I hired private counsel for a custody case. Rich was the lawyer who took my case over. From the start, Rich communicated clearly, honestly and took the time to understand the case. It was important for Rich to achieve the outcome we both desired. The case ended up settling before trial, and it was a ...joyous outcome. I have no doubt that if we went to trial, we would have been extremely pleased with Rich's litigation ability. In dealing with the opposing attorney, Rich professionally called him out on lies his client told, was able to clearly articulate facts of the case that would play into a ruling before a judge and at all times felt Rich had my best interest in mind. It removed a lot of anxiety, and gave me the confidence and assurance that I needed to bring this chapter of my life to a close. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity, you found one. I hope to never need these types of services again, but if I do, Rich will be my first call.
