Best of the Best!!

You cannot find a more professional, yet approachable, office than the Law Office of Richard Eldridge. I highly recommend this office if you want an experienced, knowledgeable and caring attorney. Rick is a Family Law Specialist which I believe gives his clients the extra level of expertise in the in...tricacies of dealing with family law cases. Rick and Deborah know the law extremely well! What a team!! Their attention to detail is exquisite! My somewhat complicated case needed this level of professionalism. I wish I had found this office when initially going through my divorce 3.5 years ago. After going back to court with my ex-husband, issues that should have been taken care of the first time around are now completed. Financial issues like the Grant Deed to my house and Retirement Account division which my first attorney did not seem able to get done are now completed. Spousal support has been clarified. I needed to establish safety for my children. Rick and his staff helped me to present evidence to achieve a decision which offers more protection for them. I was able to get sole legal and physical custody of my children, which is what was needed in this case for their safety. I feel like Rick and his staff truly are concerned about getting the best outcome for all involved, especially the children affected by these court decisions. I will forever recommend this office to anyone I know who needs these services.

Top Notch - Best of the Best!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Rick and his team. They are by far the best firm I've ever dealt with. Rick was the first of 4 attorneys I've hired that actually took the time to understand my case and proactively seek resolution and compromise. He's hands on, always available, and we...ll organized. He works crazy hours so he is always accessible and happy to help. I cannot say one bad thing about him. My case was very complicated and drawn out so I worked with Rick for almost 6 months straight and never once felt misled or disappointed. He is a truly ethical attorney who will work hard for you. I very highly recommend Rick, you will not be unhappy.

A Huge 5 Star rating for this office!

I cannot convey enough gratitude for all the phenomenal and kind help I received from Richard A Eldridge. From the first phone call I made to his staff, to my last couple of meetings and emails, it has made me wish that I had found them for legal help first! I was assisted in a way I never though...t was possible and so desperately needed. Richard is one of the hardest working attorneys and is part of a dynamic team between him and his paralegal. I have encountered and worked with so many different legal professionals over the years and this law firm stands out in all the best ways we as consumers, shoppers, & clients hope to stumble upon. I’d like to mention as a client trying to get through the smallest and yet what feels like most complex family law case around, my experiences with other attorney’s before Rick seemed to just make it worst. My previous attorney gave me very little help and left me completely vulnerable to the other side. NOW in contrast to those unfavorable experiences more times than I wish to count- my search after coming across Rick has finally ended and makes me wish this is where I should have been since day one. At this point now there is no one else and no other firm I would trust to handle any of my legal matters in such an experienced and swift manner. This law firm was on my side from day one and produced results in a way that completely exceeded any and all of my expectations. I am overwhelmed by their proficiency, diligence, and over all very at ease feeling you get from the moment you walk in the door. I can finally breathe easier and sleep at night. I will always recommend Rick to anyone with a family law matter because of the abundance of assistance I needed and received and because it’s all too difficult to find this kind of help from the get go. I know this all too well as you perhaps do too.

5 Star Rating for Mr. Eldridge!!

I initially hired Mr. Eldridge from a referral from another client. He represented me in a complex custody case for my daughter. We obtained sole legal and physical custody, which is what we wanted. What I loved about Mr. Eldridge was that the office atmosphere was comfortable and that he put me a...t ease , which made it easy to trust him. He provided on the spot step by step guidance, which is what I needed. I have referred others to him, and would do so again.

Rick to the Rescue

My family and I recently hired Richard Eldridge to represent one member going through a divorce action. Our experience could not have been better! Mr. Eldridge's professionalism, knowledge of the law, and commitment to our case was only enhanced by his caring nature. His goal was to help us get throu...gh this difficult time in a timely manner through dedication and hard work. His office staff and paralegal were always helpful and positive as well. I highly recommend this firm for anyone needing a family law attorney. What a team!
