Rick did an incredible job throughout the whole divorce process. I had seen various attorneys previously and my experience was that he was by far the smartest, most competent, and fastest. To give you a point of comparison, my ex-wife went through three different attorneys, each one looking good on paper and ultimately being a disaster (which played in my favor). Rick is very talented, and understands the needs of his clients. He was always very professional and provided excellent and consistent feedback and advice. I was confronted with a challenging divorce, with my ex-wife that did not work for the past 12 years, and significant assets and properties in the US and abroad. All sorts of unexpected issues arose during my case (sudden request from my ex-wife to relocate with the children, changes in her position and requests, new lawyers appointed, etc) and throughout it all Rick provided excellent guidance. Rick was great as well at providing reassurance in the moments of tension and doubt, and also ensuring that we kept a hard position when needed. His extensive financial background with knowledge of taxes/finances/alimony/child support guidelines allowed him to calculate in a few minutes what the CPA or other attorneys took extensive time on their computers to do! This clearly played in our favor during our negotiations. Rick was also very strong in convincing the opposing party to abandon any of their non-realistic claims, and to take the conversation back to our position. Rick is an extremely strong negotiator, and I saw how he was far superior to the other attorneys in mediation and throughout the whole divorce process. He understood my desire to limit costs and find a settlement, while ensuring the outcome was favorable to me. I am very pleased with the overall result and agreement reached, and furthermore saved a tremendous amount by avoiding having to go to court. I would therefore highly recommend Richard Schurr to anyone seeking top tier legal counsel.
