Reliable and Ethical
Richard is extraordinarily experienced and honest and I’m fortunate to have hired him. He has excellent relationships with the courts in the region and was an expert advocate. In addition, he and his assistant Patrice both treated me like family and kept me informed every step of the way. I’m deeply thankful.

Best Lawyer Around!!!!
I researched attorneys who would handle a separation/family court case more locally as I'm new to Cayuga County; wherein I found Richard to have a 5-star rating with positive feedback/comments from his clientele. I will be no exception. Richard/Patrice make a wonderful team. They have been straightforward/honest with my questions and potential outcomes with my situation. I appreciated that they called a spade a spade but with tact/ and care. Richard walked me through the process step by step with words of encouragement every step of the way. There comes a certain level of anxiety and stress when dealing with family court. Richard and Patrice have years of experience and are sincere with wanting to help folks achieve their goals with their given situation. I can't write enough good about this team. I highly recommend Richard and Patrice, wonderful people, wonderful representation.

My Review
I had never heard of Mr. Gunger prior to my bankruptcy and just looked for a lawyer close to me. I had a previous bad experience with another lawyer which made me a bit nervous. Mr Gunger restored my faith in lawyers. He walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions right away. His secretary was very helpful and if she didn't know something she knew who to call or where to find the information right away this was the best experience I could have had!

Excellent and Friendly Attorney
Mr. Gunger was hired to handle a Family Court case for me. He fought very hard for me in Court and obtained the exact result that I wanted. He was able to get my case resolved without the necessity of a Trial. I'm am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. I am in the process of retaining him on another matter and would recommend him highly to my Family and Friends.

COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER!!!! A+++++++
Mr. Gunger was hired by me due to a custody battle that was well overdue being resolved, he replaced an incompetent attorney I had previously retained, and wow.... what a difference! He was there day and night to answer questions, compassionate , a go-getter, resilient, timely, organized, and intelligent!!! I only wish I had hired him sooner, super down to earth with a dash humor to keep your mind on the prize. He did wonderfully and will always recommend him to anyone seeking legal services. He got me what I wanted plus more and doesn’t forget about you after the case is closed, hire him...... you won’t be sorry!
