Posted by Daniel Wear | January 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Complicated Family Court Case vs a Highly Aggressive Attorney

Richard J. Shurtz was a lifeboat in the midst of a very difficult and emotional custody battle. He is a pen and paper type guy, but don't let that fool you, his years of practice is evident once he hits the courtroom floor. Richard was always on point and in control in court. The opposing party h...ired a smart and very aggressive attorney. Not only did Richard seem unfazed by the extra aggression, but he used their force against them in the courtroom. I highly recommend Richard and his team.

Separation and Custody

Mr. Shurtz was a helpful lawyer as he assisted me with my separation and custody of my son. It was a difficult time in my life and he was very patient and thorough in the preparation for court. He was very understanding of my situation and was always ready for court proceedings. Mr. Shurtz is a goo...d communicator. Mr. Shurtz is an experienced legal professional and I would recommend the legal services of Mr. Shurtz. without hesitation.
