Client

Rick got the job done. He was direct and judicious with his approach. Also, he knows the system and how to work in favor of his client. I would most certainly retain his services if needed.

No regrets

I was referred to Mr. Chizever by a colleague. At first, I was a bit hesitant as he was very blunt. Then I realized he is very passionate about his work and does not sugar coat. (Some do just to get your business) Needless to say, I got the results I wanted; monthly child support due to me and the ti...me-sharing schedule for my child that works for me vs the other parent. I was a nervous wreck and contacted him a lot with many questions, yet he always responded in a timely manner. Considering he is mostly in a courtroom, he always replied. At times, it was way past business hours and he would still call me or email me. I would hire him in a heartbeat again, if need be. Thank you!

family case

I am more the pleased to say that I reached out to Richard Chizever to help me out with a family case and words can't describe how pleased I am with his work .I have been his client for more than four years, and always come back to him when issues arise in my case. Unfortunately , I have to litigate... against my ex way too often, like now .Rick is an amazing professional and always available when needed. Even more importantly for me, he constantly reinforces to me that I am always able to reach out to him if I need him. I've had and excellent experience with him and recommend him 10/10.

Thank you for your services!

I would like to thank Richard Scott Chizever from the bottom of my heart for the great job she has done with my case. I had hired Richard for my divorce process. It was a complicated since i have my daughter in between. He was very attentive and considerate to me. The way he communicated with me thro...ugh emails & phone was very clear, he had provided me with instructions to follow step by step to get success. He supported me during all the struggles. It took some time more time due to the covid. I finally got divorced and got my fair time share with my daughter. I got what i wanted and got out of the divorce without any problems. Richard is a down to earth guy, very clear and straight up forward. I will recommend him and will use again for any legal services. Thank you Richard i appreciate your help.

Richard has been a great asset!

Richard has been my attorney for over 3 years now in a family law custody case. Not only is he a very passionate litigator, he is the only family litigator (that I have hired) that actually cares about the outcome of the case. He is always available, night or day, an attribute very different from o...ther legal professionals that I have hired. Although family law representation is expensive, his rates are the most affordable that I have found. He doesn’t Nickel and Dime you in attempts to run up bills, as I have experienced with other lawyers. If you are faced with a family law situation, I would definitely recommend to have Rick on your side!
