The Best Lawyer Ever

Richard is handling a complicated Bankruptcy Case for me and he and his staff have been excellent to work with. He has explained everything to me about the different types of Bankruptcies and options that I have to chose from. He is extremely down to earth and super intelligent. Additionally, his bed...side manner is second to none. Thank you so much Richard for being so an Amazing Attorney.

Awesome Attorney

Mr Gunger did an excellent job on my family court matter. During my initial consultation he was very professional yet compassionate. He explained my rights in a very down to earth manner and told me exactly step by step how Family Court works. He obtained a very detailed visitation schedule for me an...d it's exactly what I wanted. Mr Gunger's staff was also very helpful and everyone retuned my calls promptly. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an Attorney who will fight for your rights and to protect you every step of the way.

Intelligent Lawyer

I hired Richard to set up a complex Estate Plan. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Wills and Estates. He impressed me right off the bat with his expertise and command of the law. He made the whole process from start to finish very easy and kept me stress free. I cannot say enough abou...t how smart this man is. Should I need any other legal services in the future, I would go back to Richard in a heartbeat.

Excellent Attorney

I retained Dick to handle a very complicated Federal Court case. He walked me through case step by step and kept me informed throughout the whole matter. My hearing went very smoothly and he kept me calm the whole time. The trustee asked me if Mr Gunger did a good job explaining to me all of my pet...ition and further indicated that he did a perfect job on my case. I have used Dick's services in the past and he has never let me down. He has been our family Attorney for over twenty year and has always done a fantastic job. I would highly recommend him if you want the job done right the first time! Thank you so much Dick!!!A+++++++
