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.

THE WORLD'S MOST RELIABLE ATTORNEY THAT GETS THE RESULTS CLIENTS NEED AND WANT

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. I was extremely impressed by his ability, power and connections. I was in a holding cell and Richard got me out before people that were in line to get out before me.

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. The service that he provided and the results that he got me are priceless and he's worth everything.

Posted by anonymous | October 19, 2011 | Child Custody

all Around Good Lawyer

Richard has represented my husband and I several times in Child Custody cases. We have been dealing with Richard since 2009 when he first represented my husband in a child visitation case. My husband's X-wife was upset he had moved on and decided that she no longer wanted my husband to see his son.... Richard sat down with us and explained our rights and truly got to know us so that he could properly defend/represent us in court. At the court date Richard was clearly prepared to defend our rights as the non-custodial parent. Richard was able to get the judge to understand my husbands needs and desires to be a good father and the judge granted my husband a better visitation scenario than my husband had had. On the next few cases brought up against my husband Richard used his two sense and profound legal background to just have the motions dismissed in court. Things have been pretty quiet in our lives as of lately but Richard still checks in on us every few months to make sure that all the court orders are being obeyed and that we are happy and well. I recommend Richard to anyone looking for a Fair, Caring, Knowledgeable Lawyer that is going to be straight with you good or bad and stand by your side thru every step. Tannia & Manny

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.
