About Richard
Biography
Our philosophy is to take a “problem solving” approach to divorces. That way, we are much more likely to achieve custom tailored solutions. It also reduces the overall stress levels and legal fees. At the same time, our job is to vigorously protect our clients and their children’s needs, and we will do so. We never lose sight of our goal in ensuring that all of those needs are met, and that our clients and children receive everything they are entitled to in a divorce and beyond.
