Recommendation

Richard helped settle a child support case. He was very professional and did an excellent job and provided a solution that was equitable for all parties involved and I would highly recommend his services.

Posted by Scott | April 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Life Insurance

Divorce Obligation Dispute concerning Life Insurance requirements once Alimony is met.

Richard defended us from a suit filed by an Ex Wife pursuing a Life Insurance Policy she thought or felt entitled to. Richard was able to help us gather and organize the info pertaining to this suit and defended us from the suitor however the lawsuit went to the Appellate Court. Richard was able to l...ead us to an Attorney of the Court of Appeals and the ruling was in our favor. We would hire Richard anytime and we thank him for all his work.

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!

Posted by Roger | April 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Trustworthy, pragmatic, knowledgeable, and fights for his clients. A high-character winner and a gentleman!

Richard represented me for 18 years regarding custody and child support for a child who lived out-of-state with her mother. He gave sound legal advice, and guided me with making difficult choices when dealing with unreasonable parties. He staunchly and successfully defended my rights and position, an...d seemingly effortlessly negotiated favorable outcomes with the DA before we even entered the courtroom. He got my case back on track after some difficult outcomes when dealing with another state, and was always spot-on with his advice when dealing with the other attorney in the other state. He handled all of my affairs with efficiency and thoroughness. He has become a respected and extremely trusted adviser for me and my family. I HIGHLY recommend him and gladly vouch for him personally and professionally.
