Our case was a confusing one. We needed a strong attorney!!! Richard was recommended to us, by several people. We were very impressed when we heard, from a CPS SW, that CPS SWs did not enjoy being on the opposite side of the table from Richard. This made it more appealing to work with him. We needed strong advocacy and logic. This is exactly what we got! We hope never to be in the position of needing an attorney again. However, if we do, we know where to find Richard, and we know the TRUTH will be told and justice will prevail. We NEVER had difficulty getting in touch with Richard or his assistants. We were very pleased with the outcome of our case! Money well spent!
Thank you Richard!

Richard Okrent spoke with tenacity, but when it came down to it all I got was mediocrity. One hearing that he should have had in the bag was totally botched. I would not recommend Richard Okrent to anyone. I truly felt he worked more for the Support system and my ex and not for me.

What an incredible advocate! I have many years of experience in the legal profession and if I ever needed an attorney, Richard is the first place I would go. He takes his cases personally and fights for the underdog. He lives, breathes, eats, sleeps his clients. A busy lawyer is a good lawyer and the last thing I would want is an attorney who had no clients or files in his office. Just like I wouldn't want to eat at a restaurant that had no customers, I wouldn't want an attorney who wasn't busy--busy restaurant usually means good food; lawyers are busy because people want to hire them because they are great. I have never seen an attorney work with such tenacity. He is incredibly persuasive to the Court. I would never wish to be his adversary. He would be more than a worthy opponent; I would be working day and night to catch up with all of his experience. He takes the cases so seriously that it is though he is representing himself. He's an outstanding attorney.

I do agree that Okrent's practice is a busy one and he is sometimes difficult to get a hold of. However, we were referred to him by another atty who said in dependency cases “he is the best there is in this County”, and I am thankful that he is on our side. With his experience and background knowledge, he understands the system and the dependency process well. His billable rates are reasonable and his advice has been right on target. His communication style may be very honest and direct, which we have appreciated since this process is new to us, but it may not work well with everyone. We have found his intentions to be in the right place as an advocate for us and our children, and he never lets me start a discussion without first asking about our children and how they are doing. He is brilliant in court and has been EFFECTIVE, which in our case has meant that he was the determining factor in getting our children returned – which in the end is the most important thing.

I have and am still having trouble getting ahold of him. He is rude and we still don't have our issue resolved.. Going on 4mos... He never returns calls, but on another note be is knowledgeable, and seems to know what's going on.. But being late to a 15min court hearing and charging us the full hour out of the retainer... Rediculous.

He is the best attorney I've ever come across. One of the main things I liked about him is that I trusted him and his judgment completely. I loved watching him in court; he would transform from a nice, quiet-spoken man into a lion. I wish I could use him in a current case I am involved with (personal injury in a car accident) because I don't trust the lawyer I've got at all and don't know whether to believe what he's telling me is the truth or that he just doesn't want to put forth any effort on my behalf. I always knew that Richard Okrent would work his tail off on my behalf.
