Experience

Divorce & Custody Testimonial

I could not have been happier with Richard. I was in a high conflict divorce, and subsequent disputes over visitation and financial support. Richard has a sound understanding of what potential rulings a magistrate or judge may make, and gave me realistic advice. He quickly grasped the challenging nature of my ex – and was able to work with opposing counsel to minimize additional litigation. I was more than pleased with the outcome and thankful for Richard’s personal advice on how to disengage from a volatile relationship, protect my children, but also respect the needs for both sides to parent. Richard and his support team are responsive and highly skilled. – Anonymous, June 9, 2015
