Excellence, passion, diligence

Probably one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He really is a godsend. Originally, I had an older lawyer, and he was not doing a good job at all. Three years in court with no results. I fired him and Hired Richard. In less than a year Richard got the 4 unit apartment building tr...ansferred into my name that my mother had left me in her will. He really took it to the opposing council at trial. We are waiting for the Judge's decision now. I feel optimistic about the outcome. So glad he was recommended to me. He is worth every penny

Objective, Reasonable, Calm, and Seasoned. Highly Recommended!!

I was referred to Richard by my mother’s previous attorney. When I called him, I needed a legal guardian for my elderly mother to make sure another family member was not pressuring her to do anything against her will. She needed objective legal advice and Richard provided her with that. We came ...to Richard in a time of emotional upheaval within our family. He explained everything to my mother in calm manner and took care of all the tedious work we just couldn’t handle. He made sure that my mother’s best interest was the focus of every document that came our way. These situations can surely be a nightmare—having your family squabble over their own agenda can be devastating. It is important to have someone like Richard to ease your anxiety. He is a very seasoned, experienced attorney with a calming personality and an ability to disarm even the most difficult of characters. Thank you Richard!!

Satisfied

Richard was able to work with my brother and I during a conservatorship proceeding regarding my mother. We were at conflict with her second husband. Richard was able to deal with my brother and I as we got emotional during the negotiations before we went to court. He helped us come to an agreement... that was agreed to by both parties before the courts were involved. Richard also really seemed to be cognizant of the cost and in my opinion tried to keep it as low as he could for us. This was appreciated.

Expert advocate

In dealing with the loss of a loved one and disputes related to their estate, emotions and tempers can fly high. Having a wise, even-keeled and kind expert in your corner is paramount. Richard Conn is this expert. I consulted with several probate litigators before hiring Richard. What I found... very appealing about Richard's approach was his personable, mild demeanor and fair assessment of the situation posed. He presented to our initial consultation with preparadness and attentiveness. He did not paint a rosy picture like the prior lawyers I consulted with. He did not over-promise results. Yet his mastery of the field, his forthrightness in disclosing his limitations in a particular area, and his realistic illustration of my case prevailed over any hesitations I had about initiating the (litigation) process. The process at times was frustrating and unnerving. I experienced emotional setbacks. I lost hope. Richard remained centered and calm and steered me back. When I was flustered with minutia, he remained unruffled and focused on the big picture. He was extremely responsive and informative. While he didn't convince me to stay the course, he did breath a sense of confidence back into me. I stayed the course. In the end, Richard under-promised and over-delivered. His temperament was so aligned with what my spirit needed and with what the situation demanded that I had no qualms about confronting my adversarial and contentious opposing party with confidence. With his extreme preparedness and unquestionable expertise, he was the best advocate I could have asked for and my matter resolved more favorably than I hoped.

Very satisfied

Richard was given a difficult task with a short window of time. He was very responsive both nights and weekends including Sundays. He did a excellent job and finished a day early.
