Richard Francis Connelly Jr.

I highly recommend Rich Connelly. I am incredibly grateful for his professionalism, honesty, and compassion during my grandson's unexpected divorce. Throughout the process, Mr. Connelly and his assistant, Shona, were responsive, supportive, and clear in explaining his options and what to expect. I al...ways felt that our concerns were heard and that my grandson's interests were being protected. Rich took an unimaginable, stressful situation for a wonderful young man and made it less painful. I am sincerely grateful that my friend recommended him and we hired him to represent my grandson. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate legal representation. It is difficult to find the appropriate words to explain how absolutely wonderful they were. All of those things not only make him an excellent attorney, but also an amazing person you want in your corner during difficult and unstable times. We pray our family never has to go through "the process" again, but if we do, we will definitely use Rich and his assistant, Shona. Just flat-out good people, and we are grateful.

I highly recommend Rich Connelly. I am incredibly grateful for his professionalism, honesty, persistence, and compassion during a very difficult and complicated divorce. Throughout the process, Mr. Connelly and his staff were responsive, supportive, and clear in explaining my options and what to e...xpect. I always felt that my concerns were heard and my interests were being protected. Even after my divorce was finalized, Mr. Connelly continued to advocate for me when my former spouse refused to sign the federal documents necessary to process my pension. He remained persistent, and following a hearing, I was awarded the back pay I was owed, along with continued monthly payments until my federal pension is fully processed, due to his knowledge and understanding of the law. Mr. Connelly’s knowledge, dedication, and steady guidance made an extremely stressful situation much easier to navigate. I am sincerely grateful that I had him representing me and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate legal representation.

Before hiring an attorney for my divorce which my husband filed, I did my research and read the reviews on Mr. Connelly. I interviewed several attorneys. During the consultation, I could see the attributes that others had written about him were true with me as well and so I made my decision to hir...e him. I valued his professionalism and honesty, which one would expect when hiring any service professional to deliver but sadly often do not receive. But he did much more. He was firm with me when I needed it, he was direct, he was understanding and kind. He knew the heartache and how crazy this situation can make a person. He was spot on delivering the emotional support to get me through this nasty business. He was not my emotional counselor but my legal counselor keeping me on track emotinally to cope with the legal battle. I had depended on my husband for 17 years as my rock and now I had to transfer that dependence, that need for help onto a stranger to do battle with the man I still loved. Rich did this. He accepted me where I was emotionally and in my spiritual beliefs. He did an amazing job. He helped with the cost, returned calls and e-mails, guided me through the process all of that which is expected he did well. He represented me in court, the last place I ever thought I would find myself and my husband, and he finished the battle as well as he started it. He was consistent and precise. When your life has turned upside down the last thing you need is someone to make it worse and he never did that. He never added more problems to what I had to deal with. He did his job well. I am forever grateful that he helped me close a very painful chapter in my life with ease and grace. Rich is what you hope and pray you can find in a lawyer to help you go through something you don't want to go through. He was my defender and champion. He is smart and sharp. He never let me down. I am forever grateful.

Atty Connelly represented me in a difficult divorce involving child custody. My ex husband did everything he could to drag it on while trying to discredit my character. Mr. Connelly legally guided me through a very difficult process. He is a good person, smart, and thoroughly knowledgeable. Rich will... always return your phone calls (many attorneys don't), and excels in planning out the course of action with you. He will not make promises, but hang in there because he is very good at his job. His rates are probably average but his performance is well above average. I hired him after firing the first attorney I hired. He jumped in and did a fantastic job. A friend of mine recently hired Atty Connelly for her divorce involving substantial worth, because of my referral. He did a great job and my friend has thanked me many times. I highly recommend Atty Rich Connelly.
