Review Richard Huver

Found the best (Huver) after first have the worst (Carauana)

Posted by

I was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in downtown San Diego. Hiring a lawyer was a new experience for me and I messed up big time hiring Mark Caruana who presents himself as a great lawyer who's going to represent you well and get things done (wrong). He hardly did anything and after over a year I still didn't have any results and he didn't return my calls. I was referred to Mr. Huver by someone who respected him and wow was there a difference. He was professional, reassuring (but realistic), worked on my case at a consistent pace with real results. My former major lack of confidence in "lawyers" disappeared because I had finally found someone who was fair, got results, communicated often with milestones, and really cared. Within a much shorter time of hiring him he had successfully negotiated a fair settlement. I could not have been happier with Mr. Huver and wholeheartedly recommend him. Don't mess with the incompetent lawyers out there---hire Richard Huver for results!

Very Impressive

Posted by

Mr. Huver kept me very involved in the process of settling a personal injury insurance case. He was up front at the beginning of the process of how long I should expect the overall process to take and kept me apprised every step of the way. Mr Huver was great in explaining my options and his recommendations. He always responded promptly to my inquiries and I found him very knowledgeable. Thank you for all your help!!

Fastest Car Accident Litigation ever! Truely an expert in his Field!

Posted by

Last year I was in an automobile accident and had to retain Mr. Huver's services. He was very professional and always kept my interests in mind. His expertise with insurance companies made the whole process move quickly and the entire situation was resolved in my favor, sooner than I ever expected. I would absolutely retain Mr. Huver's services again and would refer him to any of my closest friends or family.

Are you an attorney? Endorse this lawyer

George Delaflor, Insurance Attorney on Jan 5, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Avvo doesn't give enough options for the reference to a "relationship" with the attorney being endorsed. Richard Huver is a high profile attorney in the community, so I know him through community and professional involvement and reputation. Through that, and over time, he became my friend. When I needed a lawyer, I turned to him. It was the best decision of my life (ok, mayve AFTER marrying my wife). Through that involvement, I grew to realize that Richard was not just a friend, he was my very good friend, or so he became, and an example of what a lawyer should be. My admiration grew. I have high standards in my own practice, but I learned much from Richard. His work ethic, and his legal ethics, are second to none. His intellect and tenacity are amazing. He is a lawyer's lawyer.

Ronald Cook, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 30, 2014

I endorse Richard. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

James Dicks, Personal injury Attorney on Nov 29, 2013

I endorse this lawyer. The attorney works very hard for the clients and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney.

Kevin Murphy, Litigation Attorney on Mar 9, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

As a Co-Chair of the Law Practice Management Section of the San Diego County Bar, I have worked closely with Richard on organizing activities, coordinating Continuing Legal Education seminars and hosting social networking events with other legal professional groups. Richard has a strong work ethic and accomplishes tasks with efficient diligence. He has strong leadership qualities and I would feel competent to have him represent my interests in a lawsuit.

I firmly endorse Richard Huver. In the past, he has assisted with difficult insurance questions. He was the past President of the local consumer attorneys' organization and did a terrific job. His primary practice is personal injury and insurance, and he is part of an excellent firm, working with Harvey Levine and Harris Steinberg. Elizabeth Banham
