I would highly recommend Rich's services. He made this whole process easy and took care of my needs. He was available after my initial payment to answer any questions I had and to handle all court proceedings. He always got back to me in a timely manner. He explained everything in layman's terms and helped me get back on my feet.

Because the pandemic, my wife and I had to file to bankruptcy. Richard and his staff did an outstanding job. They gave us the right advice and at the right time. They always were there for us with prompt answers and solutions. He managed the case just perfectly and we got the discharge according with his projection. We really appreciate what he and his staff did for us and now we can have a new start free of debt. Thanks Rich.

We went to Richard on the advice of a friend as we had to make a decision on doing a bankruptcy. We met with Richard and he put us at ease right away. With his knowledge he laid out two plans for us based on what we wanted. Happy to say we were able to save our house and rebuild our credit with his guidance and advice. He was always available whenever we needed it. He office answered any questions we had and even checked in on us. He took what may have been a horrible situation and made it better.

Rich and his team truly understand the concept of good service. During my search for a lawyer, I met with a few different options, and they were all the same. The very first meeting with Rich, he explained the process through the end and was there every step of the way. Any time I would reach out, Rich was right there with a reassuring, helpful response. No hoops to jump through, no being left in the dark. Rich and his team did everything possible to make the process go smoothly, in which it did. They offered helpful advice and coaching and they were just overall an amazing team to work with. They always have the client’s best interest at heart.

He was recommended to us by another attorney, and I can't say enough about Rich. He is professional, efficient, courteous, friendly, and very easy to talk to. He has made a very difficult financial decision easier to undertake and finalize. He is always there whenever I have a question or issue. He called just to see how things are going and if we are doing OK. I definitely would recommend Rich to anyone who is going through financial hardships, and need legal advise/assistance. Without a doubt, he is his client's best advocate and supporter. He does whatever it takes for his clients to succeed and get on their best financial track.

In going through the unknown of bankruptcy, Rich was complete and thorough in the steps and proceedings of my case. Him and his team were always professional and prompt on replies. He gave me his recommendations based off my unique circumstance and ultimately made a rough situation not so bad. As this wise man likes to say “you always have options”.

It has been a pleasure working with Richard. He is a gem. I hired him for debt settlement. He is patient, knowledgeable and honest. He walked me threw all options and provided me with the right recommendation to settle my debt. I was hesitant to move forward with him but he alleviated all concerns without pressure. I highly recommend him!
