Caring and competent

Gene was very personable and honest in approaching our case. He was diligent in doing what needed to be done and put us at ease.

Posted by Jennifer | October 28, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Family

The most exceptional Family Lawyer and rising star.

Mr. Richards is not just exceptional at what he does he’s extremely knowledgeable. I hired Mr. Richards for a case I had with Dcpp. From the moment I hired Mr. Richards he dived in and seen all the things that were not making sense. There was never a time that I could not reach him either by phone or... email. I have hired other attorneys for these matters before they have all told me they would get things done in a certain time .But yet they dragged it out and winded up draining me for a lot of money. Mr. Richards is not like that he has compassion for what you’re going through and knows how serious it is. He also does look to get it done as quick as possible so that you don’t have to spend so much money knowing how sensitive these matters are. He did exactly what he said he would do and that was get this case closed as quick as possible. I will say it again he is an exceptional lawyer if you need a Family Lawyer please look no further. Mr. Richard is extremely straightforward in the most respectful and compassionate way he won’t tell you what he want to hear he will tell you what you need to hear. He will also definitely get the job done. That’s what he did for me. I’ve never taken the time to write a review but I had to for Mr. Richards what he has done for me and my child I will forever be grateful for. Thank you Mr. Richards

Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Mr. Richards. He was sympathetic and very helpful. He was able to resolve my case quickly and achieved the result I was hoping for.

Recommendation of Gene Richards

Gene was recommended to us when we were going through a DCPP investigation. He was an amazing lawyer, very thorough and most importantly thoughtful and patient as we were navigating this difficult time. He always made himself available for all the questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the p...ositive outcome of our investigation all thanks to Gene.
