He's a good guy !!!!!

Richard is a real down to earth lawyer. Always felt comfortable with him. He knows what he can do for you and doesn't give you false hope just to string you along. If he thinks you are asking for more than what is reasonable ,he will tell you just how it is! He knows his game! He is always profession...al and courteous. . Highly recommended!!!

Excellent lawyer, less stressful divorce

I was very impressed with Richard's professionalism and competence during my divorce. His legal knowledge and expertise as well as his ability to advantageously diffuse conflict and stress while getting the proper cooperation of my ex and his lawyer significantly avoided additional problems. His... strategic approach was well calibrated to my temperament as well as to achieving the right outcome for me, which showed me he had good intuition and flexibility in understanding my case. His advice was right on the mark for what was necessary and beneficial to me especially at a time when I was stressing and in doubt about what to do. In addition, both he and his assistant were attentive and kind during this very difficult time in my life. They kept me well informed and addressed all my concerns with great consideration and promptness. I highly recommend him.

Wonderful Lawyer

Richard A. Outhwaite represented me through my divorce. I have never felt more confident in an attorney. He handled my case with diligence and compassion, making sure I am protected from every angle and attentive to my needs. He gave me a sense of security that everything was going to be alright and ...i will get through this tough time in my life. Richard was incredibly informative and happy to answer any and every question that may have crossed my mind. He and his staff were nothing but pleasant and supportive. I am very happy that I was referred to Richard. I cannot imagine going through this process without someone as efficient, knowledgeable, and professional as Richard. Throughout the entire process I was always kept informed in a timely manner. I would recommend Richard A. Outhwaite to anyone looking for a lawyer or even just legal advice. My friends that used him as an Divorce Attorney cannot thank me enough for the recommendation.

Richard Outhwaite

Richard was highly recommend to me during my divorce. I had tried several other lawyers and was unsuccessful. I found Richard to be very knowledgeable of the NJ laws, fair, honest and guided me to the proper conclusions. I had been struggling to resolve my divorce and when meeting Richard, within 5 ...months my divorce was settled. Richard has a very calming personality and knows when to turn up the heat... I would highly recommend Richard.

Complete Confidence

Richard and his assistant Lori gave me a complete feeling of confidence in them. They kept me informed as to all that was going on and I never felt any disappointment. Richard fought hard for me due to the unique circumstances of my case. At the end I came out better than I have ever imagined. They s...till keep in touch just to say hi and see how I am doing. If I ever need a lawyer again I will be at Richards doorstep. The question below is would I recommend them, I already have!
