Since 2013 I restrict my real estate practice to transactions, including purchase and leasing, secured financing, advice as general counsel for a real estate firm as well as individual real estate agents. I am also frequently consulted by attorneys concerning real estate disputes, although I no longer take new litigation related to real estate. I currently represent the San Mateo County Bar Assn in leasing space in the building it owns. I also serve as a mediator in real estate disputes.

Posted by Albert | September 21, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Elder Law

Empathetic advocate, conscious, diligent, resourceful, thoughtful

After being referred to Mr. Riechert by my divorce lawyer, he was hired to defend a elder abuse case filed against me and my children. Mr. Riechert worked out the a settlement in the elder abuse case because of his skill of working with others. He got to the core of the case, which there was no basi...s for, and negotiated with the plaintiff and her attorneys and settled it.. During this litigation, we asked Mr. Riechert to get involved in the divorce by supporting my divorce attorney in real estate matters and other issues including breach of fiduciary duties of the other lawyers involved in the case. I requested Mr. Riechert to always appear in court with me for the 17 days of the divorce trial because his input in that litigation was valued by both the very skilled divorce attorney. I found myself in a position that without the diligent, resourceful and thoughtful help of Peter my world would have been devastated. Both Mr. Riechert and my divorce attorney worked together in a professional way and were emotional supportive in a very difficult time. Despite the fact my divorce took over 5 years, Peters helped made a very terrible situation pliable. Mr. Riechert went far beyond what he was paid for to make me comfortable and understand the legal process. I have and would recommend Mr. Riechert because of his superior skills.
