If you want to win, call Richard Mockler

I’m a retired Special Operations Army Officer. I was married 28 years and working as an ex-Pat overseas when my EX filed for divorce. I had a lame “collaborative” attorney who just drained my bank account. I searched for a Lawyer who was former military and knew how to win. Thankfully, I found Rich...ard. He is the smartest, hardest working, professional I’ve ever met in the legal world. He took on 3 lawyers from my Ex-wife and we finalized a deal the night before our trial date in 2015. Then in 2020, my ex sued me for contempt of court involving a complicated military pay issue. We went to trial this time and Richard was like Joe Frazier in the boxing ring. We prevailed he saved me 10s of 1000s of dollars. I don’t usually write endorsements for anything but, this law firm deserves even more than I have shared here. Whoever left the 1 Star is obviously a fake or disgruntled. No way this guy is less than 5 stars.

Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommend

Choosing Richard to represent me in a recent civil matter regarding a false Injunction for protection was truly the best decision. He is incredibly smart, strategic, knowledgeable and calm; a true advocate all around. He made my case a priority and was able to have both the temporary injunction disso...lved/vacated so I could return to my normal life and the petitions dismissed early into the trial itself. Richard’s hard work and dedication to my case was amazing from our initial discussion all the way through the litigation/court proceedings. Richard is truly willing to go above and beyond for his clients, I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing a Civil/Family attorney.

Tampa Bay Area’s BEST Family Law Attorney

I have been happily divorced for almost 10 years. In that time, I have been in and out of courtrooms averaging about every two years thanks to my ex and his wild imagination. Unfortunately, I did not know Richard during the first 4 years of my legal battles. Due to a combination of appearing pro se a...nd two awful attorneys, those first 4 years did not render my way. I met Richard Mockler in 2013. After a superior recommendation from a friend, I obtained him as my counsel for my open family law case at that time. Richard successfully won that hearing and has continued representing me and winning every single one of my cases ever since. To say the least Richard Mockler is an outstanding, persistent, caring, legal guru and relentless attorney you could ever possibly ever ask for. Thank you Richard for your outstanding services over the past 6 years and still continuing to this day.

Aggressive and knowledgeable

I came to Mockler Leiner after two really awful experiences with family law attorneys. Another attorney suggested Richard and was confident he could prepare for a trial in a short period of time which I needed. He and Angela were reasonable in their expectations and very knowledgeable. No guarantees ...were made other than realistic ones. I had to adjust my expectations when I hired this firm because in family law cases some of us tend to micromanage due to past negative experiences. Richard and Angela have both been great with my case. Is he perfect about returning phone calls? No, not if it’s frivolous or nit picky, do I get a response when it’s truly time sensitive YES! Did I get aggressive representation in court? Yes, I definitely did! We are headed to trial, and I finally feel confident With the representation I’ve hired. Richard and Angela know family law, handle themselves professionally, innovative in their settlements, and highly skilled under pressure. Your attorney isn’t your friend, they are here to get the job done in the most favorable outcome for their clients while being realistic. You won’t regret hiring this law firm!

Excellent in the courtroom

Richard was amazing in the courtroom. He was articulate and expressed deep concern in my case. Richard was thorough and can thought on his toes even when presented with new evidence literally minutes before the hearing.
