Richard Francis Connelly Jr.

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.
