Richard A. Shuman

Mr. Shuman was nice, affordable, and knowledgeable. When we discussed what needed to be done to obtain custody of my daughter (I'm her father) he basically said it would be cheaper if we got my ex to sign the paperwork ourselves. Which was fine, I got them signed, then I didn't hear from Mr. Shuma...n for weeks. We finally got a call and he said court in two days. TWO DAYS. Thank God I was able to take the morning off work with so little notice. Then he was late showing up for court, he talked to the judge for me, the judge asked me few questions, signed the papers and we left. It's been 3 months and I still haven't received my new custody papers. I've called the office multiple times, left messages with the secretary. Mr. Shuman was a decent attorney, did his job, but his communication skills are a zero. Because of this one problem, I will never use him again.

To start, I hope you never need the service of an Attorney, but if you do, I strongly recommend Mr. Shuman. Years a go, I open a simple child support case at the attorney general office, and when my ex turn that small case into a Custody Case, the Att. Gen. Office step back and told me that I need ...to get a private attorney other wise I will most likely lose my 4 year old little girl at the hands of a fhater that many times verbally express his negative feeling toward her. Living day by day, single mother, and no money, I Desperately begin to call every attorney that I could find on the ph. Book, and every single one had the same answer for me..."no $$, no case"..... "$200-$300" was the average per hr,.... "We need $2000 to start"..... And when I begin to lose my hope, Mr Shuman call, and I answer that phone so aggravated for the situation, and his answer was kind, and he begin to talk of the options I have... He was the only attorney from that ph. Book That offer me help, and more than that..."hope". He was knowledgeable, experienced,profecional, trusted, and patient , but also, so kind and compassionate. He reprecent me and my daughter for a total of 3 years (due to the extension requested by my ex and his attorney ). 3 years !.... And Mr Shuman show always all those qualities. I own him the happiness of seen my daughter grow up by my side, and also a very good support check for my daughter. My story happens 13 years a go, and until this day I still thinking that God put Mr Shuman is my path, and I'm so thankful for that. Thank You Mr. Shuman.
