Richard Roman Shum

I had a terribly distressing problem with the management company, tried to tackle it myself, which was a mistake. A friend recommended I take a lawyer and recommended Mr. Shum. The professionalism in which Mr. Shum tackled my problem was beyond words. No only did he save money for me, but also was ki...nd all the way. It was the best decision I took. I highly recommend working with him!

Rich Shum was hired by me in May of 2019. I was in crisis with my husband and had no idea how to proceed. I hired him because I knew, when I first talked with him that he wouldn’t take my case lightly, nor would I be given a formulaic approach. He was able to quickly reassure me with his understa...nding of the law and how he could help to diffuse my situation. I trusted him as a good person when he said that the most important aspect of the case was to protect and support our children. He was able to get a unique settlement for me in under six months time. Rich was pointed and sharp when need be, but he also has a heart. I walked away with what was needed to ensure my children’s safety and well being for their lifetime, physical custody and a strong ability to exert protective control over visitation if need be. I am so grateful!

Richard has been our co-op's attorney for almost four years now, and has proven to be very knowledgeable, professional, and motivated. His counsel is always very thorough and clear. Since we hired him, his stewardship of our recent contracts has our co-op functioning more efficiently than ever before....

I hired Richard to work on some Real Estate matters for me. I was very impressed with how astute, detail oriented and methodical Richard is with his work. He is experienced, technically proficient, highly effective and an excellent negotiator, who is proactive and knows the law inside and out. Ric...hard kept me informed regularly and was responsive to all my requests and queries. All the traits that any good lawyer worth his salt should possess. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the matter and I highly recommend Richard for your Real Estate matters.

Richard's considerable knowledge, intuition and intelligence were all brought to bear while heading our entertainment company's Legal Department. Richard masterfully negotiated licensing deals with major film studios, production companies and record labels. He also managed litigation prep, handled ...royalty administration and oversaw IP valuations. When the position called for aggressive action Richard was very effective, pursuing instances of copyright infringement and protecting our company's assets in other ways. But he also knew when to be circumspect and conciliatory when managing our delicate ongoing business relationships. It was a pleasure working with Richard and I was always impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. I would enthusiastically recommend Richard for a wide range of legal needs.
