Richard is a true professional when it comes down in knowing the law. I interviewed a few attorneys before picking him and it was the best choice for me. If I had any questions at reasonable hr’s he usually emailed back within 5 minutes or less. He understood my situation and made the process a bit easier.

Richard is phenomenal and extremely responsive. I contacted him with my situation, he walked me through the Chapter 7 process every step of the way. Price is very fair, especially for the high level and timeliness of the work being done. Within a week he had my case filed and it could’ve been even quicker than that had I provided everything quicker. He made the process as smooth and easy as I could ever imagine.

Richard provided incredibly clear, accurate, & professional legal service. To receive this level of service is very rare today. It is obvious that he truly cares about his clients; he went to great lengths to take care of me, and, is very responsive and available. The quality and value are extraordinary. I highly recommend him and his service. I feel very fortunate to have found him and his practice. Richard, thank you!

I initially wasn't sure if I was going to go through with a bankruptcy, but Richard answered my many questions prior, and the many more I had once I decided to file. I never felt rushed or pressured throughout the process, which was easier than expected (his website has some great info), aside from gathering all of the data/paperwork which was time consuming. He was also very quick to respond via email, which was much appreciated.

Was a very professional and competent lawyer for my needs. Was very patient throughout a very stressful process that ended up being less stressful as a result of his work.

Consulting an attorney for bankruptcy is never an easy decision; however Richard Symmes was exceptional to work with. From our initial conversation, he made me feel comfortable educating me on the bankruptcy filing process, and provided ample time to consider whether filing Chapter 7 was in fact the right decision for me. I'd highly recommend working with Richard Symmes. He is knowledgeable, patient, and efficient. Upon consulting Richard Symmes, I knew I made the right decision. He provided a detailed questionnaire prior to filing my Ch. 7 case, informed me of all of the necessary requirements to file my case in a timely fashion, and provided information to access the resources to complete my educational requirements, both pre and post filing.

Richard is a pleasure to work with who exemplifies patience, thoroughness, and great customer service. He is extremely responsive even during non-business hours and really takes the time to explain in great detail. Richard, thank you for all your support!!

As others have said, I spent many wasted months debating whether or not to file for bankruptcy, thinking it would be a very long, drawn-out, and ultimately humiliating process. I finally contacted Richard Symmes in March 2020 and started the procedure. A week after filing, the Covid-19 crisis reared its ugly head, and I feared my suit would be dismissed. Richard was an absolute professional, guiding me through all of the necessary steps, including the court date by phone. The entire process took merely three months. His rates are reasonable and he is very thorough, treating me with respect and compassion throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend him more highly.
