About Richard
Biography
On another website, a Manhattan doctor for whom I prepared a prenuptial agreement said of me, "Really excellent counsel. Absolutely trustworthy. Gives serious consideration to issues without undue concern for billable time. Readily available and easily contacted. Great negotiator. Pleasant to work with." Outside the law, my interests are classical French cooking, symphonic and choral music, and reading anything from Raymond Chandler to a physics textbook; I have tutored elementary school kids in math, and was for some years the Sunday School superintendent at my church.
