I cannot say enough good things about Richard Garriott and the way he represented me and my family during our custody case. From the very beginning, Richard was professional, compassionate, and fully attentive to our needs. He treated us with respect and took the time to truly understand our situation and what was best for our daughter. What stood out most was how he navigated a very difficult and emotionally charged case with calm, grace, and professionalism. Even when things became challenging, Richard remained respectful and focused, always working toward a resolution that served our daughter's best interests. Throughout the process, Richard was responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in his guidance. His ability to manage such a complex case gave us confidence and peace of mind during one of the hardest times in our lives. If you are looking for an attorney who leads with integrity, professionalism, and care, I highly recommend Richard Garriott. We are beyond grateful for his

I needed someone who could handle a complex divorce situation and Richard, along with his team did a great job of achieving a fair settlement. He was able to peacefully and respectfully reach across to the other party and negotiate what became a very fair situation for all. Previous attorney's had failed. He may have cost me a few extra dollars but in the end it was worth every penny.

We have known Rich since we lived in the same neighborhood, had playgroups together with our children and my husband coached his daughter in sports. We have called him for advice a few times and he never hesitates to get back to us. His advice has always been great. We highly recommend him. He truly is invested in his community!

Rich and his team are nothing short of amazing! My family dealt with numerous issues and his team was very helpful in ensuring the matters where handled well. I would highly recommend Rich to anyone and I certainly have.

His team of lawyers far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone going through a hostile divorce or contested custody dispute.

Although Mr.Garriott seems to be a fine lawyer on paper, I found his services to be very poor. Too late, I realized he was egotistical and self serving. His judgement call was very poor and at times he seemed like he was fighting for the other party and not me. I regret the day I hired him.

I lost everything. My case was prolonged so he and his colleagues could continue to charge excessively. There is poor communication between Mr. Garriott and his colleagues resulting in detrimental errors. I was separated longer than I was married working with him and we never set foot in court. I never receive financial assistance for my son's medical bills or childcare costs for 2 years. My lawyer who finished my case got us in for child support within a couple of months of hiring him.
