This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Super knowledgeable attorney

Mr. Abdallah came off to me as a super knowledgable and ethical attorney who understands the law. He was recommended to me by 3 different attorneys. His name kept popping up so I decided to give him a call. I have been in pro per and have been doing lots of legal research on my case to keep costs d...own. He was one of the very few attorneys who was familiar with the case law and statutes for my unique circumstances. After a quick assessment of my case he recommended I try to settle with the other party and continue working alone to keep costs down and retain services of an attorney closer to trial, provided my matter does not get settled. I felt like he was looking after my best interests. I would highly recommend Mr. Abdallah's services.

PROFESSIONAL, CARING, AND A BULLDOG WHEN NECESSARY

Mr. Abdallah is my attorney in a contentious divorce case. He is not only well versed in the Family Law Code, but also very familiar with the specific local rules of Sacramento County. While he recognizes there is huge value in settling issues outside of Court, Mr. Abdallah is not afraid to take th...e fight to a Judge and advocate on my behalf. He is very skilled in litigating issues in Court. Mr. Abdallah is great at listening but he will not sugar coat the facts. Mr. Abdallah has responded quickly and thoroughly to all of my calls for help. I cannot imagine having any other attorney represent me in my divorce case.

A Great Advocate

I hired Mr. Abdallah to help with a very contentious divorce. I found his professionalism and empathy a great comfort in a difficult time. He was honest about our prospects and gave me realistic expectations throughout the process. Mr. Abdallah's representation gave me a far better outcome than I exp...ected going into the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great attorney.

Highly Recommended-Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Professional

Working with Rich has been an excellent experience. Rich has provided outstanding legal guidance through my divorce process. In less than a month I was receiving spousal support, it gave me the stability i needed to be sucessful. I always felt like everything was being taken care of, my emails and p...hones calls were returned immediately. My legal costs were efficiently managed throughout the process. I can't thank Rich enough, he positively changed my life. Thanks Rich!

Such an amazing soul and an "EXCELLENT" attorney!

I was introduced to Richard Abdallah through a very beautiful soul I call my sister. I whole heartedly thank Abdallah for taking on my cases and representing me as I couldn't have done this without him. I highly recommend Abdallah to anyone looking to hire an attorney. I was informed of Abdallah’s... knowledge, expertise, and professionalism prior to meeting him. After meeting with my attorney and discussing my case with him I found him to be very kind, understanding, and very professional. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be represented by this kind soul on two separate court matters in which both thankfully ended in our favor. My divorce case had ended in 2009 but in January of 2015 I was back in court for a custody matter. Prior to having an attorney I was extremely nervous as I had never dealt with court issues on my own and was scared of losing my children. Once Abdallah took my case and reviewed it, he took the time to explain the process in the simplest way possible instead of using fancy terminology to confuse me. He responded to my phone calls and emails in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop throughout the process. Just recently, October 2016, I was once again fortunate enough to be represented by this amazing soul who proved once again through his hard work and dedication to his clients that he's the right person to be represented by. I am in lost of words for this second experience I had with Abdallah as there was a very small window of time to work with. I originally thought I’d be able to represent myself and that my case wouldn't require an attorney until my case took a turn and I was in need of an attorney last minute. I literally discussed my case with Abdallah 5 days prior to my hearing and he took the time to hear me out and reviewed my case. By taking my case immediately in such short time proved to me that Abdallah is extremely confident in his abilities and his expertise. At our hearing I was to make a decision and he explained all the possibilities in the simplest terms to help me understand my position in the case, instead of rushing me to make a decision. He further presented my case using his professionalism, knowledge, and his expertise and was fully prepared to defend his client and he did, which resulted in a very positive outcome.
