Honest, fair, knowledgeable and fast

I got to know attorney Rapice when i was searching online for legal help for a tenant landlord case. When I called him, he was super attentive and spent so much time to hear my case, he then provided me with the most honest evaluation of my case. He was extremely professional and went out of his way to help me settle the case with the defendant. He had numerous phone calls with the defendant's lawyers and could successfully negotiate a settlement at a much higher value than I expected. The best thing about him is that he is not there to waste your time or drag your case through court, he is here to HELP YOU! I'm so glad with him and wother him and highly recommend that you speak with him before hiring any other attorney.

I wish he were closer so that he could represent us!

Richard reached out to me as soon as I posted my question and asked that I call him for assistance. He was able to provide me with as much as guidance as possible. Richard successfully put my mind at ease after providing me with a few different options and paths I could take. Although he was unable to represent us due to the distance he provided me with potential attorneys that could assist me in my situation. Richard was still reaching out days after he gave me another attorney's number to confirm we have been receiving assistance through that other avenue! I am very pleased with his concern and empathy.

Great follow-up

Had a foreclosure question. Richard left a reply over the weekend, answered a follow-up question by email on Monday and offered to take the time to discuss over the phone Monday evening. Clear and helpful over the phone. Would recommend.
