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.

No regrets

Richard (Rich) is very personable. Divorce is a hard and confusing time. I always felt that Rich listened to my concerns and questions. When he wasn't 100% sure on one of my questions, he would seek further guidance to make sure that I was answered correctly. Rich went out of his way several ...times to make sure I understood what was going on. I never felt like I couldn't ask for clarification. Rich has a way of getting down on your level and explaining things several ways until he feels confident that you understand. I always felt like Rich had my best interest at heart. When I wanted things to go different, he would give me his opinion and then allow me to choose what I felt was best for me. I highly recommend Rich, I am very thankful I had him and the firm on myside. -Tabatha

Divorce Attorney

I went to Rich at first for a consultation, after meeting with him I hired him as my divorce lawyer. He was very kind, knowledgeable and took the time to explain things in detail. He and his staff always answered my questions and concerns in a timely matter.

Help with QRDO

I needed help to finish my QDRO and I was having trouble finding an attorney. Most said they wouldn't even handle a job that small, or lacked motivation to get it done. Rich was very polite and helped me get it done right away. Thanks Rich!

did the job but could have been a better experience

Rich did complete the job he was hired to do and advocated the terms I wanted in my divorce. The process was frustrating however, communication could have been better. Consistently I felt I would only get updates on the process if I asked very specific questions and I was left guessing a lot of the... time.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
