Richard Edmund Paris

I was originally referred to Mr. Paris by a friend and former client. From our first meeting it was clear that Mr. Paris was very knowledgeable. My case was borderline, and I didn't have the funds to pay him a retainer or fee's. He accepted my case on a contingency basis, probably knowing going in th...ere wasn't much of a chance of winning. He fought hard and kept me informed every step of the way. My case carried on for months and no doubt Mr. Paris had countless hours of his time invested. Even when it became clear chances of winning were slim he would not give up. This man gets his teeth into a case he does not let go. I will forever be indebted to him for his tenacity and hard work. A more trustworthy and knowledgeable attorney you will not find.

I have used Richard several times in dealing with my wife's X-Husband. It's a very, very tricky and delicate situation and Richard has given me really solid advice time and again, and has managed to actually keep me more or less OUT of court, which I consider to be the greatest service an attorney c...an provide. He's also advised me in some real estate issues and represented me in a very terrifying and serious harassment situation wherein I was actually worried about the welfare of my family. I've been getting help from Richard since I moved to Marin County from the East bay in 2004. I deal with attorneys every day in my line of work and know the inner workings of the legal profession, and I can tell you Richard is one of the good ones. Don't expect him to candy-coat your situation. He'll be straight with you and give you a good idea of the odds of coming out on top. He also knows the judicial make-up over at the civic center ... knowing the judges and their disposition and the way they tend to rule is HUGE and a big part of the legal strategizing. Im writing this and seeing two negative reviews in the right hand column and am a bit baffled. I've never been over billed and he hasn't make any mistakes in my dealing with him. He's a good guy and a hard worker who knows his business and all the stuff he's done for me has definitely been done and billed in a fair way.

Richard Paris is a man with integrity, a rare quality in anyone, much less and attorney these days. He helped me with a very difficult divorce and I found him to be unfailingly kind, sincere and helpful with me under very difficult circumstances yet maintaining the necessary clarity of purpose and i...ntent in highly charged circumstances. He was always fully on my side. I highly recommend his services, especially for those that have gone through (or been burnt by) numerous attorneys who promise you one thing when they want your money, and deliver quite another when the going gets tough.

I have consulted with Richard Paris on a few legal issues over the past 4 or 5 years. Each time he was thorough in asking questions to enable him to give me the best advice. Several times he contacted me after a consultation with new questions or advice, which always served me well. He is a very i...ntelligent and kind attorney, and I highly recommend him.
