Richard William Postma Jr.

I presented Mr. Postma with an extraordinarily complex case that was essentially 30 cases in one. To defend this case required him to develop a good working knowledge of a subject that requires years of study to really understand. He had about a month. He was able to prepare a superb brief and pre...sent the facts in a compelling way. He maintained his credibility and objectivity. I don't know the outcome of the case yet but I can say that I was well represented. I have worked with a variety of attorneys over the years and Mr. Postma was the best I have ever worked with.

Mr. Postma was very helpful. After days of calling many attorneys, courts, and police in different states with each of them giving us the run around with what we should do. He was able to give us the answers that we needed. Beyond helpful with all the information and advice he was able to give us ov...er the phone.

Richard is not only a fantastic lawyer but a great person. He is articulate and extremely knowledgeable of the law. He is attentive and responds with not just the legal, but the human character. He helped me when I was down and in a dark place with no light at the end of my case. Divorce is never a ...happy place, but he inspired me and helped me fight for what I needed. He is honest, fair, and just. Sometimes we do not like the answers we get; Richard will tell you what you need to know good or bad. Without his help it would have been impossible to accomplish what I needed and where I am today.

I hired this attorney because a JAG at Fort Bragg recommended him. He really came threw for me after my wife kidnapped the kids, ran to Alaska, and filed for divorce. Met him for the first time when i came to alaska for trial. Totally prepared for the expert retirement evaluator and my wife's lies.... Someone says he was not afraid of judges, and boy is that the truth. He would whisper to me what he was about to do and how the judge would react or rule, and he was right every time. One time postma told me he wanted the judge to rule one way but that the judge would never rule in his favor, so he asked the judge to rule the completely opposite way, knowing that when the judge denied his objection Postma would actually got the decision that he wanted in the first place. The other attorney actually asked the judge to admit document into the evidence, and then an hour later realized his mistake when Postma used the very same document against my ex wife's expert witness. it was unreal.

Represented my in my divorce with an abusive husband. I hired him after the judge denied my petition for a protective order. He gave me great advice about how to deal with my husband, his attorney and the judge. Represent me at the long term hearing and got my long term protective order. Richard du...g into my husbands background, and caught him red handed lying under oaths about his spanking and beating our son. About a dozen times in court he told me what he thought the judge was about to say or do, or how the judge would react, and then the judge would do or say exactly what Mr. Postma said he would do. After about the 6th or 7th time this happened I stopped questioning Mr. Postma's advice and strategy and just watched him work the witness, the judge and the other attorney. Postma also seemed to know what my husband and his mother would say on the stand, and what questions to ask or not ask better than I did. It was as if Postma knew my husband and mother in law better than i did. It was amazing. Postma got the judge to award me about 55% of marital estate and some temporary alimony while I get some medical done, which two other attorney i interview said would not likely happen. Mr. Postma is a very good attorney? At first, my concern was that Postma handles too many cases. At first I resented his returning my calls and emails at the end of the day, and sometimes it was hard to schedule an appointment because he seemed to always be out of the office or with another client. However as my court approached he was 100% available during the two weeks prior to trial. in court he turns off his cell phone so he could give my case 100% of his attention and focus, which means Mr. Postma didn't call his other clients back until the end of the day after he was done with court in my case. I appreciated his diligence and focus in my case, and how he manages time to keep my bill down. I think Mr. Postma should tell his clients this up front so they better understand why he waits until the end of the day to return phone calls and emails when you first hire him, because I think most of his clients will understand and appreciate his focus and hard work at the end of the case. I rate him a top attorney.
