Posted by Katlyn | January 21, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Pre Nuptial Agreement

My partner and I knew we wanted a prenup before getting married, and we wrote up a “plain language” version of what we hoped to see / get out of the final legal document. Rick was an invaluable resource, asking clarifying questions, answering anything I was curious or unsure about, and making sure he... appraised me of the implications of exactly the way the contract was worded. He was extremely kind, helpful, and clear. His paralegal, Leslie, was also extraordinarily helpful and patient, managing details and keeping me appraised of updates. Rick is not inexpensive to hire, but I felt confident and justified in my decision to do so, as I was treated with respect, kindness, and received great counsel (literally).

Exceptional Family Attorney

Rick is extremely knowledgeable on the law and procedure. He handled my divorce and custody case quickly and efficiently. Rick and his staff were extremely courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Rick. I could not have had a better attorney by my side, especially given the sensitive ...nature of my case.

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.

  • 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.
