About Richard
Biography
We think a lot about how we would feel, or what we would want, if we were in a client’s shoes. Being a family lawyer means more than just knowing the law. We factor in human nature and consider our client’s feelings as well as what the legal system provides. Instead of automatically assuming we will go to court for solutions, we find out what our clients' goals and needs are and then focus on finding the least-destructive and most effective and creative ways to resolve disagreements or meet their needs.
My preference is to use Collaborative Law whenever I can to resolve family law cases. I have been doing Collaborative Law for over 10 years and spend a lot of time promoting it, since many people still are unfamiliar with it. I enjoy writing, speaking and teaching about Collaborative Law.

I have lived in Fort Worth for over 35 years. I have been married for over 25 years and have a son in college. My wife and I had an antique business on the side for several years, but we closed up shop to allow more time with our son’s school and other activities. In my spare time, I was a Scoutmaster for several years and I coached a baseball team for eight years.

Mr. Richard C. Price, Highly Recommended
Mr. Price performed my legal representation as well as I could expect it to be done. I was informed of scenarios and choices that needed to be considered.

Mr. Price's response to my review were factually inaccurate.
Mr. Price's inaccurate and untruthful response to my poor review of his services only serve to reassure me that I was correct in seeking other representation. I am angry that he implies I did not understand the process. I continued with the collaborative process after firing him, I did not receive a ...

Wasted my retainer
When I first hired Mr. Price as my divorce attorney he said all the right things to get me to believe he understood what I needed. Instead I felt pushed by him to agree to settlements that would not benefit myself or my minor son. I felt like my ex had two attorneys and I none. After I informed him I...
Richard Price
Replied last August 13, 2012This case was over 2 years ago and I had to look it up. Unfortunately, my former client must not have remembered everything and she got some of the facts wrong. It was a Collaborative case. I met with her twice at my office and we had two joint meetings before she suddenly ended the process. I took a small retainer to work off of. We had two lawyers and a mental health professional (MHP) working on the case. Here are some corrections and responses: 1. There was no pushing her into settlements. We had barely started the process and were dealing with small, very preliminary issues. During her marriage, she apparently got her way with her husband and she was not happy making compromises. She also did not allow time for the process to work. She had mostly very reasonable requests, but we have to listen to both sides in Collaborative cases and have an open exchange of ideas and solutions. She was not as patient as she probably needed to be. I, and the MHP, probably needed to work with her more to help her understand the need for patience, but we just didn't get the opportunity since she stopped the process right after the second joint meeting. 2. I was retained by her on Feb. 9, and I sent her detailed bills on March 1 and April 1. The April 1 bill showed a balance of $240 and she complained about it. Although the bill was correct and was justified by my work, I offered a courtesy discount of one-half, which she accepted. She sent a final payment of $120 on April 13 and I thought she was satisfied with that. When she had indicated that she wanted to change attorneys, she also said she wanted a detailed bill. A couple of days later, we sent out the April 1 bill. It was itemized, as was the March 1 bill. She did not ask for anything else, and she paid half, as I offered. 3. She probably forgot that we discussed the filing of the divorce petition at the first joint meeting and agreed to wait to file until her husband had lived in Tarrant County for 90 days, which would have been in mid-May. She lived in Johnson County and we all agreed to file in Tarrant County for convenience. 4. I am certain I did not send an email telling her she was angry and ungrateful. I believe I sent an email encouraging her to seek counseling because she was having a rough time, as many other people do, dealing with very difficult issues. She may have reacted badly to the suggestion of counseling, but I really thought it might help her. I also can't imagine how I could have said she was ungrateful-- I don't know what she would have been ungrateful for. That's just not something I say to clients. 5. I am happy she ended up with a good resolution. At the beginning, she wanted a less-destructive process. Her objectives apparently changed and I'm glad things worked out well, even though the Collaborative process wasn't comfortable for her. As good as it is, Collaborative Law won't work for everybody.
