Great job!
I hired Richard to represent me in a foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. He was very thorough and, thanks God, my financial situation has changed during the litigation process. We successfully applied for a loan modification. Great timing. Thanks to Richard and his staff. Great job!!!

Richard is the best !!!!
Richard is currently working with us to keep our home. He has been helping us since March of 2010 going back and forth with the mortgage co. Before hiring Richard we contacted the mortgage company and explained our situation. We were told by several people from the company to do two things. Keep payi...

Highly Recommended
This law firm is the absolute best! I retained Mr. Shuster as my attorney a few months ago. Since retaining him, he has accomplished more in a couple of months with my mortgage foreclosure than I had in almost two years. I couldn't be more pleased. I have never slept more sound knowing he is com...

A real savior
After never missing a mortgage payment, the bank decided that they wanted to foreclose on two of my properties. I tried to negotiate with them but they blew me off. Once we talked with Richard, we knew that our prayers would be answered. Within a few months, Richard got them to dismiss one forclos...
"Having been in a foreclosure defense attorney since the start of the crisis, I have been able to observe and work with many so called foreclosure defense attorneys. It has been my experience that most of these attorneys lack the experience, ability and the drive to properly represent their clients. I routinely see attorneys at trial throwing in the towel and taking "uncontested" or consent judgments because they either don't know what to do or because they don't care. It's disgraceful. Richard, on the other hand, is an experienced and very knowledgeable litigator on the cutting edge. From the outset, I have collaborated with Richard on numerous ideas and concepts. I have borrowed pleadings from him and because of his fine work, I was successful in suing a bank! Richard is a pioneer in the field and I highly recommend him."
"I have known and respected Richard for several years now and recommend him very highly to all potential clients. A client needs an attorney who is willing to go the distance and never let up....Richard's considerable track record shows that he is just such an attorney. Dedicated, passionate and very, very knowledgeable, he's the guy you want on your side."
"Although I do not know Mr. Shuster personally, his thoughtful and detailed contributions in the Avvo community clearly set him apart from his peers as a knowledgeable, diligent, and competent consumer advocate. I would recommend him to any client needing representation in the areas of foreclosure defense or consumer protection."
"Richard is one of the most respected foreclosure litigators in this state, and his skills adequately match his reputation."
"Richard is well known in the community as a top-notch litigator. He is diligent and hard working and really cares for his clietns and their cases."
"In the community of lawyers who devote their careers to representing the interests of homeowners and consumers, there is a small group of exceptional lawyers who aggressively stand up for the rights of Floridians against banks and debt collectors. Richard Shuster is one of these exceptional lawyers. If you are considering hiring an attorney in the Melbourne area, do yourself a favor and speak to Richard first. As a foreclosure defense attorney familiar with the work ethic and work product of many lawyers throughout Florida, I can confidently recommend Shuster and Saben as one of the best firms in the business."
"Richard is extremely knowledgeable and he is the lawyer that lawyers turn to. I have personally benefited from his years of experience and friendly, sage advice."
"I endorse Richard after consulting with him recently about certain consumer law issues I was facing. My consultation with Richard was on a professional basis, lawyer-to-lawyer, and he was uncompensated. I found Richard to be very helpful, very generous with his time, and very knowledgeable. I also learned from my experience with Richard that he is a very active and successful foreclosure defense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is an outstanding attorney who stands up for consumers against big banks and large insurance companies."
"Richard Shuster is a consummate professional whose opinion I value greatly. I often rely on Mr. Shuster's Legal and Business acumen when serving the needs of my own clients. It is refreshing to have such a supportive attorney in the community."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Richard is a tremendous advocate for his clients. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of the victims of this economic downturn. His results in foreclosure defense have been nothing short of extraordinary. I highly recommend him."
"Richard and I worked at the same firm years ago. Richard is a bright and hard-working attorney that diligently pursues his client's goals."
"I have known Richard for over twenty years since our days at the University of Florida. He is a first class person and top notch attorney. He has built a tremendous practice holding insurance companies responsible for carrying out their contractual and statutory legal duties. If you are a health care provider in need of assistance in ensuring your auto litigation patient's bills are timely and fully paid, you should definitely contact Richard Shuster."
"Richard is one of those rare lawyers who you feel you need to have a pen and pad of paper when you speak to him, just so you can write down all of the dead-on advice he gives you when you seek his counsel. Not only is Richard smart, he is conscientious, studious, and above all, ethically beyond reproach."
