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.

A knowledgable attorney, a caring counselor

Mr. Borzouye is a kind and understanding man who went above and beyond for me when helping me with my legal matter. I found him to be very knowledgable in the area of law that my case pertained to and he was very flexible in terms of being able to be reached day or night, he met me where it was conv...ienent for me, even if it wasn't in his usual office. In addition to his office in Brooklyn he has other satellite offices he was able to meet me in which is closer to my home. Most importantly he was very fair with his retainer agreement and let me make payments in installments which was very much appreciated. I always felt that Mr. Borzouye genuinely cared about me and my case and did his best to get the results we wanted. He is also easily reached, and although he can get busy he always returned my calls. I was cautious to hire an attorney who had been disciplined but Mr. Borzouye came highly recommended and when he explained why he was disciplined it really turned out not to affect my case or my impression of his capabilities. You will not regret hiring Mr. Borzouye, he is truly a smart and caring individual.

No need to look any further!

I would recommend Richard Borzouye with out a question! From day one he has been nothing but supportive and helpful. He always answers the phone unless he is in court. Mr. Borzouye always makes himself available to you like you are family. He has taken numerous hours out of his day to speak with me a...bout my case and explain every little detail. You can tell how much he cares because he never stops communication. He texts me every so often just to see how I'm doing. With all this being said he is a great lawyer and he has great pull with the people above. He was able to set up a meeting with the ADA with out even blinking an eye. Mr. Borzouye will do anything he can to help, and his fee is competitive and lower then most attorneys i met with.

I ran into a tough time in my life where I found myself in jail. I felt helpless, however I called Mr. Richard Borzouye and it's the greatest phone call I ever made. Mr. Borzouye immediately appeared at the jail and got me out. Richard literally dropped everything he was doing and got to the priso...n in under 30 minutes to get me out.

Due to Mr. Richard Borzouye's experience, knowledge, and expertise he assured me that he would get my criminal case dismissed, which he successfully did in record time. Richard proved to me, he is an honorable man of his word and a trusted attorney. Richard worked tirelessly on the case to get it dismissed quickly and efficiently.

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.
