Excellent Representation

Mr. Kaufman represented me on all aspects of my Dissolution of Marriage. My case was complicated and took several years to fully resolve, however throughout the entire process and legal proceedings, I felt I was well represented, well informed and that my best interests were always identified and pr...otected.

Richard P Kaufman

Richard Kaufman represented me in my divorce. This was such an emotional time for me. I had not ever been through anything like this before, but Mr. Kaufman and his legal assistant helped explain things to me, supported me, and helped guide me in what I had to do. Mr. Kaufman had us very prepared ...for my case and I don't believe we could have been better prepared. He made something so uncomfortable for me and smoothed it out. Mr. Kaufman is the best!

He helped after I fired my first lawyer and has been since.

Mr. Kaufman helped me after my divorce was final. I was not happy with my first lawyer and then contacted Mr. Kaufman. He took the time to fully understand what was happening/happened with my divorce. I now live in Minnesota, but have continued to use Mr. Kaufman over the years when I needed too. I w...ould definitely recommend Mr. Kaufman to anyone.

Mike W. review of Richard Kaufman, divorce attorney

Having never been through anything like this, Richard told me up front pretty much how things would go. Never promising any great results, he came through for me as I was able to settle with the ex for a reasonable amount of time and payments. A bit old fashion when it comes to technology, he will re...ly on his great assistant Melissa to handle the emails and filings. I would recommend Richard as he is very intelligent, easy to talk to and a really nice person. In the end, Richard took very good care of me and provided a very fair payment plan. I would highly recommend Richard. Mike W.

Capable

Richard Kaufman was my legal counsel and represented me as my attorney on several issues related to my divorce and child custody, which spanned an 8 year time period. Richard is a master mediator and advocated for me, finding fair and reasonable solutions to conflict on several occasions, without... the need and expense of litigation. When occasion did require we go to trial, he was well prepared and I felt calm and prepared, myself, thanks to his guidance. Because Richard was a judge, himself, for many years, he knew exactly what information to prepare for trial, which would be most helpful to the judge, in discerning a good decision. Richard had a way of powerfully defending my interests without being disrespectful or "ugly" to opposing parties. He could unflinchingly and calmly hold his ground. His sterling reputation in the legal community is well deserved. I will always be grateful to him for guiding me and protecting me legally, during some of the most challenging transitions of my life.
