Excellent, Ethical and very Knowledgeable Attorney

Had a very complicated case, Real Estate partition. However, it wasn't a clear / straight partition, had a few exemption to the law. Before Mr Apat took the case, he carefully reviewed the case and met several times until he was confident that he was representing me morally, ethically and lawfully. S...ince opposing party refused to settle, Mr Apat prep me for trial. He was very detailed, gathered all documents to make sure everything was covered and not to have any surprises. I have to say, during the trial prep, I was a little terrified (lol) but he wanted to make sure I'm strong and confident of the case we represent. Another key point for me, the case was expensive, but Mr Apat worked with me (payment plan) and I can't expressed my appreciation enough. My Apat doesn't represent his client only for a pay check, but he represents his client for their rights, entitlement and beliefs within the law. I would highly recommend Mr Apat. Not only does he represents his clients lawfully, ethically, morally but he puts his heart and soul in doing so. I couldn't put a price on the peace of mind I got after he successfully represented me. Mr Apat is a great and excellent attorney!

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Apat!

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Apat. We had a real estate litigation case from h*ll.s It was a traumatizing experience to say the least. I interviewed numerous attorneys, but it was clear to me that Mr. Apat thinks of every possible angle and I felt completely safe with him as our attorney.... His motions were air tight, he leaves no door open for the opposition. I believe his years of experience in litigation on the personal injury side makes him ideally suited for real estate litigation. His tactics remind me of The Art of War. I hope you never find yourself in litigation, but if you do, this is the guy to represent you.

Exceptional Trial Attorney

Richard Apat represented me in litigation in a commercial context and he exhibited excellent skills in defending me and dismantling the plaintiffs case piece by piece. Richard, his support staff and his firm were responsive to my inquiries and they were dedicated all through the process. The case wa...s tried by Richard and he worked around the clock, weekends and evenings to prepare. I was impressed with his dedication and his trial skills. Based on my experience with Richard, he is a professional, ethical, competent and very effective Attorney. I would recommend him to either represent you as a plaintiff or a defendant in a civil case.

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Apat is the one of the best lawyers I have ever worked with. He saved me from having one of the biggest losses I was going to have from my business. I was in a situation where I was going to be bankrupt, and I consulted many lawyers but none of them were able to help me out. Then I consulted with... Mr. Apat and he was able to work with me and win my case. I was at point where I was getting $0 from my case, with him he got to a amount that I wanted and deserved. Hes a lawyer who is available at any reasonable given time of the day through any form of communication. He pays attention to you and the needs & details of the case. One thing I really liked about him was his professionalism .He doesn't make rash decisions, instead he consults with many other lawyers to see all the options we have, eventhough he's been in practice for many years. Also, his staff is very intelligent and they know what to do if he isn't in office. I can't thank him enough for what he did for me. I would recommend everyone looking for a lawyer to hire him. He will be worth it at the end.
