The Best Attorney I've Ever Had.

I came to richard when facing a tough & on going fight within Family Court for a support Violation & visitation modification. from the first time I met with richard & went over my cases as well as my experiences thus far with family court, He listened, Questioned, Gave legal advice. Most importa...ntly He DID NOT sell me a dream! As most lawyers do. In fact It was very humbling. With his advice I prepared for the worse and hoped for the best. Ive been going back and forth to court for over 4 years. Within my child support case I was seeking incarceration for my child's father who has willfully not paid child support in years. He has quit jobs as well as disclosed any employment he has had from child support enforcement. *Which is Illegal* He owed over 8 thousand dollars when my petition was filed. after many conferences with the magistrate, My child's father was all of sudden able to pay his child support. Yet & still paying on his own terms. His arrears decreased to 6 thousand dollars. At this point I lost all faith. I knew I needed representation, But my heart already had given up. Luckily this case was sent to a hearing. With richard by my side my faith was restored. His delivery Packed a powerful punch. after 2 Days of trial The magistrate gave my child's father 3 months incarceration. Once the case was sent to the judge, I can Honestly say Richard Brought It All Home! In the courtroom he spoke with such intensity & Facts that the judge could not deny his testimony. The judge then Increased the time for incarceration from 3 months to 4 months. Immediately I could Not Contain myself. I broke down in tears of joy. He then wrapped his arms around me and held me while I cried. Ive fought for a long time and endured so much pain and suffering & to finally have justice served, brought a great deal of appreciation & gratitude for Richard.

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.

Smart and personable family lawyer!!! I would recommend again and again

I am reading the bad reviews and they are not truthful or real. Richard is very smart and knows how to deal with family court from top to bottom hands down. He treats you like family and is always there for you with any help or guidance. He was there for my family and always has your best Interst in ...mind. I dont trust people easy but I trust Richard and just give him a call or set up a meeting with him and you will see what I am talking about. One thing I will say that having a lawyer is always a good first step but know the laws in family court and how things work before you blame a lawyer for things not moving fast. Most issues are within the broken family court system not the lawyer.
