Divorce and Separation 50%

I focus on high conflict divorce and custody cases. Each case is unique and requires an experienced professional to obtain the best results. Don't head into a divorce thinking the other side will be reasonable. In doing so you are most likely giving up rights that are entitled to receive. I offer a free 30 min consultation

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great outcome!

Kevin Richards was awesome ! My case was treated with great care and even though the outcome was going to be difficult to get to, Kevin took it on with vigor and enthusiasm and made me feel comfortable with the process. (My back story in a nut shell) I am a father of two from different mothers. My yo...ungest asked to come live with me as she was not happy with her mother. And against all odds being a divorced man in Utah I needed help with this. Enter Kevin Richards! With his help, I now have custody of my daughter against all odds! Thank you Kevin, you are the best! I am so happy! Brad and Dee

Always been responsive

Kevin and his firm has always been responsive to my needs. He was instrumental in ending a divorce that my previous attorney let drag on for years.

Helped me be patient

Kevin helped lay out a plan to get majority custody of my kids and get back into my house. By following his advice I was able to keep on track and not get drawn it my ex's drama games.

Our disaster with Kevin Richards

My children were in danger of being taken from the state by my ex-wife and her new husband who has a charge of child abuse. I paid Mr. Richards a retainer of $1500 and he assured me that he would file a Temporary Protective Order and help me keep my children in the state. Then there was only silenc...e. I could not get him to respond to my calls. I turned in the information I needed and was told by his assistant that he would read it and call me to come in and sign. Nothing happened. His assistant told me not to give my children to my ex-wife because he was filing the order. I was given a ticket for custodial interference. Finally Mr. Richards called me and told me that he didn't have enough information for a restraining order. My children are gone. I have had to retain another attorney. Mr. Richards did exactly nothing. If anything he made my situation much worse. I could never recommend this attorney.

Replied last May 3, 2017

The issue is that the client never returned to finish the work and we called him several times. He had asked us to hold off on the case and he would get back with us.

Avvo Rating

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.
