Richardson Law Group

My experience with Attorney Jean Richardson and his law firm was extremely disappointing. I retained him to represent me in my divorce case and paid an initial $7,500 retainer. Later, his office requested an additional trial retainer, and I paid $2,500 toward that amount. After I declined a settlement proposal that I believed was not in my best interests, communication with the firm became virtually nonexistent. Shortly thereafter, the attorney filed a Motion to Withdraw and withdrew from my case, even though I had an upcoming Case Management Conference and trial. This left me with very little time to retain new counsel and prepare my case. I requested a copy of my complete electronic client file, and it was eventually provided. However, the firm continues to refuse to refund the $2,500 that I paid specifically for trial representation, even though those services were never provided because the attorney voluntarily withdrew from my case. As a result of this experience, I filed a formal complaint with The Florida Bar, requesting that it investigate the attorney's conduct and determine whether he complied with the professional obligations required under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. As a client, I expected honesty, communication, and professional representation. Instead, I was left without legal counsel during a critical stage of my case and am still trying to recover money paid for services that were never performed. I am sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision before retaining this law firm.

I retained Jean to help me fight a really contentious divorce from a ruthless, spiteful man. I was so scared, lost and confused when I first called their office. Ronica sat on the phone with me and listened to me cry and vent like an old friend. I knew then I was in the right hands. I made my intentions very clear about what I wanted in my settlement and I was not going to budge. Jean was able to not only settle my divorce in mediation, but he got me everything I wanted and more. I was blown away at how passionate, caring, knowledgable and confident he was in what he was doing. It felt like we were working as a team to get to the same goal. I'm now starting my new life, happy and hopeful for the future. Best divorce attorney ever!
