An unfortunate experience that cost me $40,000.00

Scott Richman was a total disappointment. I hired him for a civil litigation lawsuit, From the beginning, he involved other attorneys in my case with increased the cost significantly. It was my impression he did not have the knowledge or assertiveness a good attorney should have. Still, I had him for... another year hoping to get results before I terminated services with his office. I then hired a new attorney who told me in the first meeting more information Mr. Richman gave me in one year. One thing Mr. Richman did well, he sent me exorbitant invoices. I spent over $40,000.00 and had no results. I’m glad I was able to move on from this horrible experience. I would not like to anyone to go through something similar. I don’t recommend Scott Richman to anyone.

It was reassuring to know we were in such capable hands. Once again, thank you for your hard work and for being a guiding light for my family and me. We are incredibly grateful for your support and professionalism. Wishing you continued blessings, Juliana

Beyond 5 stars! Best attorney we've ever used

Scott is the best attorney our company has ever used. He helped our general contracting firm solve a tricky and challenging problem with speed, efficiency and professionalism. His knowledge and attention to detail go well beyond this 5 star rating. He is exceptional at what he does and I would hig...hly recommend him. In the past 4 weeks, Scott was able to address and solve our problem while navigating the Covid stricken court system. Completely impressed and we can rest easy we have him on our side going forward.

Fantastic and Attentive Experience with Scott

Scott Richman is the man. I had an issue with both an apartment management company and a former roommate, and Scott handled everything confidently and with professionalism. Even better, he was so responsive and reachable. I was able to speak with him when needed, including nights and weekends. He alw...ays had a rational and reasonable justification for everything that he recommended, and was completely open to hearing my thoughts and feedback and taking them into account when performing the work that he did. Scott saved me thousands of dollars by handling my situation without going to court, and for that, I'm entirely grateful. If you're looking for an attorney to have your back, call Scott, and know that he will get the job done.

Very helpful and caring attorney

Scott Richman was highly recommended to me by a family member of mine. He was very helpful in walking us through the whole process of what to expect as we were looking to be compensated for my daughter’s injury in a car accident . Mr. Richman a answered all of my questions, emails, phone calls in a... speedily manner. I would highly recommend Mr. Richman to anyone that is looking for a caring and interested lawyer.
