Solid lawyer with some caveats

Richard knows the WA family law to the tee. He defends you strongly throughout the case. Having said that, I had some negative experiences 1. My first invoice had a double charge which I noticed and had to ask for an adjustment 2. Richard has a tendency to ramble on in phone conversation which is p...articularly concerning since he charges by the hour 3. He has some bias against South asian folks and our practice around marriage/divorce. I understand this maybe based on his experience but as a SE asian I found these hard to swallow 4. I found their spreadsheet to calculate community property a bit rigid and had to do my own calculation to be certain. My case was straightforward i.e. no kids, 1 real estate, 401k and some savings.

Couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated attorney

I can’t say enough good things about Rick Hart. He was always there for questions and if I ever needed to vent. He handled my two year long divorce with class. Rick didn’t leave any stone unturned when it came to preparing a thorough case. He was supportive and looked out for my best interest. I ...would suggest Rick Hart to anyone who needs a divorce attorney that is dedicated.

Solid Divorce Attorney

Rick and his Paralegal, Kate, were OUTSTANDING in representing me in a nasty divorce. Both were very accessible and on more than one occasion walked me back from "edge of the cliff". Rick brings a business approach to his legal proceedings.

A knowledgeable, effective, and unwavering advocate.

I came to Rick half-way through a divorce that had not been handled well by my original attorney, and was going very badly. Rick completely turned the tables and I ended up with a settlement that was significantly better than I had previously thought possible. Rick is incredibly focused. He doesn’...t waste a lot of time with small talk, but I also found him to be personable and always available when I needed him. His professional conduct, particularly with the opposing council, eased the hostility that had built up prior to me retaining him. I could not have hoped for an attorney more professional in crafting clear, cogent, and compelling legal positions, more skillful in the nuances of defusing adversarial emotions, or more unwavering in his advocacy of my interests. I was not pleased to be in a divorce, but with Rick’s direction and guidance, I believe I got the best possible outcome.

Steady hands and piece of mind

Fantastic, experienced attorney who is fair and balanced by default but, having seen him in action in a court room, I can attest to the fact that he is more than capable of going in hard and heavy when needed. This is a tough process for all involved and having someone in your corner who can guide ...you through all the jargon and paperwork, and has seen it all before, was a huge comfort. I have no hesitation recommending Rick and his team to anyone and am very grateful for all his work, and support, through my own divorce.
