SMARTEST ATTORNEY I EVER MET - Richard Won my case and saved me thousands of dollars

this guy knows what he is doing. he is a gentleman and a scholar. i actually thought i was losing until the end of the case. he did not blow smoke and say things i wanted to hear. he told me, honestly, to "prepare for the worst", and then he delivered the best. honesty and interity. i hope he becomes a judge.

Hire This Attorney!!!

Posted by

Richard came to visit me while sitting in the county and told me what he could do to help me. my bond was $150,000. yes! no extra zero's! he was able to get it down to $30,000. He is a polite guy but also gets it done and someone you want with you in court.

Recommending Attorney

Posted by

Hired Attorney for a post judgment modification of a final judgment. I tried to handle the case on my own, but ended up having to hire counsel. He was able to get me a more fair parenting plan and correct my child support. Very Pleased

Hired for a Modification

Posted by

Hired for a child support modification. I had changed jobs a few times and now made way less money. Was able to help me even though I do not keep very good records.

The Best

Posted by

Mr. McCluskey represented me in two separate cases. A difficult divorce and a custody battle. Mr. McClusky won both cases. He is very fair with his costs and never nickel and dimed me. I felt he had my best interest and it was not just about another representation. I would definitely recommend Mr. McClusky.
