Richard Masson is friendly, has a great heart, he's professional, understanding, knowledgeable and extremely supportive and intelligent in his profession as an attorney and I'll recommend him to all of my friends and colleagues. Richard, goes above and beyond and I will always support and recommend him for your legal needs. Hiring Richard Masson and his team will be the best decision you’ve ever made.
Richard Masson has been my attorney for over 5 years and it has been an honor to have his representation. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, confident, honest and genuine ( and very funny too!). He was very forthright and patient in explaining everything in detail to me every step of the way throughout my divorce proceedings. Richard took his time to hear all of my concerns and clearly and concisely outlines all the different courses of action including the positives and negatives with each choice. Furthermore, Richard and his staff always responded to me in a timely manner. I give Richard my highest recommendation.
Richard Masson was a GOD send! He is the best attorney out there as he will fight for you and pay attention to every last detail. He communicates with you and explains everything without leaving you in the dark. He is a straight shooter ..and that is nice! I believe that is needed when you are going through one of the hardest times in your life and are needing to entrust someone with your children’s future or assets. His office is organized and on top of everything to keep things running smoothly-from sending paperwork to being filed with the courts, to communicating with you on what needs to be completed next on your end. They are a true team! They have strong communication with one another and with you! He has won my case and I couldn’t have been more thankful to Richard Masson and his entire team as they were all there for my daughter and I when we needed them! If you are looking for an attorney ..look no further, because he is the ONE!! You will not regret it or be disappointed!
Richard is an exceptional Attorney. He’s extremely knowledgeable, understanding and will fight for you. It was very comforting, knowing he had my back at every turn, which were a lot! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a an Attorney that will fight, like he’s representing himself in court.
Richard Masson was easy to work with, always professional and was upfront and honest about all fees and costs. We loved working with Richard to finalize our estate plan, and he raised concerns and potential problems we had not even considered. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking to put together their wills and trusts. Planning for the future should be a priority for everyone right now.
I worked with Richard on two occasions. My initial divorce and then a follow up proceeding several years later. As divorce can be emotional and sometimes the court systems do not make sense logically. Richard helped to sort through everything and get things done. Many times, going into court or after some issues that popped up, I would feel overwhelmed. Richard always had a very calming demeanor, while speaking the realities. If you are looking for a lawyer that has a great knowledge of the law, along with caring individually about their client. I would highly recommend Richard.
These last two years were a heavy lift for Mr. Mason and he has done a tremendous job at achieving justice in my case. I had to learn the hard way what good representation was. Beyond happy I met Mr. Masson and his team.
In my opinion, Richard Masson and his office are a great choice if you want emails and calls to go unanswered for days on end, have motions and trial preparation completed at the final hour or get your questions and information back so late that you will not have a chance to completely review, correct items or be clear on the pre-trail trail tactics and strategies Richard will use. Trial day isn’t a time to be surprised by your own counsel. Lack of preparation is the norm and that could include being told that Richard would not be at your hearing right before it. His replacement, being an inexperienced lawyer that you didn’t hire, doesn’t know your case and will fail to represent you in the fashion that you expected Richard to do so when you hired and paid him. Be prepared to track your own filing dates, battle to get calls and emails returned, and hear many different excuses along the way. Pay for someone to provide law service not practice of it.
