100% Strong, Smart, Aggressive

6 Year Divorce War… I could only afford Mr. Freed for a couple of years. He would probably kill me for saying this… He continued to support me when I had a questions for the following 3 years while I went to trial. I won! I would not have won without his help. Over the course of the last 6 years The... attorneys I have opposed have been some of the most vial human beings. He would have taken them all. The best part is that he’s got tremendous heart. He wins with the heart of a lion instead of the trickery of a jackal. Although I’m sure if needed, he could muster up plenty of the latter as well.

Divorce and Child Custody

I had the good fortune to have Mr. Richard Freed as my attorney in a divorce and child custody court case. While my former spouse pursued several avenues that required multiple court appearances, Mr. Freed won each time that we went to court. He gained better-than-satisfactory support and division ...of property decisions for me and my son. His representation and legal guidance made significant positive impacts on both my own and my son’s lives. He successfully kept my son in the high school where he played four sports each year and remained with the friends he still keeps in close contact with today. I am certain that this solid foundation helped him to complete college and onto a promising career in the US Navy. (E-6 in slightly over four years.) I frequently hear stories about the problems children have when being moved into unfamiliar schools late in their high school years. Mr. Freed helped keep us together and close to the family my son grew up with. This gave me great piece of mind especially as I was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq during part of that time. This in-turn benefitted my Army career. I actually enjoyed sitting with him as we got through those tense court appearances. I recommend him without reservation.

You Can Trust Richard Freed

Richard Freed took over my case after a previous attorney failed to execute efficiently and arguably ethically. It was a long arduous journey, but Mr. Freed was professional, ethical and understanding throughout. His ability to communicate complicated legal issues in plain language gave me comfort, p...eace of mind, and ultimately my desired outcome.

Compassionate and Knows How to Keep the Kid's Best Interests at the Forefront

I would give value a 6 if I could. Richard was a no-nonsense and compassionate attorney who represented me in a child custody case where my exhusband was allowing his new wife to mistreat my children when in his care. Richard knew from the outset that my intention was to protect my children, not pena...lize my husband. He worked through multiple iterations of engagements with my ex'es attorney and helped me keep my priorities in line when emotions were running high. We resolved amicably with some workable modifications to our child support agreement, and avoided a two-day trial and thousands of dollars. I cannot more highly recommend Richard and his staff for their efficiency, efficacy and ability to keep me informed and and aware of my case status. Great, great team.
