Excellent Estate Planning Lawyer

Mr. Gunger has completed an Estate Plan for myself and several of my Family members over the course of many years. His legal fees are very reasonable, he has excellent communication skills and is extremely knowledgeable regarding the laws. He explains everything in down to earth language and my exper...ience with him and his Staff members have been exceptional. I can highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

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 straig...htforward/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.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Gunger provided a free consultation. The consultation was detailed and all of our questions were answered. After the consultation we hired him. The process went quickly and smoothly. Any time I called my questions were answered. I was well informed and the communication was clear. I had a lot of ...anxiety and Mr. Gunger and his firm made me feel comfortable and put my mind to ease. I highly recommend!!!

Outstanding Attorney

Richard is currently handling a very complicated Family Court matter for me. He has appeared with me several times in Court and is very aggressive, well respected and is always extremely well prepared. He listens very intently and takes very detailed notes. He also returns phone calls and regularly k...eeps me updated as to every aspect of my my case. I am very pleased with his services.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
