Thank you for being there for me when I needed you.
Kevin
From the very beginning, Richard came across as very genuine, he was as painfully honest to me as I needed. My divorce was not very amicable, but Richard made it bearable. He always kept me in the loop, letting know what to expect, and a timetable of when he thought life would get easier.
Going to court with Richard, you can't help but notice the great rapport he has with other lawyers, (including his opposition), the clerks, and the judges we came across. Seeing the respect the many lawyers walking the hallways of the different court houses showed him, definitely put me at ease. My first court date, I was pretty nervous, and he quickly calmed me down knowing I was in good hands.
As I mentioned the divorce was not amicable, and as nasty as some of the comments my ex may have said during our meetings, Richard remained the course, professional, courteous, and so much more knowledgeable than our opposition. Just watching his courtroom demeanor, you could sense his total knowledge of the laws with regard to my case, and how he was going to try to convince the judge to see how they pertained to me.
Richard's listening skills were very much appreciated. Too many lawyers, (and a lot of non-lawyers), tend to just talk, and not listen to your' responses. Without listening skills, the lawyer misses pertinent information. Richard made it known from the very beginning, he wanted to understand every aspect of the case and look at it from all angles. It was funny as he would refer to the "Godfather" movie as to not wanting to walk into a surprise that i didn't inform him on. He used the line in the movie.
I would highly recommend Richard Ford to anyone. His professionalism, Honesty, and competence left me feeling rest assured he'd be fighting for my interests.
They misspelled both mine and my wife's name almost in every document in my purchase of a house. I am fighting with them to fix it (I live in the house for 2 month already). I found out the assistant, Michele, talking behind my back about me with other companies involve in the process.
Important parts of the contract I would never agree too were presented before me at the closing. YOU MUST read every word in the contract you sign.. DO NOT trust them to have your best interest!
I lost a lot of money because of poor negotiation on my behalf. They do not represent my best interest, they were only fighting and convincing me to accept of the other party terms. Example: The house included air condition units. Each unit cost about $3000. One didn't work and I got $300 for it. To fix it cost $1100.
