Richard George Fathy

Yes Rich is foul mouthed and arrogant. But he handled a case for me a few years ago and did a superlative job. The case never should have even gotten to attorneys but the person suing me was inexperienced in business and angry ( a bad combination). The attorney for the other side soaked his client fo...r $120,000 while my costs were 1/2 of that and I was in the position of having to provide all of the documentation, they had only to read it. THe case never went to court (thank God) because Rich absolutely slayed the opposition during depositions. This forced a settlement instead of an expensive and difficult trial. Yes Rich's rate is high. But frequently during the two year process I would wish to respond to some accusation or manuver by the other side. Rich would tell me: I can do that for you but there's no point to it and my rate is $300 per hour. I would begin to protest and want to explain how unfair life is and while I was talking he would yawn and look at his watch. This was Rich's subtle and diplomatic way of telling me I was wasting my money. I learned a great deal from Rich. If you need a warm and fuzzy feeling from your attorney ("oh my goodness that is sooooo unfair") and are willing to pay $350 per hour to do so. Rich is definately not your guy. My settlement was expensive but under the circumstances I believe it was the best that could have been achieved. I feel I was very ably represented, the representation saved me considerable money not to mention anguish and I can highly recommend Rich.
