Great, professional, and confident

Rich was a pinch hitter while Greg was out of town and had little time to prepare for the trial. He did awesome and he was on it. There was no question he knew his way around a trial. I would also rate his mustache (not pictured) a 5 five as well.

Honest, hard-working, compassionate and an amazing advocate

Rich was an amazing advocate for me during a very contentious guardianship case. The knowledge, attention to detail and tireless work that Rich put into my case was impressive. There were numerous documents and other pieces of evidence that Rich reviewed with me to build the best case. He spent long ...afternoons and even weekends going over this evidence and preparing for the various hearings that were happening in a short time frame. Rich was able to get an expedited trial set for me at the onset of the case which was fantastic but it also increased his workload, he took on this added pressure without hesitation. Rich and his team were compassionate in recognizing how sensitive and emotionally charged my case was. They were also very honest in what they relayed to me and the possible outcomes that could happen. My daughters and I were important to Rich and his team and the many hours that they put into my case resulted in the positive outcome.

Hard working and very professional

I actually changed lawyers midway through my child custody/support case to be able to have Rich represent me. He is amazing at what he does, extremely hard working, and he makes you feel heard which was important to me. Within the first week of having Rich as my lawyer he had done more for my case th...an my previous lawyer had done for me and my case in 5 months. He not only fought hard for me, but with his knowledge of the law, he was able to get me a better outcome in my case than I was planning for. I highly recommend Rich to anyone who is in need of a child custody/support lawyer.

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.
