BEST LAWYER IN TOWN!!!!

Rich is hands down one of the best out there. I have had the privileged of hiring him for 2 complicated and extensive custody battles. We had an amazing and positive outcome with both cases. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me make sure everything went accordingly in the best interes...t for my children. Those are very stressful and challenging times in an individuals life and its important that you have a lawyer that cares and goes above and beyond for you. That would be Rich! He is very dedicated and fights some tough battles. Thanks again for all your help!

Top Notch!! Best in Boise!!!

Rich is the best attorney i have ever worked with, and I have worked with him on several matters now he is not like your normal attorney he doesn't treat you just like another client, he genuinely cares about his clients I look at Rich not only as my attorney but as a friend he is extremely professio...nal very well versed in family law and always shows up prepared and ready for court we hired him a second time to do a termination/adoption after having a bad experience previously with another attorney I was very distraught but Rich always shows up and Saves the Day!!! He communicated with me through the entire process sending me emails on a weekly basis explaining all of the steps and process of what was happening he always kept me in the loop and up to date. The Day of court he showed up early and was prepared with all of the correct documents and everything went smoothly and it was the best day of Our Lives! I would highly recommend Rich to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney he is professional intelligent hardworking and extremely personable I will never be able to thank him enough for all of his hard work and Devotion to our case. Thank you so much for all you have done for our family we are forever grateful!

Well prepared, passionate, caring.

Rich is a phenomenal lawyer. I knew I wanted to hire Rich at our first meeting when he didn’t sugar coat my situation. He is a no nonsense lawyer and he calls it how it is. From the beginning of my case Rich was able to breakdown the opposing counsels case and I often knew what was coming my way. In ...the courtroom he was confident and well prepared. So well prepared that I felt he knew more about my case than I did. He knew what to argue and how to argue it too. Rich is also a passionate man and seems to thoroughly enjoy what he does. He truly cares not only about your case but about you as a person calling me on multiple occasions just to check in and see how things were going. He was more than willing to work with my financial situation and I highly recommend you hire Rich. Not only is Rich great but the people in his office are as well they are friendly, easy to get a hold of, and quick to respond. My case turned out better than I expected and as a young father I couldn’t be more thankful for all the hard work Rich and everyone else put into my case.

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!

Compassionate and tenacious

Rich was not the attorney I intended to have represent me in my divorce; however, I could not be happier with the great care he took over my case. The attorney I retained (at the same firm) was healing from a surgery and was wrapped up in court, in the most complex custody case they had ever seen. I ...was not dismayed in the slightest as Rich took over the reigns and quickly gained my confidence. While a relatively young attorney, he lacked none of the skills necessary to fight for my rights as I saw them and provide sound advice. He was compassionate, eager, punctual, and aggressive (but not overly). Even though I was the respondent in a divorce, I often felt we had the upper hand. Rich always made time for me even for the little things. He never minimized my questions or concerns but provided reassurance when I needed it. He always matched my level of attention and care for a situation. I was blessed to be referred by a friend to Marcus, Hardee, Davies, and Piñol. The best ending I could’ve asked for. Thank you again Rich!!
