I am very happy with the work Mr. Saliterman did for me. His attention to detail and thoroughness was evident on this bankruptcy matter. He was able to substantially increase the settlement amount from what was initially proposed.

When I had a huge shop downtown Minneapolis for 33 years, a instrument service center, with several people working for me full time, we meet Mr. Saliterman sometime after we started and we were so impressed with his thoroughness that we decided to retain him right along. I even referred him to other businessmen and they started also to get help from Mr. Saliterman. He has been a very, very good loyal and wonderful lawyer. His

I retained Richard after a major property loss. I was completely unprepared for the hostile environment created by the combined forces of my insurance company and government officials. If not for Richard, I would have walked away with nothing. From start to finish, Richard stood by my side. He assembled a fantastic team, including experts in relevant fields. When they went to work, top state officials backed down and my insurance paid. Richard's tenacity saved me and my kids from financial ruin.

I used Richard after the fact with a contract disagreement and he achieved solid results for me. I wouldn't have got results without him. He is very smart in discerning legal issues, excellent negotiator, totally goes to bat for client in getting positive results, highest legal abilities and has co-authored law books, has network of expert attorneys if needed, explains the process and status of the case, and has fair and reasonable fees. Would absolutely use him again.

Hired Attorney

There is not enough space to express my unfortunate experience with Mr. Saliterman. He provided erroneous advice generating excessive fees. Mr. Saliterman advised my documentation was not sufficient to address my legal matter. Using his advice and paying a lot of money I was getting nowhere. In frustration I completed my own investigation and released Saliterman. In conclusion I resolved my issue by myself for the price of a stamp. I do not recommend this attorney.

He was very unprofessional to his support staff. He was abusive mentally to both attorneys and legal support. He has since been removed from practicing which should have happened many years ago bc of his mental non-wellbeing. There is a class action lawsuit pending against him for his abuse over the years to not only in-person staff but also contract personnel and attorneys.

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
