After having two bitter experiences from two family attorneys in the past, I was very skeptical to hire a new one to represent me at a new hearing I needed to go to. I was divorced four and a half years ago, and based on the Final Judgment, I had to go court after two years of my divorce to get some... financial support from my former husband, based on Affidavit of Support he signed with the immigration, before bringing me to the United States. I was constantly going to some legal sites seeking some helpful information, as I could not afford to loss the case this time, nor did I want to be misrepresented. I was looking for a responsible, aggressive and informative attorney to hire. I contacted numerous attorneys to discuss the case with and get some information. Most of the attorneys I talked to did not have enough information about the case, and some, referred me to some attorneys working in other fields not related to my case. As I was looking for a good, decent attorney, I came across Mr. Mockler's name among top best attorneys in Tampa. I read his answers and advices on some of peoples' legal questions and concerns as the best answers chosen by Avvo. I decided to contact him and talk to him about the case. Richard first wanted to send him a copy of the Final Judgment, then agreed to take the case. A day before the hearing, he wanted to see me as he was preparing some of our requests and wanted to send them to the opposing lawyer and her client (my former husband.) He explained to me in details, all the aspects of the case and gave me advices on what I need to do, and let me decide to choose the best option for myself without any pressure. In the end, we reached an agreement that I am totally satisfied with, as I believe that I made a wise decision considering all the circumstances, with the help of Richard. I am very delighted with the result, and I told Richard after the hearing that he totally changed my mind about lawyers and now I believe that they are still good lawyers out there who really care for their clients.

I thank Richard for his excellent work and compassion but mostly for his encouragement and friendship. He became a friend to me during my divorce. The sense of security he gave me about my future and daughters and my well-being gave me the peace of mind I needed. I appreciate his loyalty, his str...ength and his genuine concern as well as his sense of humor! Throughout the ordeal, he helped me remain confident with his professional, rational and knowledgeable manner both in law and finances. I could not have made it through that awful time without his help! They say the best advertisement is word of mouth. I will highly recommend him. He is an incredible person and one hell of a lawyer:-)!

Highly recommended. Richard has represented me in a divorce, and I have found Richard to be an outstanding attorney--he is highly intelligent, has great command of family law and the divorce process, and is reasonable in his billing. You can expect Richard to provide great legal advice, and to a...chieve the best results possible in your case. In addition, Richard and his staff are very personable and a pleasure to work with. If you need help in a divorce case, you need to hire Richard ASAP before your spouse does--I have no doubt he is the best in the Tampa area.
