Posted by Delvis bobe | August 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Hello

I hired Richard to do my divorce and he didn't do the job to my satisfaction , cause once he received the papers back from the exwife he was telling me that he was going to take them to court and never did. So now I'm trying to get my money back from him that I paid him and it's been more than 2 year...s and he still hasn't paid me back my money he keeps telling me excuses, so I recommend not to hire him for any type of work that you need to be done he won't finish the work and if he needs to pay you he won't pay you when he suppose to pay you.

This "man" is a LIAR- not a Lawyer

Where do I begin. Richard Borzouye is a liar. He assured me that he had experience in family law. Since he was recommended, I believed him. He insisted on getting paid first; once he was paid, he stopped working. He has stood me up for court dates-last court date he didn't show up at all. My case was... dismissed because of that. He wouldn't return my phone calls.

Excellent and Trustworthy Attorney

My co-op sent a complaint letter threatening legal action against me due to dogs on the property. These allegations, which were completely false and unfounded, were shot down by Mr. Borzouye's professional and effective certified letter which stated that any further threats would be defended vehemen...tly. Approximately four months have passed since this complaint occurred, and I've had no further problems, complaints or harrassment from the co-op's management. I would highly recommed Mr. Borzouye to anyone who has similar problems or is in need of legal counsel.

Richard D. Borzouye Helps Family From Being Victimized by a Fraudulent Claim in Supreme Court

Richard D. Borzouye was the attorney for my family which I found him on Craigslist.com. Mr. Borzouye defended my family in which we were victims in a lawsuit filed against us by the plaintiff's attorneys in Suffolk County Supreme Court of New York which not only were we being sued in an excess of app...roximately $25k (not consisting of interest or penalties but, recycled invoices used at different amounts) but also, $20k for "reasonable" attorneys fees. The day before we were scheduled to go out to the Suffolk County Supreme Court for a status conference, the plaintiff's attorneys had sent Mr. Borzouye a text message saying that the status conference had been rescheduled for a another date. Mr. Borzouye immediately called and informed us about the message expressing his disbelief that the status conference was not rescheduled due to the fact that he didn't get any word from the court. Now, coming from Queens, Suffolk County Supreme Court is quite a drive especially if the status conference was rescheduled but, Mr. Borzouye confidently insisted that we make the trip anyway in which we didn't question him, we trusted what he was advising us. So, we went out to Suffolk County Supreme Court, and it turns out...THE STATUS CONFERENCE WAS NOT RESCHEDULED, IT WAS FOR THAT DAY!!! Mr. Borzouye immediately informed the court that he was told via text message by the plaintiff's attorneys that the status conference was rescheduled and that they have advanced false statements to the court. At that time, Mr. Borzouye was called into the Judge's chambers. When he came out, he walked over to my family and I and told us the outcome that I didn't even imagine, that the Judge has dismissed the plaintiff's case without prejudice due to plaintiff's attorneys advancement of false statements to the court. Although dismissed without prejudice, the plaintiff never refiled their suit. Mr. Borzouye's competence, diligence, and knowledge of the law saved my family from having to pay a fraudulant debt, in which we were more than ready if we had to, to provide all necessary evidence to show the plaintiff's fraudulent and frivolous debt. Mr. Borzouye kept in constant contact with us in the interim of the plaintiff's suit since it was filed up to the date when Mr. Borzouye had the plaintiff's suit dismissed. He kept us informed and comfortable, and without even giving him the benefit of the doubt, we were confident that he was the attorney to do right by us, defend us, and ultimately yet, unexpectedly get the plaintiff's suit dismissed.
