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.

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. I felt very special and honored knowing I was in the best of hands and hired the right attorney. 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. I was so impressed by how he was completely there for me and his results guaranteed driven approach that I hired him for 2 more cases that he is currently doing for me custody and child support. I feel blessed that I've been fortunate to meet and have the opportunity to be represented by lawyer Mr. Richard Darius Borzouye. You should see how Mr. Borzouye performs in the courtroom. He's an incredible speaker and a powerful, persuading and talented trial attorney. Richard takes proper care of his clients and gets the results we need. Richard is the only lawyer for me. I dearly appreciate his representation for our 2 current cases, and whenever I need an attorney again I know he will be there for me to accomplish the job and get the results I need. Whether at criminal or family court, Richard is an accomplished lawyer that always does his absolute best to get the job done quickly and efficiently so that he saves his clients time, money and gets the results we want. Richard is a great person on top of being a top attorney, and a sincere person that clients really appreciate. If you want a dedicated, talented, trustworthy, hardworking and determined lawyer that gets results for his clients, Richard Darius Borzouye is the attorney for you because he is for me. His expertise, knowledge and service will blow any attorney away. I highly recommend Richard Borzouye attorney at law to get the job done for you.

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

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.

Great Attorney To Work With

I had a federal lawsuit against my small business for terminating a customer's hosting account for sending multiple SPAM emails from our servers. We warned the client that we would have to terminate his account if he continued to send SPAM from our servers. In addition, it is against the law for do...ing what he was doing. We didn't do anything wrong, but we needed to defend ourselves. While this may seem like a small matter to some, to a small business owner, this was a huge case to us. We were with another firm, prior to having Richard represent us. We were so glad we switched. Within a few months, Richard had the lawsuit thrown out. Richard kept us up to date throughout the entire process and he was extremely professional. I would highly recommend him.
