Exceptional representation

Richard Weldon can be relied upon to provide excellent representation. His knowledge of the law is vast and his experience of the inner workings of the judicial system made the process of my divorce and subsequent child custody and support issues a relative breeze. I would not hesitate to recommend M...r. Weldon.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Weldon represented me in my divorce case and did a wonderful, thorough, and professional job. I was very impressed with his ability to manage all the issues and keep me informed for this very complex case, and honestly tell me what my legal options were. As a result, I was able to retain custody ...of my son, for which I'm forever grateful. Mr. Weldon truly has his client's best interests at heart and I'm sure will do his utmost for your case as he did for mine. Give him a chance, you will not be disappointed!

The Best Investment I have Made to Date

Mr. Weldon has represented me in a number of cases over the last few years. I have come to know him as a very hard working individual that dedicates his heart and soul into every case. He is honest, fair, and always looking out for the best interest of his client He is most recently representing ...me in a divorce that has turned my world upside down. His caring, compassionate, optimistic outlook, and knowledge of the law has worked miracles in my life. He is fighting for my children as if they were his own. I can not thank him enough. If you see this Mr. Weldon, Thank you!

Very Happy with Weldon

Mr Weldon has done a great job for me on more than one occasion. My first experience was a divorce case which might have ended badly but I was pleased with the outcome and how well Richard kept me informed during the lengthy process. To this day I have never added up his bills for that divorce.... I just know it was money well spent. While his specialty is family law, he has done other work for me that has not been in his normal area of expertise. I was happy with the results. He also referred me to another lawyer when I needed a specialist in another field of law. happy with that recommendation too. All in all a good guy and a great lawyer. I would recommend Mr Weldon to anyone needing help with Family law. Divorce, Child support or child support revision, Custody etc.

"Richard is an excellent attorney -- He possesses a firm knowledge of the law, combined with years of experience giving him insight into our complex, often unfair legal system. He also possesses the wisdom to successfully guide his clients thru trying times. And maybe most importantly, he has a quality often lacking in so many grim attorneys - he has a great sense of humor with an optimistic attitude giving him a valuable advantage with every judge, every jury and every other attorney. He's a lawyer's lawyer who I heartily endorse."
