Strategic, knowledgeable, competent

Past attorneys simply “followed suit” so to speak. Rick used his legal knowledge to stop two years of post divorce litigation caused by my highly litigious ex-husband. Rick, Bonnie, & his team successfully won a Motion for Judgement on the Pleadings which caused my ex’s Petition to Modify our divor...ce agreement to be dismissed! This saved my children from being further bitten from dogs during my ex’s timeshare, amongst other things. Rick continues to represent me in a child support modification where my ex is playing games every step of the way. This does not deter Rick and his team. Other attorneys were simply incompetent and do not hold a candle to Rick’s knowledge and experience.

Exemplary

After multiple consultations with other lawyers, I hired Rick Schurr. He has been my attorney for 10 years and I can always rely on his expertise. He is a personable and straightforward lawyer. My case was closed in a professional and efficient manner. I am eternally grateful for his service. I hig...hly recommend Mr. Schurr without reservation.

Excellent Lawyer

My divorce was very difficult due to the fact that my ex husband is a attorney. Mr Schurr was hired to take over the attorney position in a litigation where the defendant was another attorney and was represented my an unscrupulous and unethical attorney where the strategy was to obfuscate and confu...se matters to the objective of simply hearing us down in a case where it was so simply weighted in our favor that it was the only way they could try to prevail. it pretty much worked with the previous attorney who simply became tired of the ongoing and never ending confusion and costs. the matter involved suit over this defendants obligation to turn over clear title of a car at a specific date and failed to do so. Rick cut through all the confusion and brought the matter to settlement within a nine month period of time at reasonable costs which were mostly recovered. I was pleased with his approach,communication , costs and outcome and would use him for any matters in the future where the services of a competent attorney are required. I can only highly recommend Mr Schurr He is an excellent lawyer.

Excellent!

I hired Mr Schurr after a year of unsuccessful, costly negotiation while represented by another attorney. By the time I found Mr Schurr, I was exasperated and untrusting of the legal process all together. Mr Schurr was unflappable in the face of opposing counsel's antics. He was reliable, professiona...l and confident which was a great relief to me. He managed to turn what had become a circus back into a legal process which is now finally over. He does a great job anticipating outcomes and managing the obstacles to a speedy resolve. His experience in finance proved to be invaluable in my case. His office staff is responsive and was usually one step ahead of me. My only regret is that I didn't find him from the beginning. Fantastic attorney!

A very good mediator.

Mr. Schurr is a fine attorney and a capable mediator. In my last case in which Mr. Schurr was the mediator, Mr. Schurr successfully brought the parties together in what was otherwise a very contentious and hotly contested case. His professionalism and low key approach were quite effective.
