Excellent choice if you need a military divorce attorney!

Richard is an excellent attorney. He and his team took the time to make sure all the details of my case were fully addressed. His extensive experience in the area of military divorce made a huge difference which lead to a successful outcome.

Extremely knowledgeable attorney who actually cares

I cannot recommend Richard enough. Even though he wasn't my attorney (by the time we had our consultation, I had already hired someone else), he took a genuine personal interest in my case and went far above and beyond what anyone would expect. ​He has a combination of brilliance and empathy and rea...lly takes in the full situation. Having been through a similar scenario himself, he genuinely understands the emotional weight of what you're going through. He was incredibly easy to talk to, patient, and helpful. He offered useful advice, made recommendations, and took the time to check in on my progress simply because he cared. He even spoke to the attorney I did hire because he knew her professionally and wanted to make some suggestions for my case. My attorney told me that Richard is who many other local attorneys go to for input or a second opinion because he is so well respected in their community. ​I spoke to many lawyers in the search process and heard similar things from others I had spoken to. I was referred to Richard by my previous attorney who said my case was extremely high conflict/complicated and suggested checking with him first. If you need a smart family law attorney who actually cares about people and not just money, Richard is as great choice. I just wish I had a chance to speak with him before I committed to my current attorney.

I had the better attorney

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Richard Mockler was excellent. Smart, strategic, and extremely effective. Throughout my divorce, it became pretty obvious who the better attorney in the room was. Richard was consistently several steps ahead, and my spouse’s attorney simply couldn’t keep up. If you want someone sharp, pre...pared, and very good at what he does, hire Richard.

Exceptional Guidance Through a Difficult Time

Going through an emotional divorce is one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, but working with Mockler Leiner Law Firm—and especially Richard Mockler and his team, Katherine and Benjamin—made all the difference. From the very beginning, Richard stood out with his confidence, honesty, and no-...nonsense approach. He doesn’t sugarcoat things, and while he may not always tell you what you want to hear, he absolutely tells you what you need to hear—clearly, directly, and with your best interests in mind. What really impressed me was how Richard took the time to truly listen and understand my perspective, even when emotions were high. He and his team helped untangle the complex legal language and processes that would’ve been overwhelming on my own. Katherine and Benjamin were also incredibly supportive, responsive, and compassionate throughout the entire journey. Richard not only settled my divorce quickly, but did so with the best interest of my child at the forefront. Because of the trust and confidence I built with him during that process, I’ve since returned to him for help with a relocation of child filing, and once again, he has shown up with the same level of professionalism, care, and expertise. One thing that truly sets Richard apart is his availability and responsiveness. He always made himself available—whether by call, text, or email. If I couldn’t reach him right away, my phone would ring within hours, with him on the other end, ready to help and guide me through whatever issue I was facing. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expert legal strategy with genuine care and availability, Mockler Leiner is it. I’m incredibly grateful to have had Richard, Katherine, and Benjamin in my corner.

The Harvey Specter of the real world, simply the best

I have been dealing with attorneys for 30 years, both personally and professionally. Richard Mockler and his team are quite simply the best I have seen. Richard is the Harvey Specter of the real world and subtlety makes opposing attorneys (and their clients) look like the "attorneys" who represente...d Amber Heard... brilliance versus bumblers. King Kong versus an ants. Yeah, he's that good. The best of the best take command of courtrooms without constantly huffing and puffing; instead they recognize the nuances needed to effectively prosecute their case before judges and juries. No one does it better than Richard; his attention to every detail and every syllable spoken is beyond extraordinary. Ask yourself, do you want a guy like this on your side or do you want to lose to him? If you need an attorney, a law firm, and an extended family that has no fear and are never intimidated by anyone or anything, then Richard Mockler and Mockler Leiner Law should be your first and last call.
