Excellent Choice

I interviewed about ten attorneys for my case, but none of them were as knowledgeable as he was about relocation. He knew all the information I needed to get and how we were to get it approved, very happy with my choice.

Great Attorney

By hiring Richard McCluskey, I was able with his help to become a majority parent once again to my children. He was able to fix the problems from my old case and help me to move forward. I would recommend his firm.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
