Hired Attorney Richard Bartholomew

Rick is lazy, entitled, and unresponsive. Suffers from typical "know it all boomer" syndrome and feels like he can talk down to anyone. Does NOT place the best interest of children at heart, only how he can make a buck meddling in the lives of families. Guy is total garbage and represents everything wrong with the woke boomer generation that needs to hurry up and retire already. Did I mention his clear and obvious political bias? Just let this guy find out you have any ideology he doesn't like and you're suddenly going to lose everything per his recommendation. Guy is a policitized hack. Give it up and go away, Dirty Rick.

Hired Attorney Richard Bartholomew

Hired as a GAL, did an atrocious Job to the point I thought he was being manipulated. It turns out he had a stroke prior to the GAL investigation and represents himself as capable to preform court duties. Do not hire!

Hired Attorney Richard Bartholomew

I would not recommend this guy. He does a poor job and takes your money then turns into a jerk who thinks he knows everything and I could not get a word in. He talked to me like a child and talked to my soon to be ex-husband for 2 hours when I was not there and then tried to charge ME for that!!! The guys a sham and he's so bored with his job he thinks he can do it in his sleep. Plus all the talking he did he gave me no good advice if any! I had to look up advise online for myself.

Hired Law Firm

Richard Bartholomew, after taking my money, interrupted me constantly and acted like I was an idiot that knew nothing and he talked to me like I was a child. He also, being my lawyer and not my ex-husband's lawyer, talked to my husband for a couple of hours without me present and after he talked to my ex-husband, my ex-husband decided to change several things on the divorce terms. My ex had no lawyer of his own so my lawyer gave him inside information and I lost a lot to my ex.

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.
