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!

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.

Smart, dogged, honest and effective.

Rich became my primary attorney for my divorce, as represented by Marcus, Christian, Hardee and Davies. My divorce, at first blush, seemed to be straight forward. However, like many things in life, complications arose soon after. What my spouse wanted through the divorce was not only unreasonable, bu...t not based on the law (the other side was asking for 80% of our entire estate). Rich then took on the job of educating opposing counsel by citing case law and our trial position, to which the other side conceded. This was accomplished because Rich displayed superior legal knowledge, patience, doggedness and at times, when necessary, a frankness with opposing counsel in order to keep things moving forward with settlement as our goal. I am happy to report Rich achieved substantially equal distribution of our estate. While the divorce was painful and frustrating for me, Rich, Brandi, and Sofia (My Team!) kept me grounded and helped me from making mistakes based on emotion. When I needed them, they were all in my corner. I cannot stress how much I would recommend Rich to anyone who has a family law issue.

Review

Rich has a bright personality. He listened to my concerns and put his input on what we should do next. I got more time with my son plus some makeup time for the all the missed ones. I highly recommended Rich because he is all about family and what’s in the best interest of that family.

Amazing attorney and fantastic person

Richard is very down to earth and reasonable. He is a straight shooter and always gave me enough information to make an intelligent and informed decision, but never told me what I had to do. He knows his stuff and can advise on issues but I felt in control each step of the way. I highly recommend ...Richard for anyone who needs domestic/divorce services.
