Richard Roman Shum

I had a bad experience with Mr Shum, he was recommended by another attorney and I should have done more research. He charged me twice for "prep for appearance" but I feel he was unprepared at court and did not represent me as well as other attorneys have in the past. After the court appearance wh...en I emailed him asking information he insisted I send him more money to a retainer and only then he would answer me, this was after me paying him over $3000 in attorney fees in a simple back payment for child support, and one time appearance, I will not be using Mr Schum again. again.

When I contacted Mr. Shum I was in the middle of a surreal case that made me feel unsafe in my own apartment and radically shook my emotional space. I had to act fast and I talked to several lawyers over a few days. I was clueless about rates and ways to operate but I usually know when not to tru...st, and many of them sounded untrustworthy, interested only in their own profit. Mr. Shum was clear from the beginning about what he could do, he explained the case from the point of view of the law and choosing him as my lawyer immediately took a load off my shoulders. He’s tough and to the point, which helped solve the case and helped me think clearly and proactively in a moment of distress. I’d recommend him to anyone who might need his expertise, without hesitation.

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!
