Get's the job done!

My post judgement case was high conflict, high net worth, and I had 3 minors. I was up against 2 popular law firms, who care about wins, and not people’s or children’s lives. I had a guardian who was completely bias, listening to lies, exaggerations, without checking the facts. My case had... a ridiculous and unnecessary amount of paid professionals, experts and Doctors. Therapists, psych eval, parenting coaches, dbt therapy. When I tried calling to find an attorney, most wouldn’t take the case because it was a post judgment, or because of the judge, or because of who the guardian was. I went through 5 lawyers, hundreds of thousands of dollars, 14 months, and not one experienced lawyer had a game plan. I couldn’t have been in a worse situation, stuck in the family court web, my children gone, all the professionals after money, I came across Richard Schurr. He accepted my case right away after 5 lawyers had their hands on it with many huge mistakes and 2 years of post judgement litigation. Nothing scares him. Rick was patient, understanding, and explained every detail. I wanted to stay informed with every phone call he had, and he made himself available to do so. I never felt embarrassed if I needed something explained. His knowledge goes far beyond law and has experience in forensic accounting, which couldn’t be more helpful. He has a deep understanding of psychology, people and personalities. He always had a game plan, even if it had to change a few times. After over 2 years, 14 months without my kids, he got the job done in 4 weeks. It’s unheard of how talented he is. His office runs so smoothly, each employee has a job and there is always someone to call or text. Motions filed quickly, depositions all went well, finances explained, dates and zoom links shared, and all emails responded to. He was over prepared for court and nothing was last minute with him and his team. They all made sure to mix humor with the most difficult time of my life. And while I heard losses and negativity after hearings or emails, he read between the lines, he found evidence and small windows to run with, he always saw the positives. The best in Miami.

Exceptional legal representation—Compassionate, Tenacious, and Life-Changing

After years of unsuccessfully trying to navigate a complex and emotionally abusive divorce, I turned to Rick Schurr and Rebecca Nashban—and they delivered results beyond my expectations. They provided strategic guidance, tireless advocacy, and most importantly, unwavering protection for my daughter a...nd I throughout the process. This was not a simple divorce. It involved emotional abuse, control, and threats. Rick and Rebecca didn’t just help me legally—they helped restore my peace of mind. They obtained a restraining order to ensure our safety and handled every aspect of the case with grace, empathy, and strength. They were always responsive, compassionate, and never made me feel alone or unheard. I truly believe their combination of legal acumen and human understanding is rare. If you're seeking a divorce attorney who will fight fiercely for you while treating you with dignity and care, I wholeheartedly recommend this firm. Rick Schurr and Rebecca Nashban changed the trajectory of my life—and I will forever be grateful.

Richard Schurr

I met Richard Schurr when he was retained by my ex-spouse during our divorce in 2011. In his time as my conterparty's attorney, I saw Mr. Schurr act in nothing but he most professional and organized manner through what was a very high conflict divorce. Mr. Schurr tirelessly strove to bring both par...ties to the table in order to reach agreements that would be in the best interest of our children. His concern for all involved was evident. I found Mr. Schurr to be ethical, responsible and knowledgeable in his area. I highly recommend Richard Schurr.

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.
