The best counsel for the worst of times

Rich has provided excellence in all areas through my recent divorce and child custody processes. Rich upholds the highest standards of professionalism, works diligently for the best possible outcome for his clients and remains humble when he achieves them. Rich is communicative, organized and ins...ightful. He is empathic and sensitive to the personal aspect of family law; he takes the time to really listen, understand the dynamics of issues such as domestic abuse, document all details and develop strategy. I could not have asked for more integrity or quality service in my legal counsel for one of the most difficult periods of my life. This goes equally for all staff on Rich's team. I would recommend Rich and his team to anyone in need of the best representation in family law.

Sharp, Detail Oriented, Trustworthy Attorney

Rich has assisted with and has been representation for me for the last few years while going through a custody adjustment for my teenager. Rich is extremely sharp and detail oriented. He took the time on many occasions to review and explain the legal process to me while laying out what the best cours...e of action would be for my case. Never did I doubt his recommendations as he is very trustworthy and transparent with his knowledge. Rich is able to explain the why’s which I found very help. With Rich’s expertise and guidance, I was able to secure primary physical custody of my son (as a father) which will forever impact his life for the better. I can’t thank Rich and Team enough for what they have done for me and my family. I would highly recommend Rich’s services.

Beyond grateful for Rich and his team!

The best thing I ever did was listen to my gut and hire Rich. I initially sat down with him 2 years ago for a free consult. Rich ended up spending well over an hour of his time with me asking questions and taking notes. When I finally pulled the trigger and hired Rich he was completely familiar with ...who I was and still had our original notes 2 years later. Rich and his team have above and beyond exceeded any expectation I had walking into this. Rich genuinely has his clients best interest in mind, this was displayed countless times throughout our time spent leading up to trial. If you are looking for a down to earth, intelligent family attorney who is not afraid to fight for what is right, then you are looking in the right place! Best decision I ever made!

Worth every penny

I initially hired Rich to help me defend some very serious allegations like drinking and driving with my child in the car and accusations of domestic violence in my home. At the time I was at risk of losing my 50/50 custody due to these allegations. Rich was available pretty much whenever I needed hi...m to be to discuss the case. He foreshadowed the family law court process for me so I knew what to expect and exactly what my options were. I found Rich to be extremely efficient in everything he did and kept every deadline we had. my custody case lasted many months and ultimately I was able to clear my name plus maintain custody of my son. For context Rich was my attorney for several months and about 18k of attorney fees. I would not hesitate to hire Rich again if needed. Worth every penny.

Great Family Law Attorney

Rich was extremely professional and helpful in resolving my case. He did incredible research and wrote an amazing legal brief concerning my largest assets showing I was protected by the law. Rich thinks quickly on his feet and his expertise in family law is unparalleled.
