Mr. Garriott is a polite and well polished attorney. In consulting with him I quickly noted his calm and professional demeanor. He is well connected within the legal community and is respected by his peers and judges. Throughout the process of litigation (including multiple court appearances) Mr. Garriott executed a successful plan. He has a simple yet no non-sense approach and bolsters his case with the facts. This helped not only me but the other attorneys and judges to understand as well. Which helps the opposition and the judge to see his point of view and that aids in its concurrence. His ability to remain calm and focused greatly enhances his ability to explain and present his case. He has a tenacious, uncompromising and unwavering commitment to his clients and their best interests. Has the education, experience and personality to secure such. Litigation can be very a emotionally, financially and physically exhausting process. Through his experience, confidence, competence and excellent communication skills Mr. Garriott is able to shield his clients from some of this and make the processes a little easier for those he represents. I strongly recommend Mr. Garriott to all.

Rich's professionalism, expertise, and experience saw me thru a very difficult divorce. He immediately understood the challenges I was facing and worked tirelessly to see me thru it. If you need a great family lawyer, look no further. Richard Garriott is the best there is.

Richard represented me in a child support case. He recognized immediately that a court filing by my former spouse for more money should be dismissed with prejudice. He filed a motion to dismiss, argued for dismissal at a short hearing, and the judge dismissed the case. Clear-thinking, energetic, and courteous, I recommend Richard highly.

On the recommendation of one of his colleagues, I reached out to Rich for help in my divorce and child custody battle. My wife had been planning the divorce for several months, and was way ahead, catching me flat-footed in a state we had just moved to. Child custody disputes are a difficult situation for anyone involved. Being a loving father, the system is often stacked against us for the fair and equitable time sharing of children. Rich immediately stabilized the situation and prevented my ex-wife from moving my child out of state against my will. Rich quickly responded to every question I had, no matter how mundane, and his vast family law experience put him several steps ahead throughout the process. I can't thank him enough for his contributions during my divorce and eventual custody settlement. I would highly recommend Rich to any father in a similar situation. He was a true difference maker.

Richard and his team were able to take a very volatile and complex situation that required great compassion, knowledge and negotiation skill to come up with a solution. This became a settlement that was fair for all parties and I am thankful for his efforts.

From the first consult I knew Mr. Garriott was different and I hired him immediately. I was looking for a new attorney after not having a good experience with my first one and could tell this was going to be better right away. He’s friendly, compassionate and sympathetic during challenging times in your life. I’ve worked with Richard for a few years now and have appreciated all his help. He is quick with responses and listens to his clients needs. In what can be a chaotic and emotionally draining situation, he created a safe space for me to feel like we would get things done, while keeping realistic expectations of the process throughout. Highly recommend Richard!

I hired Mr. Garriott to represent me in a very difficult contentious divorce and child custody case over three years ago. He and his staff were extremely supportive and have a three for three record - three court trials and three extremely successful outcomes. Children's expenses, changing visitation schedules, custody issues, difficult opposing attorneys and the multiple appeals - he and his staff have and will continue to receive my highest recommendation. Passionate and knowledgeable about the law and doing what is right -I would recommend him without hesitation for the most complicated cases. Words can not express the gratitude for all that he has done for my family and our new normal. If you need a divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake or Suffolk - you need to hire this attorney!

Richard and his associate Naveed worked closely with my husband and I for almost two years. We had quite the family case with every variable and screwball thrown our way. But Richard never backed down, no matter how complicated or drawn out it became. Ultimately he helped guide us through the hardest thing we’ve ever been through. He maintained his professionalism and helped me maintain control (even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but for my own good legally) he and Naveed both did a fabulous job not only protecting me but my child in the courtroom. What we managed to accomplish in court and with finalizing our child’s step parent adoption is something my family will be forever grateful for. We rest a little easier now knowing our family is “complete” in the eyes of the law. And we really have Richard to thank for that!

Just as most baseball games are either won or lost before the players ever take the field, the same is true for our case. I say "our" because my case became just as important to Mr. Garriott as it was to me. Mr. Garriott's preparation for my case ensured a victory before we ever stepped into the courtroom. I wish I could find the words that would accurately reflect the awesomeness of his supporting staff. Mr. Garriott assigned a paralegal and two other supporting attorneys to assist in the preparation of my case. This aided in keeping my costs as low as possible and allowed for tons of knowledge and experience to be interjected into working my case. My case was a motion to modify custody and was a data giant. For the previous three years I had been diligently documenting every possible detail and gathering every shred of supporting evidence of my ex's attempts to alienate me from my children's lives. My case was further complicated by the geographical separation as I live several states away. I met with Mr. Garriott over the phone for our initial conversation before hiring him to represent me. Immediately after our meeting he went to work on my case. He and his team remained in close contact and kept me posted every step of the way. The day before our hearing Mr. Garriott laid out his game plan and described each possible outcome for the hearing. He defined what his grandslam would look like and I can assure you that Mr. Garriott hit his grandslam that next afternoon. I went from only seeing my children a couple times a year to having sole custody of them. The total cost was a little steep, but when you are fighting for your kids no cost is too high.

I retained Mr. Garriott for a difficult custody/visitation case. He & his staff stayed in touch with me while the case was pending, responded promptly when I had questions & concerns, kept my fees & costs to a minimum, & negotiated a thoroughly satisfactory settlement. Plus, he's a really nice guy!

I can't thank him enough for his contributions during my divorce and eventual custody settlement. I would highly recommend Rich to any father in a similar situation. He was a true difference maker.

Richard and his team were able to take a very volatile and complex situation that required great compassion, knowledge and negotiation skill to come up with a solution. This became a settlement that was fair for all parties and I am thankful for his efforts.

From the first consult I knew Mr. Garriott was different and I hired him immediately. I was looking for a new attorney after not having a good experience with my first one and could tell this was going to be better right away. He’s friendly, compassionate and sympathetic during challenging times in your life. I’ve worked with Richard for a few years now and have appreciated all his help. He is quick with responses and listens to his clients needs. In what can be a chaotic and emotionally draining situation, he created a safe space for me to feel like we would get things done, while keeping realistic expectations of the process throughout. Highly recommend Richard!

I hired Mr. Garriott to represent me in a very difficult contentious divorce and child custody case over three years ago. He and his staff were extremely supportive and have a three for three record - three court trials and three extremely successful outcomes. Children's expenses, changing visitation schedules, custody issues, difficult opposing attorneys and the multiple appeals - he and his staff have and will continue to receive my highest recommendation. Passionate and knowledgeable about the law and doing what is right -I would recommend him without hesitation for the most complicated cases. Words can not express the gratitude for all that he has done for my family and our new normal. If you need a divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake or Suffolk - you need to hire this attorney!

Richard and his associate Naveed worked closely with my husband and I for almost two years. We had quite the family case with every variable and screwball thrown our way. But Richard never backed down, no matter how complicated or drawn out it became. Ultimately he helped guide us through the hardest thing we’ve ever been through. He maintained his professionalism and helped me maintain control (even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but for my own good legally) he and Naveed both did a fabulous job not only protecting me but my child in the courtroom. What we managed to accomplish in court and with finalizing our child’s step parent adoption is something my family will be forever grateful for. We rest a little easier now knowing our family is “complete” in the eyes of the law. And we really have Richard to thank for that!

Just as most baseball games are either won or lost before the players ever take the field, the same is true for our case. I say "our" because my case became just as important to Mr. Garriott as it was to me. Mr. Garriott's preparation for my case ensured a victory before we ever stepped into the courtroom. I wish I could find the words that would accurately reflect the awesomeness of his supporting staff. Mr. Garriott assigned a paralegal and two other supporting attorneys to assist in the preparation of my case. This aided in keeping my costs as low as possible and allowed for tons of knowledge and experience to be interjected into working my case. My case was a motion to modify custody and was a data giant. For the previous three years I had been diligently documenting every possible detail and gathering every shred of supporting evidence of my ex's attempts to alienate me from my children's lives. My case was further complicated by the geographical separation as I live several states away. I met with Mr. Garriott over the phone for our initial conversation before hiring him to represent me. Immediately after our meeting he went to work on my case. He and his team remained in close contact and kept me posted every step of the way. The day before our hearing Mr. Garriott laid out his game plan and described each possible outcome for the hearing. He defined what his grandslam would look like and I can assure you that Mr. Garriott hit his grandslam that next afternoon. I went from only seeing my children a couple times a year to having sole custody of them. The total cost was a little steep, but when you are fighting for your kids no cost is too high.

I retained Mr. Garriott for a difficult custody/visitation case. He & his staff stayed in touch with me while the case was pending, responded promptly when I had questions & concerns, kept my fees & costs to a minimum, & negotiated a thoroughly satisfactory settlement. Plus, he's a really nice guy!

Mr. Garriott is a polite and well polished attorney. In consulting with him I quickly noted his calm and professional demeanor. He is well connected within the legal community and is respected by his peers and judges. Throughout the process of litigation (including multiple court appearances) Mr. Garriott executed a successful plan. He has a simple yet no non-sense approach and bolsters his case with the facts. This helped not only me but the other attorneys and judges to understand as well. Which helps the opposition and the judge to see his point of view and that aids in its concurrence. His ability to remain calm and focused greatly enhances his ability to explain and present his case. He has a tenacious, uncompromising and unwavering commitment to his clients and their best interests. Has the education, experience and personality to secure such. Litigation can be very a emotionally, financially and physically exhausting process. Through his experience, confidence, competence and excellent communication skills Mr. Garriott is able to shield his clients from some of this and make the processes a little easier for those he represents. I strongly recommend Mr. Garriott to all.

Rich's professionalism, expertise, and experience saw me thru a very difficult divorce. He immediately understood the challenges I was facing and worked tirelessly to see me thru it. If you need a great family lawyer, look no further. Richard Garriott is the best there is.

Richard represented me in a child support case. He recognized immediately that a court filing by my former spouse for more money should be dismissed with prejudice. He filed a motion to dismiss, argued for dismissal at a short hearing, and the judge dismissed the case. Clear-thinking, energetic, and courteous, I recommend Richard highly.

On the recommendation of one of his colleagues, I reached out to Rich for help in my divorce and child custody battle. My wife had been planning the divorce for several months, and was way ahead, catching me flat-footed in a state we had just moved to. Child custody disputes are a difficult situation for anyone involved. Being a loving father, the system is often stacked against us for the fair and equitable time sharing of children. Rich immediately stabilized the situation and prevented my ex-wife from moving my child out of state against my will. Rich quickly responded to every question I had, no matter how mundane, and his vast family law experience put him several steps ahead throughout the process.

He maintained his professionalism and helped me maintain control (even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but for my own good legally) he and Naveed both did a fabulous job not only protecting me but my child in the courtroom. What we managed to accomplish in court and with finalizing our child’s step parent adoption is something my family will be forever grateful for. We rest a little easier now knowing our family is “complete” in the eyes of the law. And we really have Richard to thank for that!

Just as most baseball games are either won or lost before the players ever take the field, the same is true for our case. I say "our" because my case became just as important to Mr. Garriott as it was to me. Mr. Garriott's preparation for my case ensured a victory before we ever stepped into the courtroom. I wish I could find the words that would accurately reflect the awesomeness of his supporting staff. Mr. Garriott assigned a paralegal and two other supporting attorneys to assist in the preparation of my case. This aided in keeping my costs as low as possible and allowed for tons of knowledge and experience to be interjected into working my case. My case was a motion to modify custody and was a data giant. For the previous three years I had been diligently documenting every possible detail and gathering every shred of supporting evidence of my ex's attempts to alienate me from my children's lives. My case was further complicated by the geographical separation as I live several states away. I met with Mr. Garriott over the phone for our initial conversation before hiring him to represent me. Immediately after our meeting he went to work on my case. He and his team remained in close contact and kept me posted every step of the way. The day before our hearing Mr. Garriott laid out his game plan and described each possible outcome for the hearing. He defined what his grandslam would look like and I can assure you that Mr. Garriott hit his grandslam that next afternoon. I went from only seeing my children a couple times a year to having sole custody of them. The total cost was a little steep, but when you are fighting for your kids no cost is too high.

I retained Mr. Garriott for a difficult custody/visitation case. He & his staff stayed in touch with me while the case was pending, responded promptly when I had questions & concerns, kept my fees & costs to a minimum, & negotiated a thoroughly satisfactory settlement. Plus, he's a really nice guy!

Mr. Garriott is a polite and well polished attorney. In consulting with him I quickly noted his calm and professional demeanor. He is well connected within the legal community and is respected by his peers and judges. Throughout the process of litigation (including multiple court appearances) Mr. Garriott executed a successful plan. He has a simple yet no non-sense approach and bolsters his case with the facts. This helped not only me but the other attorneys and judges to understand as well. Which helps the opposition and the judge to see his point of view and that aids in its concurrence. His ability to remain calm and focused greatly enhances his ability to explain and present his case. He has a tenacious, uncompromising and unwavering commitment to his clients and their best interests. Has the education, experience and personality to secure such. Litigation can be very a emotionally, financially and physically exhausting process. Through his experience, confidence, competence and excellent communication skills Mr. Garriott is able to shield his clients from some of this and make the processes a little easier for those he represents. I strongly recommend Mr. Garriott to all.

Rich's professionalism, expertise, and experience saw me thru a very difficult divorce. He immediately understood the challenges I was facing and worked tirelessly to see me thru it. If you need a great family lawyer, look no further. Richard Garriott is the best there is.

Richard represented me in a child support case. He recognized immediately that a court filing by my former spouse for more money should be dismissed with prejudice. He filed a motion to dismiss, argued for dismissal at a short hearing, and the judge dismissed the case. Clear-thinking, energetic, and courteous, I recommend Richard highly.

On the recommendation of one of his colleagues, I reached out to Rich for help in my divorce and child custody battle. My wife had been planning the divorce for several months, and was way ahead, catching me flat-footed in a state we had just moved to. Child custody disputes are a difficult situation for anyone involved. Being a loving father, the system is often stacked against us for the fair and equitable time sharing of children. Rich immediately stabilized the situation and prevented my ex-wife from moving my child out of state against my will. Rich quickly responded to every question I had, no matter how mundane, and his vast family law experience put him several steps ahead throughout the process. I can't thank him enough for his contributions during my divorce and eventual custody settlement. I would highly recommend Rich to any father in a similar situation. He was a true difference maker.

Richard and his team were able to take a very volatile and complex situation that required great compassion, knowledge and negotiation skill to come up with a solution. This became a settlement that was fair for all parties and I am thankful for his efforts.

From the first consult I knew Mr. Garriott was different and I hired him immediately. I was looking for a new attorney after not having a good experience with my first one and could tell this was going to be better right away. He’s friendly, compassionate and sympathetic during challenging times in your life. I’ve worked with Richard for a few years now and have appreciated all his help. He is quick with responses and listens to his clients needs. In what can be a chaotic and emotionally draining situation, he created a safe space for me to feel like we would get things done, while keeping realistic expectations of the process throughout. Highly recommend Richard!

I hired Mr. Garriott to represent me in a very difficult contentious divorce and child custody case over three years ago. He and his staff were extremely supportive and have a three for three record - three court trials and three extremely successful outcomes. Children's expenses, changing visitation schedules, custody issues, difficult opposing attorneys and the multiple appeals - he and his staff have and will continue to receive my highest recommendation. Passionate and knowledgeable about the law and doing what is right -I would recommend him without hesitation for the most complicated cases. Words can not express the gratitude for all that he has done for my family and our new normal. If you need a divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake or Suffolk - you need to hire this attorney!

I went from only seeing my children a couple times a year to having sole custody of them. The total cost was a little steep, but when you are fighting for your kids no cost is too high.

I retained Mr. Garriott for a difficult custody/visitation case. He & his staff stayed in touch with me while the case was pending, responded promptly when I had questions & concerns, kept my fees & costs to a minimum, & negotiated a thoroughly satisfactory settlement. Plus, he's a really nice guy!

Mr. Garriott is a polite and well polished attorney. In consulting with him I quickly noted his calm and professional demeanor. He is well connected within the legal community and is respected by his peers and judges. Throughout the process of litigation (including multiple court appearances) Mr. Garriott executed a successful plan. He has a simple yet no non-sense approach and bolsters his case with the facts. This helped not only me but the other attorneys and judges to understand as well. Which helps the opposition and the judge to see his point of view and that aids in its concurrence. His ability to remain calm and focused greatly enhances his ability to explain and present his case. He has a tenacious, uncompromising and unwavering commitment to his clients and their best interests. Has the education, experience and personality to secure such. Litigation can be very a emotionally, financially and physically exhausting process. Through his experience, confidence, competence and excellent communication skills Mr. Garriott is able to shield his clients from some of this and make the processes a little easier for those he represents. I strongly recommend Mr. Garriott to all.

Rich's professionalism, expertise, and experience saw me thru a very difficult divorce. He immediately understood the challenges I was facing and worked tirelessly to see me thru it. If you need a great family lawyer, look no further. Richard Garriott is the best there is.

Richard represented me in a child support case. He recognized immediately that a court filing by my former spouse for more money should be dismissed with prejudice. He filed a motion to dismiss, argued for dismissal at a short hearing, and the judge dismissed the case. Clear-thinking, energetic, and courteous, I recommend Richard highly.

On the recommendation of one of his colleagues, I reached out to Rich for help in my divorce and child custody battle. My wife had been planning the divorce for several months, and was way ahead, catching me flat-footed in a state we had just moved to. Child custody disputes are a difficult situation for anyone involved. Being a loving father, the system is often stacked against us for the fair and equitable time sharing of children. Rich immediately stabilized the situation and prevented my ex-wife from moving my child out of state against my will. Rich quickly responded to every question I had, no matter how mundane, and his vast family law experience put him several steps ahead throughout the process. I can't thank him enough for his contributions during my divorce and eventual custody settlement. I would highly recommend Rich to any father in a similar situation. He was a true difference maker.

Richard and his team were able to take a very volatile and complex situation that required great compassion, knowledge and negotiation skill to come up with a solution. This became a settlement that was fair for all parties and I am thankful for his efforts.

From the first consult I knew Mr. Garriott was different and I hired him immediately. I was looking for a new attorney after not having a good experience with my first one and could tell this was going to be better right away. He’s friendly, compassionate and sympathetic during challenging times in your life. I’ve worked with Richard for a few years now and have appreciated all his help. He is quick with responses and listens to his clients needs. In what can be a chaotic and emotionally draining situation, he created a safe space for me to feel like we would get things done, while keeping realistic expectations of the process throughout. Highly recommend Richard!

I hired Mr. Garriott to represent me in a very difficult contentious divorce and child custody case over three years ago. He and his staff were extremely supportive and have a three for three record - three court trials and three extremely successful outcomes. Children's expenses, changing visitation schedules, custody issues, difficult opposing attorneys and the multiple appeals - he and his staff have and will continue to receive my highest recommendation. Passionate and knowledgeable about the law and doing what is right -I would recommend him without hesitation for the most complicated cases. Words can not express the gratitude for all that he has done for my family and our new normal. If you need a divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake or Suffolk - you need to hire this attorney!

Richard and his associate Naveed worked closely with my husband and I for almost two years. We had quite the family case with every variable and screwball thrown our way. But Richard never backed down, no matter how complicated or drawn out it became. Ultimately he helped guide us through the hardest thing we’ve ever been through. He maintained his professionalism and helped me maintain control (even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but for my own good legally) he and Naveed both did a fabulous job not only protecting me but my child in the courtroom. What we managed to accomplish in court and with finalizing our child’s step parent adoption is something my family will be forever grateful for. We rest a little easier now knowing our family is “complete” in the eyes of the law. And we really have Richard to thank for that!

Just as most baseball games are either won or lost before the players ever take the field, the same is true for our case. I say "our" because my case became just as important to Mr. Garriott as it was to me. Mr. Garriott's preparation for my case ensured a victory before we ever stepped into the courtroom. I wish I could find the words that would accurately reflect the awesomeness of his supporting staff. Mr. Garriott assigned a paralegal and two other supporting attorneys to assist in the preparation of my case. This aided in keeping my costs as low as possible and allowed for tons of knowledge and experience to be interjected into working my case. My case was a motion to modify custody and was a data giant. For the previous three years I had been diligently documenting every possible detail and gathering every shred of supporting evidence of my ex's attempts to alienate me from my children's lives. My case was further complicated by the geographical separation as I live several states away. I met with Mr. Garriott over the phone for our initial conversation before hiring him to represent me. Immediately after our meeting he went to work on my case. He and his team remained in close contact and kept me posted every step of the way.
