Words From Our Clients
He was amazing. He was always available. He answered every question. He responded so quickly, day and night, weekends. I was so nervous through this process and he was like a rock. I couldn’t believe how easy he made it. I wish he did other types of law because I would hire him for everything.
Melody Sierra
I have been so impressed with the kindness and professionalism of Richard . Any delays in this bankruptcy process has been entirely mine, not his, and I am extremely grateful for his patience with me in answering all my questions. He has Always been polite, even when I know I probably would have been impatient if I were in his shoes. 🙂 I would highly recommend him to anyone who might need the services he provides.
Lisa A Wagner
Richard is fantastic! He was very informative and kind. He answered all our questions and was very patient. His response time is incredible too. Even if I sent an email late at night or on a weekend, I typically received a response within an hour. He made the process very easy and helped keep our stress levels low.
Ehren Martorella
Richard is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He was also incredibly responsive. I would send emails at all hours of the day and night due to my crazy work schedule and he would answer promptly every time. It's hard to get service like that these days. Going through a legal process is stressful during the best of times, but I always felt 100% confident that he would do a fantastic job. I highly recommend his services.
