Prior to meeting Richard Abrams, I was represented by a New York divorce lawyer who neglected my priority for a peaceful divorce and steered my divorce process towards a litigious hostile battlefield, resulting in deep emotional stress, high legal fees, and several court visits, without reaching an agreement on any of the issues or getting anywhere.
During my first meeting with Richard Abrams I was impressed with his genuine attentiveness to my case, his warmth and professionalism and his honest communication. I felt confident he had the legal knowledge, skills, and professional ethics which supported my intent in reaching a benevolent settlement, maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship and establishing a less hostile environment during the divorce process. Richard acknowledged my intent and provided a thorough explanation about his legal approach and strategy in seeking more constructive alternatives and negotiating creative solutions to custody, financial settlement, and property distribution that takes into account the welfare of all concerned. Richard’s confident and compassionate approach inspired a harmonious divorce process, encouraged honest open communication, mutual respect, and more productive discussions and a fair agreement was reached easily.
Richard’s genuine care for the well-being of his clients and humane approach humanizes the divorce process and inspires those involved to treat each other as worthy human beings.
My deepest gratitude to you Richard for helping me during this very difficult time in my life and for sparing me further pain and for helping me achieve a compassionate closure on that chapter of my life.

Extremely well respected by his peers and clients alike, he is truly a superstar. I wholeheartedly recommend him with the highest praise and deepest appreciation for everything he did for me and my children in my divorce.

I have so many wonderful accolades for Richard Abrams that I find it difficult to put them altogether in a small compact space, but here goes… Richard is an amazing attorney and incredibly caring. My daughter’s divorce was heading down a nasty, emotionally difficult road. Her vindictive husband (and family) wanted to cause as much pain as possible. From the moment Richard began speaking with my daughter, we saw an immediate difference in her stress level. He was the constant calm voice of reason through the whole process, and so very generous with his time. He not only kept her sane, he kept me sane! I can’t thank him enough for helping to bring her to a place where she can finally move on. We are forever grateful and fortunate to have had Richard Abrams on our side.

When we began our work together, Mr. Abrams, honest and straightforward, told me that no parent “wins” in a custody dispute, especially if it becomes a battle. #TRUTH. His realistic approach was head-leveling, and a necessity when navigating such emotionally trying circumstances. He managed my expectations while helping me to remain focused on what was best for my daughter. He assured me that he would work to achieve “the most palatable solution” for all parties involved.

He efficiently resolved issues as we were confronted with them, while forecasting and planning for future events. He was communicative through each step of the process, sharing his knowledge and experiences so that I may confidently make informed decisions.

Family legal proceedings are deeply personal, and Mr. Abrams made a remarkable effort to gain an understanding of our very volatile situation. A compassionate advocate, he diligently protected my interests and the best interest of my daughter. I have a sincere appreciation for his moral and ethical standards and I could not have asked for a better advisor during the most difficult time of my life.

Over a decade ago I walked into Richard Abrams office, with an uncertain vision of my future. I was a young mother with two small children. My dreams of a picture perfect marriage were shattered; I was frightened, overwhelmed and completely deflated. Richard instinctively knew how to handle my emotional rollercoaster with sound advice and endless patience. From our initial meeting, he advised me that (for the sake of the children) every attempt should be made to settle differences with my ex out of court. Years of experience had taught him that long drawn out divorce cases could have far reaching complications on the youngest members. An amicable resolution is always the most beneficial in the end. It is this philosophy that sets him apart from all others in his field. Richard is a consummate professional who cares deeply for his clients. Not only was he my biggest supporter but he was also a powerful and brilliant advocate for our children. He is unique in that he sees the entire picture – present and future. Reminding me that once the dust settled, my ex and I still had to find mutual ground to successfully co-parent.
Through difficult negotiations Richard remained calm, respectful yet unflappable under pressure. It would be an understatement to say that he gave us all a new lease on life. The kids are now 10 and 12 years old, happy, confident and well adjusted. Richard laid the foundation on which we could rebuild our lives and for that I will always be grateful.

Richard is not only an amazing attorney but a genuinely good person who looks out for the best interest of his clients. I am so very grateful for what he did for me and my young daughter during a very difficult, high-conflict divorce. Due to Richard's poise, experience and knowledge my daughter and I now have reached a place where we are at peace and truly happy again.
