About

I am most proud of helping those who need help enforcing their rights in family law or litigation matters. Some of my clients have been with me for several years and have had me represent them on multiple matters.  I appreciate their trust. Some noteworthy cases in which I have been involved include:- Complex, multi-million dollar divorce cases against some of the better-known divorce attorneys in the Bay Area.  - A delicate negotiation involving a high profile professional athlete in a federal case in which my client -- the other party, his business manager -- was very pleased with the outcome.   - Negotiation of a settlement with the California State Athletic Commission that protected a six-figure payout for my client -- without him losing a penny. - Successfully opposed an appeal before the appellate court of a decision in my client's favor at the lower level concerning a multi-million dollar trust.  My client was thrilled that we protected the trial court decision we earned in our favor over multiple parties. - Winning a several day restraining order trial on behalf of a battered woman against a well funded and highly positioned Silicon Valley executive.  Good legal research, preparation and argument can level an uneven playing field.  In the same case, I succeeded in obtaining a contempt ruling against the batterer following a second trial for failing to fully comply with the Court order. - Winning a trial that enabled my single mother client to move out of Santa Clara County with the couple's baby despite the other side being better funded. In litigation, I've defended other attorneys from legal malpractice claims.  I've further won a multi-day breach of contract trial that enabled my client to obtain a lien against his ex-wife post-divorce. I hope you contact us at (866) 788-5974 and let's discuss how we can address your needs.

Have worked with Dywer since 2004 on four cases that have been settled and one current. Type of cases varied and we were able to use one attorney for all because of his expertise.

I tried about 20 lawyers for my contract breach case, as well as my contract drafting needs. The thing about choosing a lawyer, which I hate, is I always feel like I am wasting their time, and that they will charge me an enormous fee to do something really simple for them. Richard had performed a highly detailed legal analysis of my case, even bringing in a colleague to look at it....without charging me a single penny. He called and spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining everything...and this was all from an email I sent him. He didn't charge me a dime. Later I asked him to draft my contract, and he plainly told me it would only take an hour. He gives you the out-the-door costs right away and does not try to charge you extra. He is also much more informed than a number of attorney's and he VICIOUSLY protects your best interests. This guy will not let anyone trample on you. Once you work with him, you are completely protected.

Mr. Dwyer's web site has extremely important information, free of charge, before any consultation. That information helped me to know what to steps I had to take in order to protect myself and my spouse. Divorce is a life changing, upsetting, and uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. His information helped relieve my fears and gave me the knowledge of where to start, when I felt alone and confused. I will be forever grateful to him!!

Divorce is an ugly, tedious, and inherently contentious process. It brings out the worst in people. The same can be said of the entire divorce industry: most of the actors,(i.e. opposing lawyers, judges, mediators, ect.), are parasitic and seem to thrive on dealing with human misery; to them you are just a faceless number, and a transaction. That is why it is so important you find a good counselor of impeccable character to fiercely defend your interests. Richard Dwyer is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you. First, he is someone of integrity, who possesses empathy. He treats you like a human being during a challenging time in your life. Second, he is a skilled strategist and negotiator. Not being a lawyer, the family law process for divorce and custody can be daunting; Richard distills an esoteric process in a way that is accessible, and helps you navigate the journey in a logical manner that is always focused on achieving your agreed upon objectives. He is results oriented. Finally, when it comes to finalizing a settlement,(for custody or property), he is a tenacious defender of your rights and interests. When your opposition attempts to pull aggressive legal maneuvers, or re-trade deals in bad faith, Richard disarms the conflict by being knowledgable, and forceful, thereby forging agreements where others may have squandered opportunities. I hope to never have to go through a divorce process,(or litigation of any sorts), ever again. But if faced with such adversity, I would find strength in the knowledge that Richard Dwyer would be there fighting for my best interests.

I met with Richard for a consultation and I must say I was very impressed. He is extremely intelligent (Stanford Law Grad) and is incredibly friendly and compassionate. We came in seeking legal advice and Richard provided us with many different strategies. I have been around many family law attorneys and Richard is top-notch. His intellect and problem solving impressed me, as well as his friendliness and compassion. If you're looking for a divorce attorney I believe Richard would be a great choice.

I was totally clueless on what to do and how to do it . Mr Dwyer made my divorce much better than I had imagined. He advised me of All my options and explained why things were in my best interest. Very open to listen to me and my concerns, remembered important details. Any questions I had he answered at anytime. He valued my time as well.

Richard E. A. Dwyer represented me in my divorce case, which is a domestic violence case. Not only did I lose everything and was left homeless while being represented by him, but after filing for divorce more than 10yrs ago (Jun 23, 2011) I’m still married to my abuser today. I lost my home, all my furniture, my vehicles, my business, all my assets, my personal belongings, my family heirlooms given to me by my mother who has passed away, all my Childrens’ awards, thousands of photos and videos, and so much more that can never be replaced… EVERYTHING! After he repeatedly convinced me to “hang in there”, he dragged my case out for more than a decade, and then withdrew from the case. Let me warn you, he talks real good and doesn’t follow through on anything! It was as though he was working for my abuser undercover. He does not operate within the guidelines of the California Family Law. God help you if you hire this man!

I was totally clueless on what to do and how to do it . Mr Dwyer made my divorce much better than I had imagined. He advised me of All my options and explained why things were in my best interest. Very open to listen to me and my concerns, remembered important details. Any questions I had he answered at anytime. He valued my time as well.

Richard E. A. Dwyer represented me in my divorce case, which is a domestic violence case. Not only did I lose everything and was left homeless while being represented by him, but after filing for divorce more than 10yrs ago (Jun 23, 2011) I’m still married to my abuser today. I lost my home, all my furniture, my vehicles, my business, all my assets, my personal belongings, my family heirlooms given to me by my mother who has passed away, all my Childrens’ awards, thousands of photos and videos, and so much more that can never be replaced… EVERYTHING! After he repeatedly convinced me to “hang in there”, he dragged my case out for more than a decade, and then withdrew from the case. Let me warn you, he talks real good and doesn’t follow through on anything! It was as though he was working for my abuser undercover. He does not operate within the guidelines of the California Family Law. God help you if you hire this man!

Have worked with Dywer since 2004 on four cases that have been settled and one current. Type of cases varied and we were able to use one attorney for all because of his expertise.

I tried about 20 lawyers for my contract breach case, as well as my contract drafting needs. The thing about choosing a lawyer, which I hate, is I always feel like I am wasting their time, and that they will charge me an enormous fee to do something really simple for them. Richard had performed a highly detailed legal analysis of my case, even bringing in a colleague to look at it....without charging me a single penny. He called and spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining everything...and this was all from an email I sent him. He didn't charge me a dime. Later I asked him to draft my contract, and he plainly told me it would only take an hour. He gives you the out-the-door costs right away and does not try to charge you extra. He is also much more informed than a number of attorney's and he VICIOUSLY protects your best interests. This guy will not let anyone trample on you. Once you work with him, you are completely protected.

Mr. Dwyer's web site has extremely important information, free of charge, before any consultation. That information helped me to know what to steps I had to take in order to protect myself and my spouse. Divorce is a life changing, upsetting, and uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. His information helped relieve my fears and gave me the knowledge of where to start, when I felt alone and confused. I will be forever grateful to him!!

Divorce is an ugly, tedious, and inherently contentious process. It brings out the worst in people. The same can be said of the entire divorce industry: most of the actors,(i.e. opposing lawyers, judges, mediators, ect.), are parasitic and seem to thrive on dealing with human misery; to them you are just a faceless number, and a transaction. That is why it is so important you find a good counselor of impeccable character to fiercely defend your interests. Richard Dwyer is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you. First, he is someone of integrity, who possesses empathy. He treats you like a human being during a challenging time in your life. Second, he is a skilled strategist and negotiator. Not being a lawyer, the family law process for divorce and custody can be daunting; Richard distills an esoteric process in a way that is accessible, and helps you navigate the journey in a logical manner that is always focused on achieving your agreed upon objectives. He is results oriented. Finally, when it comes to finalizing a settlement,(for custody or property), he is a tenacious defender of your rights and interests. When your opposition attempts to pull aggressive legal maneuvers, or re-trade deals in bad faith, Richard disarms the conflict by being knowledgable, and forceful, thereby forging agreements where others may have squandered opportunities. I hope to never have to go through a divorce process,(or litigation of any sorts), ever again. But if faced with such adversity, I would find strength in the knowledge that Richard Dwyer would be there fighting for my best interests.

I met with Richard for a consultation and I must say I was very impressed. He is extremely intelligent (Stanford Law Grad) and is incredibly friendly and compassionate. We came in seeking legal advice and Richard provided us with many different strategies. I have been around many family law attorneys and Richard is top-notch. His intellect and problem solving impressed me, as well as his friendliness and compassion. If you're looking for a divorce attorney I believe Richard would be a great choice.

After he repeatedly convinced me to “hang in there”, he dragged my case out for more than a decade, and then withdrew from the case. Let me warn you, he talks real good and doesn’t follow through on anything! It was as though he was working for my abuser undercover. He does not operate within the guidelines of the California Family Law. God help you if you hire this man!

Have worked with Dywer since 2004 on four cases that have been settled and one current. Type of cases varied and we were able to use one attorney for all because of his expertise.

I tried about 20 lawyers for my contract breach case, as well as my contract drafting needs. The thing about choosing a lawyer, which I hate, is I always feel like I am wasting their time, and that they will charge me an enormous fee to do something really simple for them. Richard had performed a highly detailed legal analysis of my case, even bringing in a colleague to look at it....without charging me a single penny. He called and spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining everything...and this was all from an email I sent him. He didn't charge me a dime. Later I asked him to draft my contract, and he plainly told me it would only take an hour. He gives you the out-the-door costs right away and does not try to charge you extra. He is also much more informed than a number of attorney's and he VICIOUSLY protects your best interests. This guy will not let anyone trample on you. Once you work with him, you are completely protected.

Mr. Dwyer's web site has extremely important information, free of charge, before any consultation. That information helped me to know what to steps I had to take in order to protect myself and my spouse. Divorce is a life changing, upsetting, and uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. His information helped relieve my fears and gave me the knowledge of where to start, when I felt alone and confused. I will be forever grateful to him!!

Divorce is an ugly, tedious, and inherently contentious process. It brings out the worst in people. The same can be said of the entire divorce industry: most of the actors,(i.e. opposing lawyers, judges, mediators, ect.), are parasitic and seem to thrive on dealing with human misery; to them you are just a faceless number, and a transaction. That is why it is so important you find a good counselor of impeccable character to fiercely defend your interests. Richard Dwyer is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you. First, he is someone of integrity, who possesses empathy. He treats you like a human being during a challenging time in your life. Second, he is a skilled strategist and negotiator. Not being a lawyer, the family law process for divorce and custody can be daunting; Richard distills an esoteric process in a way that is accessible, and helps you navigate the journey in a logical manner that is always focused on achieving your agreed upon objectives. He is results oriented. Finally, when it comes to finalizing a settlement,(for custody or property), he is a tenacious defender of your rights and interests. When your opposition attempts to pull aggressive legal maneuvers, or re-trade deals in bad faith, Richard disarms the conflict by being knowledgable, and forceful, thereby forging agreements where others may have squandered opportunities. I hope to never have to go through a divorce process,(or litigation of any sorts), ever again. But if faced with such adversity, I would find strength in the knowledge that Richard Dwyer would be there fighting for my best interests.

I met with Richard for a consultation and I must say I was very impressed. He is extremely intelligent (Stanford Law Grad) and is incredibly friendly and compassionate. We came in seeking legal advice and Richard provided us with many different strategies. I have been around many family law attorneys and Richard is top-notch. His intellect and problem solving impressed me, as well as his friendliness and compassion. If you're looking for a divorce attorney I believe Richard would be a great choice.

I was totally clueless on what to do and how to do it . Mr Dwyer made my divorce much better than I had imagined. He advised me of All my options and explained why things were in my best interest. Very open to listen to me and my concerns, remembered important details. Any questions I had he answered at anytime. He valued my time as well.

Have worked with Dywer since 2004 on four cases that have been settled and one current. Type of cases varied and we were able to use one attorney for all because of his expertise.

I tried about 20 lawyers for my contract breach case, as well as my contract drafting needs. The thing about choosing a lawyer, which I hate, is I always feel like I am wasting their time, and that they will charge me an enormous fee to do something really simple for them. Richard had performed a highly detailed legal analysis of my case, even bringing in a colleague to look at it....without charging me a single penny. He called and spent a half hour on the phone with me explaining everything...and this was all from an email I sent him. He didn't charge me a dime. Later I asked him to draft my contract, and he plainly told me it would only take an hour. He gives you the out-the-door costs right away and does not try to charge you extra. He is also much more informed than a number of attorney's and he VICIOUSLY protects your best interests. This guy will not let anyone trample on you. Once you work with him, you are completely protected.

Mr. Dwyer's web site has extremely important information, free of charge, before any consultation. That information helped me to know what to steps I had to take in order to protect myself and my spouse. Divorce is a life changing, upsetting, and uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. His information helped relieve my fears and gave me the knowledge of where to start, when I felt alone and confused. I will be forever grateful to him!!

Divorce is an ugly, tedious, and inherently contentious process. It brings out the worst in people. The same can be said of the entire divorce industry: most of the actors,(i.e. opposing lawyers, judges, mediators, ect.), are parasitic and seem to thrive on dealing with human misery; to them you are just a faceless number, and a transaction. That is why it is so important you find a good counselor of impeccable character to fiercely defend your interests. Richard Dwyer is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you. First, he is someone of integrity, who possesses empathy. He treats you like a human being during a challenging time in your life. Second, he is a skilled strategist and negotiator. Not being a lawyer, the family law process for divorce and custody can be daunting; Richard distills an esoteric process in a way that is accessible, and helps you navigate the journey in a logical manner that is always focused on achieving your agreed upon objectives. He is results oriented. Finally, when it comes to finalizing a settlement,(for custody or property), he is a tenacious defender of your rights and interests. When your opposition attempts to pull aggressive legal maneuvers, or re-trade deals in bad faith, Richard disarms the conflict by being knowledgable, and forceful, thereby forging agreements where others may have squandered opportunities. I hope to never have to go through a divorce process,(or litigation of any sorts), ever again. But if faced with such adversity, I would find strength in the knowledge that Richard Dwyer would be there fighting for my best interests.

Very happy with Mr. Dwyer's services, and I will look to him again for future needs. He was always responsive, patient, answered my questions, and very helpful.

I met with Richard for a consultation and I must say I was very impressed. He is extremely intelligent (Stanford Law Grad) and is incredibly friendly and compassionate. We came in seeking legal advice and Richard provided us with many different strategies. I have been around many family law attorneys and Richard is top-notch. His intellect and problem solving impressed me, as well as his friendliness and compassion. If you're looking for a divorce attorney I believe Richard would be a great choice.

I was totally clueless on what to do and how to do it . Mr Dwyer made my divorce much better than I had imagined. He advised me of All my options and explained why things were in my best interest. Very open to listen to me and my concerns, remembered important details. Any questions I had he answered at anytime. He valued my time as well.

Richard E. A. Dwyer represented me in my divorce case, which is a domestic violence case. Not only did I lose everything and was left homeless while being represented by him, but after filing for divorce more than 10yrs ago (Jun 23, 2011) I’m still married to my abuser today. I lost my home, all my furniture, my vehicles, my business, all my assets, my personal belongings, my family heirlooms given to me by my mother who has passed away, all my Childrens’ awards, thousands of photos and videos, and so much more that can never be replaced… EVERYTHING! After he repeatedly convinced me to “hang in there”, he dragged my case out for more than a decade, and then withdrew from the case. Let me warn you, he talks real good and doesn’t follow through on anything! It was as though he was working for my abuser undercover. He does not operate within the guidelines of the California Family Law. God help you if you hire this man!
