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.

Life Saver

While my title might seem a little dramatic, it does not even begin to explain the support Rick provided to me these past few months. After a year filled with unexpected losses of loved ones my ex-husband blindsided me and told me he wanted a divorce (and how he went about it wasn't pretty). I was ...not in an emotional state to advocate for myself, nor do I have enough financial knowledge, compared to my ex, to truly protect myself and my children. Rick stepped in and took care of everything. He had my back every step of the way. He has creative ways of looking at things, he is a master negotiator, and he has an amazing sense of humor that can diffuse even the most serious of situations. I'm still not sure my ex-husband & his lawyer know what hit them. Thanks to Rick, my children and I are going to be okay. And as Rick has repeatedly assured me, someday we are going to be better than okay. If you want a smart, fair, empathetic advocate in your corner then Rick is your man.

Excellent!

My divorce was a surprise and devastating. Rick helped me navigate my way through the process. He negotiated an outstanding settlement and protected my future and the future of my children. He kept me calm and focused.

Outstanding attorney ! I highly recommend him.

Rick did an incredible job throughout the whole divorce process. I had seen various attorneys previously and my experience was that he was by far the smartest, most competent, and fastest. To give you a point of comparison, my ex-wife went through three different attorneys, each one looking good on p...aper and ultimately being a disaster (which played in my favor). Rick is very talented, and understands the needs of his clients. He was always very professional and provided excellent and consistent feedback and advice. I was confronted with a challenging divorce, with my ex-wife that did not work for the past 12 years, and significant assets and properties in the US and abroad. All sorts of unexpected issues arose during my case (sudden request from my ex-wife to relocate with the children, changes in her position and requests, new lawyers appointed, etc) and throughout it all Rick provided excellent guidance. Rick was great as well at providing reassurance in the moments of tension and doubt, and also ensuring that we kept a hard position when needed. His extensive financial background with knowledge of taxes/finances/alimony/child support guidelines allowed him to calculate in a few minutes what the CPA or other attorneys took extensive time on their computers to do! This clearly played in our favor during our negotiations. Rick was also very strong in convincing the opposing party to abandon any of their non-realistic claims, and to take the conversation back to our position. Rick is an extremely strong negotiator, and I saw how he was far superior to the other attorneys in mediation and throughout the whole divorce process. He understood my desire to limit costs and find a settlement, while ensuring the outcome was favorable to me. I am very pleased with the overall result and agreement reached, and furthermore saved a tremendous amount by avoiding having to go to court. I would therefore highly recommend Richard Schurr to anyone seeking top tier legal counsel.

Excellent attorney!

I would like to thank Rick and his staff for his representation during my divorce. From the beginning, Rick was very reassuring and understanding to the needs of myself and my son. Having not experienced anything like this personally, I wasn’t aware of the process. Rick took the time to expla...in everything to me. Rick is a very talented, compassionate, and professional attorney. Any issues that arose during my case including custody concerns, Rick was there to answer and reassure me that everything would be fine. When I had questions or concerns, he was very prompt in returning my phone calls or emails. I am pleased with the outcome of how my divorce was handled in such a professional manner and I highly recommend Mr. Richard Schurr for his professional legal counsel.
