5 stars – Exceptional Divorce & Family Law Representation

Richard is a brilliant and compassionate family law attorney—the kind you hope for but rarely find. I was referred to him by the Orange County Bar Association for a complicated divorce and child custody case as a modest means client. From the moment he took my case, I knew I was in the best hands. ... Despite my ex hiring an aggressive, high-powered law firm, Richard protected my legal rights, my parental interests, and my peace of mind. He’s strategic, knowledgeable, calm in court, and fearless when it comes to standing up for his clients—even against the judge when the law is on his side. He genuinely cares about resolving your case—not prolonging it—and gives 100% to help you move forward. He thinks through every detail and makes sure you understand the strategy and possible outcomes. If you're facing a difficult divorce, custody issue, or need a protective advocate in family court, Richard is absolutely the attorney you want by your side. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best family law representation in Orange County.

Awesome attorney

After interviewing several lawyers, Richard was the most knowledgable in helping me with my case. He was very friendly and honest unlike other attorneys who are only interested in a hefty deposit. Thank you Richard !

Richard was a great lawyer to work with during my divorce

Richard was great to work with handling my divorce. Not only is he extremely competent with the law, his warm spirit helped calm me down during those times where I was completely stressed out. He was prompt getting back to me whenever I had a question about how to handle things my ex (and I had a ...lot of questions.) I was in a situation where I had far more assets than my ex, so I was going to end of giving up assets. But, in the end, his expertise and sound advice helped make the end result much better than I could have ever expected. I think divorces could be nicer if you attornies have the kind spirit that Richard has.

This lawyer is great!

I never hired a lawyer before but had a huge problem with my ex and he hired a lawyer so I thought I needed one too. Richard met with me and my mother and father the same day we called and spent about an hour with us. We all felt confident with him so I hired him. We met 2-3 times and on court day he... knew everything about my case. After a two hour trial we won the case and I got my son back. He is handling my divorce now. This lawyer is very smart, confident, listens and gives straight answers when asked a question. His office is always full of people. The only problem is that he is hard to get on the phone because he is so busy but his clerk is very nice and speaks Spanish.

I think Simon is confused. Lets be clear here - I was Simon's "Wifes" lawyer, not his. I am sorry that he is upset but my obligation(s) are to my client, not him.
