This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Stellar Professional

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Rich Feuerstein and his team are what I would consider to be stellar professionals, and experts at their trade. When I found myself drowning in a contentious divorce, I interviewed 6 different attorneys. After meeting with Rich, I left the office saying "that's ...my guy" and never regretted the decision. His expertise and decisiveness gave me peace of mind at every dip of the roller coaster. His strategy was always sound but flexible with a constant changing situation. And for me, I will forever be grateful for he and his team being available, and not making me feel like I was alone in the situation. Rich and his team always made me fee like they had my back, and shared a goal of finding resolution, not billable hours. I was preparing myself for a long drawn out battle, but thankfully reached resolution in a few months. He and his firm have my gratitude and highest recommendation.

I just wanted to thank you

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent work and great advice you gave me during the recent tough times. You were my best friends during that period, and I was fortunate to have you on my side.

I was so impressed

I was so impressed that when the unfortunate occurrence happened and my daughter also went through a divorce, I turned to the firm again. Rich and Ms Murphy helped my daughter through her time, which involved a complex child-custody situation. They were both fantastic. My daughter was able to call wi...th specific questions and knew that someone was there for her who knew the ins and outs of the law. The outcome was also very fair and reasonable for both parents and their child.

When I found

When I found myself going through a very unexpected divorce, I was referred by a friend to Rich Feuerstein of Feuerstein & Murphy. One of the best referrals I've ever received. From the initial consultation and throughout the following months, I found Mr. Feuerstein to be not only well informed and i...n possession of a sound strategy, but also genuinely friendly and supportive. Although the law office is apparently a very busy one, I never felt like "just another case" and my emails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Now, years after the conclusion of my divorce, I've had to request some documentation from Feuerstein & Murphy and was reminded again how everyone in the office--from the receptionist to the paralegals to Mr. Feuerstein himself--is extremely helpful. I readily refer Rich Feuerstein to anyone entering the divorce process.

I always received

I always received fast and detailed responses to my legal questions from Feuerstein and Murphy. They understand that litigation is expensive and do everything they can to keep fees to a reasonable rate.

"I endorse this lawyer. The best family law attorney in town! His superior knowledge of pertinent law, unsurpassed creativity and negotiation skills by far exceed one's expectations. Each time our office has a client in need of family law services, it is to Rich that we turn to solve our clients' pressing civil law and dissolution problems. Rich has never disappointed any of the clients we referred him over the years. On the contrary, the results he obtained on behalf of our clients, overwhelmingly surpassed other lawyers' results."
