Known and used by family for 15 years

Me and my family have used Rick on numerous occasions. He represented my family as my father and brother bought out my uncle from the family business. During mediation he was smart, efficient and effective. He represented me in a matter with my exwife. In court he was significantly better prepared t...han the other attorney. The matter was settled in my favor. Lastly he just completed all of my dad´s estate, will, power of attorney, etc. documents. We hit a snag during the process and he provided a simple yet elegant solution. I also know him on a personal basis. He is hard working, intelligent, dedicated and fights hard for his clients. I highly recommend him.

Looking for results?

Richard Schurr was my second and final attorney representing me with my divorce. Rick is extremely knowledgable about all types of law, wicked smart in negotiations, pleasantly tempered, surprisingly humorous, well spoken, and highly professional. He has a kind, caring, and highly qualified team supp...orting his high standard of work ethics. I was impressed with Rick and his team's capabilities, and was grateful they were representing me. I highly recommend Richard Schurr to anyone in need of competent, successful representation.

I highly recommend and would use again and again

I was two years into my divorce when I thankfully met Rick. After so much time and money lost to the wrong divorce attorney, Rick stepped in and expeditiously brought the most horrible experience of my life to an end. Rick is very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding the needs of my family. H...e sorted through all financial, business and psychological issues relating to my divorce. I highly recommend Richard Schurr to anyone seeking legal help with a divorce and/or business matters.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

I retained Richard to negotiate and draft a Purchase and Sale Agreement. Richard and his associate, Peter, were not only always available when I needed them, but they are very knowledgeable, helpful and pay great attention to detail. I was extremely satisfied with the result of the Purchase and Sale ...Agreement. I would recommend Richard A. Schurr, P.A. to anyone looking for an attorney for business related matters.

Exceptional Service

Rick helped us with our elderly father's divorce and facilitated the process with professionalism and courtesy. This was over eight years ago and our family still holds him and Diana with high regards, even after our dad passing in 2015. Very grateful to the firm.
