My divorce proceedings lasted over three years and Richard was my third attorney. I often wonder how much time, suffering, and money might have been saved had I been referred to Richard in the beginning. Richard was compassionate and truly fought for my children’s safety and best interests. He kept me focused and provided wisdom and information in a no-nonsense yet respectful and timely manner. He and his staff were always prepared for court dates and supportive of my needs throughout the process. The staff at his firm are knowledgeable and courteous. In a very stressful and emotionally charged circumstance Richard and his firm were a steady, knowledgeable, and hard-working team and I never doubted that he was on my side. I continue to recommend him and his firm to friends, family, and acquaintances who are in need of a trustworthy and dedicated attorney.
Mr. Rabb is an experienced professional who is pro-active and excellent at anticipating opposing counsels’ next move. Through my divorce, he was compassionate, yet direct and worked in the best interest of me and my family. I have referred others to Richard and all have been very satisfied.
I hired Richard for my custody/child support case and he did a great job! He’s always prepared and ready when we went to trial. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. I would recommend Richard for anyone looking for a reliable lawyer in their corner.
When I decided to file for divorce, my ex-husband refused to take care of our kids financially ( child support, health insurance, etc). Richard Rabb fought for the rights of my daughter and my son. I always tell people that my kids have everything thanks to God, my wonderful lawyer Richard, and a great judge!!! Richard Rabb made sure that my kids had food to eat , a roof over their heads, and a good education when their father told me "You want this divorce, so these kids are not my kids anymore, they are your kids now!" Thank you Richard Rabb for everything you have done for my kids and I.
It has been my privilege to work with Richard for the last 4 years through my divorce and ongoing post divorce litigation. Throughout this very challenging course he has been professional, accessible, timely, capable, knowledgeable, direct, helpful, friendly, experienced and successful. He also connected me to others who were able to provide quality ancillary services throughout my case. My case was unusual as my ex hired 4 different attorneys throughout the case making Richards task quite difficult. He navigated me through the divorce and post divorce litigation with expertise caution and wisdom. He listened, was compassionate to my needs and concerns while taking particular care to protect our children. He was clear in communication, did not miss a filing, deadline, conference or motion. My case has been complex and difficult, Richard has managed it well throughout. I very highly recommend Richard Rabb.
Richard Rabb was recommended to me by a highly respected acquaintance of mine in the legal community, it proved to be the most important choice I made in the divorce process! I interviewed a few others, settled on Rich and never looked back. Always felt I had a true advocate that represented me and my family's interests extremely well. While the process in Ohio makes it difficult to judge winners and losers, I feel we arrived at the best possible outcome for my interests and always was confident I had the "edge". Retain Richard Rabb and you'll be one step closer to the best possible outcome.
I was referred Richard years ago by a friend after having issues post decree with my ex. Over the last several years Richard and staff have continued to be there by my side, offering prudent well researched arguments whenever something arises. In iddition to being incredibly versed in the law, Richard and team are incredibly responsive, always responding to any and all questions or needs with a quick turnaround. I cannot say how valuable he has been and I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone going through a divorce or parenting issues to contact him.
Richard handled my divorce based on a referral from a good friend. My divorce was very contentious, and my ex-wife's attorney was making some wild accusations, and refusing to negotiate on a settlement. Richard was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. He kept me informed as needed throughout the process, without wasting my time or his by creating billable hours. My ex-wife had filed for divorce previously, but we reconciled (briefly). My previous lawyer did everything possible to create billable hours. Richard told me what I needed to know, and what to expect, and asked me for more information or input as needed. He was prepared for all the hearings and depositions, and he did a great job of protecting my family and my assets. Richard clearly knew his way around the court as well. He knew all the judges, magistrates, and staff, and was very professional (unlike opposing council). In addition, Richard's staff was great. They clearly understand how difficult divorce is on a family, and on the parties going through the process. I worked with a couple of other lawyers in his office for some aspects of the process, as agreed upon between us, and they were excellent. His Assistant and Paralegal were both very competent and organized.
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.
He is a great lawyer and does great work. He handled my divorce very well. I highly reccomend him
