Above the rest . . . put your freedom in his hands
Mr. Herman represented my family member in a criminal matter that could have resulted in a long incarceration. Mr. Herman navigated the system with professionalism and candor. He kept his client informed every step of the way. Without his expertise, our family member could have been behind bars, away from his family. We are so thankful for Mr. Herman's representation. Highly recommend!

Horrible Attorney
Richard B. Herman sold me out to the federal government. He was my attorney in a federal case & after paying him hundreds of thousands he stopped all representation when the money ran out. I even gave him a couple of Rolex Watches. He ripped several other clients off that were being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Several clients filed complaints with the New York State Bar Association & were preparing to file a class action lawsuit against him. Don't believe any of the hype about him.

White collar crime Attorney | Mar 30
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have known Richard B. Herman for the past 15 years. During that time, I have had occasion to observe his lawyering skills, both inside and out of the courtroom. I have also had the opportunity to work with Mr. Herman on various cases, in particular complex litigation matters. In my opinion, Mr. Herman is of the highest moral character and unequivocally one of the fiercest cross-examiners I have witnessed in any trial. Mr. Herman has gained the respect of his fellow attorneys and the Judges before whom he appears. I am proud to call him both a colleague and a friend"
