Where do I begin? My husband was forced to hire another attorney after already litigating with his ex-wife since 2011. Every time my husband thought he was done, his ex would drag him back with false allegations of him stealing her money. His divorce case just kept getting worse, when every Judge that was assigned their case would eventually retire. When she dragged him back to court again in late 2017 (coincidentally the week before we were to get married) he decided to retain Richard. Their case was assigned to a new Judge (number 4). Unfortunately the attorney his ex hired was as unethical as she was, and it dragged out for another 2 1/2 years. From the VERY beginning Richard did all he could to prevent it from being continued. He felt really bad for us and at every hearing made his plea to finalize the case immediately. Every delay was caused by the other side, but Richard prevailed, and UNBELIEVABLY the Judge did something almost unheard of in a long term marriage. The Judge ruled to terminate his ex’s spousal support. Richard is a good person and a good man and we can’t thank him enough. We finally have our lives back.

Professional and honest are two words that don't always go together when hiring an attorney, however Mr. Masson is an incredible attorney who came highly recommended. He's always shown the utmost professionalism in my child custody case, thus I too would too highly recommend him. You surely will not be disappointed should you choose to hire him in representing you in all family law matters.

Richard has a foundational understanding of both the family law court system, and the business world. He understood not only why it was important to proceed on certain issues, but how to present the case to the judge. Mine was a tricky situation involving a highly manipulative ex-spouse. He seemed to understand what evidence was necessary and how to concisely present the information to the judge. Very smooth in court. Truly the most exceptional family law attorney in Orange County.

I found Richard to be helpful, available and consistently honest with me throughout my divorce. Richard was upfront about what to expect during my initial consultation. He was right on about my child and spousal support, and helped me to decide when a settlement was not in my favor. He was savvy and knowledgeable when appearing before the judge -- but never backed down from my husband's attorneys. He was fantastic in court, and made the other side look like they were fumbling for answers. I highly reccommend Richard.

Richard has a foundational understanding of both the family law court system, and the business world. He understood not only why it was important to proceed on certain issues, but how to present the case to the judge. Mine was a tricky situation involving a highly manipulative ex-spouse. He seemed to understand what evidence was necessary and how to concisely present the information to the judge. Very smooth in court. Truly the most exceptional family law attorney in Orange County.

I found Richard to be helpful, available and consistently honest with me throughout my divorce. Richard was upfront about what to expect during my initial consultation. He was right on about my child and spousal support, and helped me to decide when a settlement was not in my favor. He was savvy and knowledgeable when appearing before the judge -- but never backed down from my husband's attorneys. He was fantastic in court, and made the other side look like they were fumbling for answers. I highly reccommend Richard.

Where do I begin? My husband was forced to hire another attorney after already litigating with his ex-wife since 2011. Every time my husband thought he was done, his ex would drag him back with false allegations of him stealing her money. His divorce case just kept getting worse, when every Judge that was assigned their case would eventually retire. When she dragged him back to court again in late 2017 (coincidentally the week before we were to get married) he decided to retain Richard. Their case was assigned to a new Judge (number 4). Unfortunately the attorney his ex hired was as unethical as she was, and it dragged out for another 2 1/2 years. From the VERY beginning Richard did all he could to prevent it from being continued. He felt really bad for us and at every hearing made his plea to finalize the case immediately. Every delay was caused by the other side, but Richard prevailed, and UNBELIEVABLY the Judge did something almost unheard of in a long term marriage. The Judge ruled to terminate his ex’s spousal support. Richard is a good person and a good man and we can’t thank him enough. We finally have our lives back.

Professional and honest are two words that don't always go together when hiring an attorney, however Mr. Masson is an incredible attorney who came highly recommended. He's always shown the utmost professionalism in my child custody case, thus I too would too highly recommend him. You surely will not be disappointed should you choose to hire him in representing you in all family law matters.
