Fantastic Attorney

Richard is fantastic at Family Law. I have used his practice for the past 10 years. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of this kind of service. He is professional, accurate, thorough and compassionate as others have stated.

Good attorney....I recommend highly

Richard helped me through a tough divorce. We were up against tough opposing council and Richard rose to the challenge. When the going got tough, my original attorney referred me to Richard, as my original attorney thought I would be better served by Richard..especially when things got ugly. My pr...ior attorney was right; and I was glad to have Richard on my side. Any divorce process is painful, I suppose; but Richard made it bearable. The result was as fair in my opinion....which I never thought possible given what I/we were up against. I would highly recommend Richard!

Great Experience in a Horrible Situation

I was very happy with Richard Schneer. He was such an excellent attorney during what I think was a horrible divorce and custody situation. I felt like he really knew my case, seemed very respected by our judge, and it really made things so much better. I would HIGHLY recommend him for your divorce... or family law problems.

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
