Excellent divorce attorney

I was referred to Rick by a close friend who knew I was headed down the divorce path and needed guidance. From my very first consultation with Rick I knew he was the right attorney for me. He put me at ease and dealt in facts and bullet points, which I very much needed at the time. Laid out in bro...ad terms what I can expect going thru this process and he was correct in all aspects and stages. Told me the 4 or 5 things that can prolong a divorce. Told me where I had "exposure" and we dealt with worst case scenarios and then peeled back the level of probability based on my own individual case. And the bonus with hiring Rick is working closely with his paralegal, Isabel! She's a real treasure. Was super supportive, organized and kept me on task. Even gave me pep talks when I thought the financial disclosure process would never end! If you're looking for a competent, skilled, divorce attorney who will always have your best interest at heart, and who surrounds himself with the best team.....look no further....You've found him! (I'd say I'd like to use him again, but I don't ever plan on getting married again...let alone divorced! LOL)

Long drawn out divorce

I hired Rick to help me finish my divorce, after battling with my ex for over 2 years and going no where. Exhausted from the process, but so glad to have have had Rick and His paralegal Isabel on my side. Rick is organized, calm, patient and intelligent. He explained things in ways I was forced to... understand and helped me feel confident in the decisions I was making. He answered all my questions in a kind response, promptly responded to my many emails. He moved the process along and finally got me an end I was happy and content with. Rick comes highly recommended by me!

Prenuptial Agreement and Divorce Counseling

I obtained the legal services of Rick Richardson to draw up a Prenuptial Agreement originally. After 15 years of Marriage , the decree held up with three different Attorneys attempting to break it up. I hired Rick to consult with during the one year long Mediation process. His excellent counseling ...helped me considerably to a more positive outcome. I would recommend Rick highly for his work. Scott.

Came highly recommended: I now know why!

After asking around my home town, Rick Richardson (and his firm) came very highly recommended to me by several different reputable/ professional people. After meeting with him for the first time, I immediately could see why. He clearly knows his field of law, and is very good about explaining it to t...he common layperson (in friendly and forthright manner). Rick has represented me in what has turned out to be an exceptionally difficult and challenging divorce, and I am so grateful I picked him as my attorney. He has been polite, prompt, informative, dedicated, kind, compassionate, smart, swift, sincere and successful. He has excellent communication skills, and a good sense of humor. Additionally, Rick is very hard working, has good people skills and is intelligent. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are getting divorced, you definitely want Attorney Richardson on your side.

Integrity with dignity

I wish I did not need an attorney and I searched a while until I decided to team with Rick Richardson. Divorce is life changing, to say the very least. It is a process that I would not want anyone to have to experience. Unfortunately, it is happening way too often in our culture. That being said,... I have grown over the last year as a result and working with Rick has, in an unusual way, caused my growth to be positive, despite the difficulty of the circumstances. I know I will move forward and will continue to look back and realize, even more so, how blessed I was to have Attorney Randolf Richardson, II, aka "Rick" by my side through this time in my life... Highly recommend him - and this is the only review of this type I have ever done.

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.
