Super Lawyer

I have to say Mr. Nemeth is a Super Lawyer. He understand your situation and doesn't make you feel bad under the circumstances. He goes above and beyond to make sure that it by law and what's best for you. I would not think twice, wondering if you picked the right lawyer. There no one better in North...east Ohio Area.

Integrity at its finest

I have to say, Richard definitely is the kind of person that cares more about doing what's right than what's best for him. He is a very affordable lawyer in my opinion, but the value provided is more than the cost. I have had the opportunity to be a client of Richard's twice now, and not only is he e...ffective and efficient, but he is honest and considerate. His focus seems to be on doing what's right rather than what's most profitable.

Chapter 13

Upon my first consultation with Mr. Nemeth, I knew once he started explaining everything he would be the one I would hire. He is very thorough and completed tasks in a timely manner. He continues to keep me updated with requests as needed. He supports my every effort to maintain my finances. I could...n't have chosen a better person. I refer everyone i know to him.

Richard nemeth the best in cleveland

We hired him to help us with chapter 13. I had been sick, and just had alot going on. Richard, not only helped us, he exceeded our expectations. We finally was able to keep our house. And he was there every step of the way to guide us. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good attorney.
