Richard William Postma Jr.

I have to say, Mr. Postma's reviews are true. I fired my former attorney and had to find a new one. No one would take my case. Then Mr. Postma gave me a 30 minute consultation. He was suspicious of my reasons for firing my last lawyer but asked me to bring him some documents to verify what I ...was saying. He then took my case 2 weeks before trial. His cross examination of my wife was fabulous. He found some information on her that even I was not aware of. The judge granted me 50/50 shared parenting time and parental responsibilities, which my former attorney in Greenwood Village said was not likely. My former attorney made everything so complicated, but Mr. Postma simplified everything for the judge. I now realize I was sputtering whenever I talked about my wife's accusation, and Mr. Postma helped me realize this and helped my simplify was I was really upset about, which turned out to me something that surprised even me. He helped me calm down, helped me realize what was actually important at trial and what was not, and helped me simplify my own testimony at trial and during cross examination. Mr. Postma is personable and seems to have an actual real life example from his long experience as an attorney for what I was facing, how the judge would process the information, what my ex-wife's motivations were and how she would react at trial, and what the judge's likely decision would be. He is like a chess player who has thought out every possible move a dozen moves in advance. I can't say enough about this attorney.

I hired Richard Postma for a custody case. Another attorney who turned down my case recommended him. Mr. Postma gave me an initial consult unlike any of the other attorneys I spoke with. He took me from where I was at (Point A), where I wanted to go (Point B) and then explained the obstacles in my... way and how could get around them if I accepted his advice. It was frustrating, and it took more than a year, but now I have shared custody of my daughter. Looking back, I appreciate the advice Mr. Postma gave me because by telling me to treat the custody case like a marathon and not a sprint and to be patient and take it one step at a time, he got me where I wanted to go. His bill was high, but when my ex-wife asked the court for her attorney fees I realized she had spent almost twice on her attorney that I spent on Mr. Postma, and Mr. Postma found a way to convince the court to not make me pay for her attorney. Overall, I am very satisfied.

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.
