Hired Attorney Atty. Ashley Richter

was facing an incredibly sensitive probate matter, and working with Ashley made all the difference. From the beginning, she was highly knowledgeable and professional, as well as exceptionally responsive. She took the time to walk me through all my options with clarity and patience, making sure I felt informed and empowered every step of the way. Her dedication, strategic insight, and ability to collaborate on the most challenging aspects of my case with confidence truly set her apart. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and strongly recommend Richter & Schweiger to anyone in need of outstanding legal support.

Hired Attorney Atty. Ashley Richter

I recently hired Ashley for a Divorce settlement. She was very compassionate under the circumstances and was a great advocate for myself all along the way. I greatly appreciated that she never sugar coated anything and laid out the details and her thought process on why she recommended certain actions. I could tell she had my best interest at heart and after back and forth agreements with the other party she recommended we settle on the agreement as it was the best financial outcome and never tried to draw the process out and increase her fees which she was very transparent about. Despite it being a very hard time it was nice knowing she had my back.

Hired Attorney Atty. Brad Schweiger

Would not advocate for me. Wanted to go along with everything my ex wife's attorney asked for. Only when I said I did not agree would he push back and usually they accepted our terms. Also said I should pay her daycare costs during the proceedings which I have come to find out was a very expensive mistake. He also rambled on the phone calls and repeated information 3 or 4 times which really racked up the billable hours. please go elsewhere or represent yourself. You will be better off

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
