Forever grateful
I thought my divorce from a long term marriage was a fairly simple matter with no minor children and few assets. I had no money and no legal background but attempted to represent myself and realized I was in way over my head and in fact, my husband had no intention of "working things out between just...

Great Experiance
I truly feel lucky that I had the opportunity to have Richard represent me. He is extremely knowledgeable with his facts of the law, and also takes a humanistic approach when dealing with situations and others. He listens very carefully and is able to be very effective with putting together best-case...

Richard Alan Schneer
I do not recommend Attorney Richard Alan Schneer. I was a client of his from 2003-2009. My retention of Mr. Schneer was mainly due to my need for an inexpensive attorney and my ignorance on how to rate an attorney. My experience eventually led to high, overall, expenses. He charged me for conversatio...
This client does not tell the public what his circumstance was when he first sought my services, needless to say the six years I represented him were marked by a dramatic increase in time share with this child. One would argue if he was so unhappy with my services why would he have waited 6 years to find another. He complains that I spoke to the other party regarding a proposed order. I am required by rules of court and local rules to do what he now complains I did. If I recall the order issue was resolved in his favor. As for losing files that too is not true. He claims I had an audio tape that from years ago. I did listen to the tape and returned it to the client. He apparently cannot find it and blames me. Client further complains that a matter was dismissed do to "relevance". Actually the matter was denied because the Judge found there was not sufficient change in circumsance to warrant a change.
"I represented one of richard's clients in a criminal matter that was the basis for the family court proceedings. I finally got to see him in action this morning battling it out in court. he was sincere, tenacious and persuasive. he is doing a great job for our mutual client."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is professional and extremely knowledgeable about the law. I have had numerous cases with him as the opposing counsel and have always found him to be an excellent advocate for his client while still being courteous and forthright. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone going through a complex dissolution of marriage."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is smart, tenacious and effective and highly experienced and skilled in all family law areas. Plus he has a wicked sense of humor."
"I endorse this lawyer. I once worked in the same firm as Richard Schneer and observed firsthand his dedication and loyal advocacy to his clients. Since then, I have referred several clients to him, including a case he took over after I had to step out. Richard is relentless in working towards his clients' best interests, and would be an excellent choice for many clients seeking legal representation."
"I have just reviewed a lengthy, comprehensive, accurate answer of Mr. Schneer on Avvo that was customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. These combination of qualities are exactly what every client would be looking for in hiring an attorney. Welcom to Avvo."
"I endorse this lawyer. Richard is smart, empathetic, creative and assertive. He was a formidable opposing counsel and works tirelessly for his clients. He does not churn fees; he is professional."
