Divorce Counseling

Richard did a great job helping me work through the issues surrounding my divorce. Despite it on the surface being a very simple case, Richard helped me navigate the ugly spots when it became contentious. I would heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a sane voice while dealing with an unnecess...arily combative situation.

Simply amazing

I found Rick through AVVO, met with him, and was so impressed that I wanted him as my attorney. And, now I can say he is simply amazing and this software engineer is very thankful. My biggest mistake was not finding Rick sooner. Rick did an outstanding job at getting my divorce moving forward an...d producing positive results. I switched to Rick when my case had stagnated with my previous attorney and the process was dragging on consuming time and money while I was left feeling helpless. Rick took my case and worked with opposing counsel to get the case moving forward. He knew what to say, when to say it, and just made the process look natural. Rick treats everyone with respect, he listened to my concerns, and he was able to put a voice to my concerns. The divorce process is filled with uncertainty and stress. Rick did a very good job of reducing the stress and uncertainty. I would highly recommend Rick for anyone going through a divorce.

Very Messy Divorce Cleaned Up by Mr. Hart

Richard has exceeded my expectations in getting resolution to a post-dissolution settlement. I'm leaving the details of this case out until after all my post-divorce assets have been liquidated. Richard Hart is spectacular. He is extremely knowledgeable about applying the right case law and very... resourceful about honing in on the proper points in legal arguments. He is also calm and collected and continued to inspire confidence in what seemed like a doomed divorce case. He is also great at taking feedback and works incredibly well with proactive clients. I called more than 4 other law firms around Seattle, Auburn and Bellevue and Richard really was the best. I recommend anyone with a divorce situation at least consult him for a second opinion -- this is what happened with me and I ended up choosing him.

highly recommended

Rick took our case at the 11th hour - he only had 3 weeks or so to prepare for a very complicated and contentious custody case that went back many years. We had a long history of being in and out of court over this issue without being well-represented. This changed when Rick took the helm. He t...ook the time and care to really understand our case and most importantly - to understand us - and what we wanted to fight for. We felt well-prepared once we went to court and were confident that he was, too. Rick is incredibly intuitive and a good listener. That makes him a knock-out trial attorney. Not only was he able to tell our story - he was able to find holes in the opposing side's story, think quickly on his feet, and communicate effectively with opposing counsel and the judge. Best of all, of course, he won our case for us, and surpassed what we'd hoped for. He was always the consummate professional in and out of court. He not only garnered respect from us, but the Judge who saw the case went out of his way to compliment both Rick's professionalism and his handling of the case. The biggest compliment I can give Mr. Hart is how he treated us throughout the entire process. He treated us like equals and made us feel cared for. He referred to us as a "team" and that's the way he approached our case.

Best Divorce Ever!

Mr. Hart is simply amazing! I was facing a difficult situation with my divorce; I had tried to do it on my own and be fair to my ex. She hired an attorney who tried to clean me out financially and take my kid. Mr. Hart kept all that from happening. With him on my side, it was absolutely the best ...legal experience I've ever had.
