Does not care about his clients.

I hesitated to leave this review in regard to Mr. Feinberg due to certain connections; However, as I read more negative comments online, I hate to see people waste their money. My opinion. Pros: Mr. Feinberg was very professional, intelligent, sharp and his staff was kind throughout the enti...re process. That being said… Cons: He simply did not care about my case and it was obvious by his defense. On multiple occasions he allowed opposing counsel to hurl insulting remarks about myself for absolutely no reason while Mr. Feinberg said nothing. Yes, I understand these things happen from unprofessional attorneys; However, it was a pattern that was ALLOWED when circumstances did not warrant such venom. Mr. Feinberg was not prepared for court. The evidence against the opposing side was stacked to the ceiling in our favor and he failed to mention most of it. Still strange to me. The opposing attorney played legal games and ran up unnecessary costs with excessive emails and discoveries with little to no pushback from Mr. Feinberg. It is my STRONGEST belief he was more concerned about maintaining a good rapport with the opposing attorney than representing his own client. He finally said something about the excessive emailing but only because I spoke up. He never addressed the games being played by the other side. I NEVER felt he was in my corner. My gut tells me the opposing attorney and he had more phone conversations than I realize and I will leave it at that. That said, I have a sound understanding of the judicial system and not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but the way he allowed the opposing attorney to take the floor at times was not the “aggressive” attorney described to me. To quote Mr. Feinberg, “I don’t play” is a person I never saw. The entire experience was BIZARRE and I will never understand why he held back and allowed the other side so much room to do half of the shady things they did. Just makes me wonder. While there is a lot more, that’s all I will say at this time.

Horrible non caring attorney and money grabber

Stay as far away from this so called attorney as possible. He has no compassion and is lazy. He only cares about the money. Mishandled a friends divorce and put her and her children in harms way. He had no clue on case when went to court and was embarrassing as a member of the bar. So unprepared an...d was never available. has no compassion for women and I feel sorry for his wife. Save your money and your soul.

Excellent Attoney! A fighter with a heart!

I hired Mr. Feinberg one week before my scheduled trial as my previous lawyer had done nothing to prepare for my case. Mr. Feinberg was a pleasure to work with, a complete contrast to my previous attorney. I am out of state and he immediately familiarized himself with my case and communicated consi...stently with me. He spent a lot of time on the phone with me and never seemed rushed. As time was short and I arrived from out of state just before the trial he was willing to meet with me on Sunday with no extra charge. He is intelligent, knows the law, was a fighter for me while expressing a true heart for my case and my children. I would most definitely recommend Richard Feinberg.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Fienberg has handled a number of legal matters for me. I trust his judgement and character. I find his fees to be reasonable and well worth it. I would and do reccomend him to anyone who needs an attorney. He also handled cases of my friends and family with great skill and expertise.

Antagonistic Atty. No Good Unless You want to Fight

Mr. Feinberg is NOT a good person which bleeds over into his profession. When dealing with domestic issues between couples, he takes advantage of naivete and creates friction where there is none to begin with. Inevitably, fighting unnecessarily with your spouse will cost tons of money, which is wha...t Mr. Feinberg encourages so he will make more money. He does NOT have his clients' best interests at heart. He is the type of attorney that gives good attorneys a bad name. He is a bad apple. Mr. Feinberg should be ashamed of his method of practice. He doesn't seem to have a conscience. There are far too many GOOD attorneys that will actually do a paying client justice. I suggest possible clients ask around before hiring this guy. I'm aware of his BAD reputation now....a little too late.
