say ONE WORD in my defense during the trial. In what I am told was an unprecedented event, the judge decided quickly in my favor and before I knew what was happening, we were signing a modification agreement that gave me everything I had hoped for. I couldn’t be happier. Cam gave me my life back.

When I was served with divorce papers, I was in shock. Cam helped me focus on what I needed and wanted to keep moving forward with me life. She helped me with a legal strategy while I was dealing with some raw emotions. She listened to me and she pushed me to stand my ground when needed. She help...ed me understand each step of what I went through and kept me informed. I was impressed with her attention and her willingness to meet with me when it wouldn't interfere with my work. My job is important to me and I was concerned about the time I was missing. Cam met with me around my work schedule. Her communication, understanding and strategy got me through what could have been a really nasty divorce. I never want to go through a divorce again but Cam helped make a really tough situation manageable and she helped me understand the legal terms in my words. I recommend her as the attorney to go through if you're going through a divorce!

Cam helped me through a contentious child custody issue. She was thorough, pro active, and always had my daughters best interest in the forefront. Cam updated me regularly, made every effort to resolve issues before going to court, and always provided honest helpful feedback. Prior to hiring Cam our ...lives ( my daughter and I) were in constant chaos due to the parenting circumstances. I'm happy to say life is now better for everyone. Cam was tremendous, considerate about my budget, and extremely effective.
