The west family law group was by far excellent in the areas of communication and personal relationship. Shane was an excellent representation of someone who took care and appreciation into consideration. I heard of Shane from a reference that had another great experience. Shane had covered my case which was in Hernando County which he didn’t want to take at first, but hearing what I had to say, he put his professional opinion Exactly where it needed to be. I was guided and informed to the fullest extent that he could provide from research to in depth conversations hearing what I had to say. Thank you for guiding me in the direction and helping me gain custody of my daughter from Florida to Georgia! I am forever in appreciation for your assistance.

Richard is a great attorney! I highly recommend him!

Richard West and his staff are very professional and have made a difficult time for me a lot easier. I would highly recommend them.

This firm recently fought a very unique, difficult and long custody/child support case for me against an even more difficult and uncooperative opposing party. They achieved results that far exceeded my expectations! Richard, Shane and the entire staff welcome you and will fight hard for your family's rights. They have the highest recommendation I can give, on a scale of 1 to 10 – they are a 15! They are readily available and will not keep you waiting or wondering. They are kind, compassionate, extremely professional and on the ball in a day and age where good help is hard to find!! You will rest at ease in the hands of Richard West, Shane Herbert and the entire staff at West Family Law, knowing that if there is a way, this firm will deliver it! Nicole

Shane Herbert of WFLG did a phenomenal job as my divorce attorney. From the beginning he took time to really listen and dive into my case. I felt he did a great job of preparing me for what the potential (both positive & negative) and realistic outcomes could be. We reached an agreement through mediation that I was satisfied with and would absolutely recommend his services!

Excellent service.

I highly recommend Richard West. He handled my divorce in 2006 using Collaborative Law. This process was most effective and efficient. I found Richard to be extremely professional and also compassionate. He is highly respected by his peers and works well with them.

I would strongly recommend Richard West. What I appreciated about Richard was his ability to clearly develop, articulate and implement a strategy. He also was very skilled at cutting through the unproductive emotion or periphery issues I would raise. That in the end saved, time, money and was always the right call. I also was struck by the deep respect he was given by opposing counsel and that cannot be underestimated. I sensed that respect enhanced the willingness of the opposition to be reasonable or even eager to work with us, when weighing the likelihood of their success, should they to square off with Richard in the court room. There were at least two occasions, in trying to create a "David and Goliath" scenario, different opposing counsel commented on how I had hired the best lawyer available!

I was referred to Richard by another Attorney. She said my divorce would require an Attorney of his caliber. She was right. Richard, and the whole team, were responsive, professional, an thoughtful. I was very pleased with the outcome of my settlement. I hope you never have to endure a divorce, but if you do, this is the guy you want in your corner. No question.

I was involved in a very complicated divorce which was extremely contentious. Richard West was a true professional and always tried his best to get me to the finish line as fast as possible. Fortunately we had an extremely favorable outcome because of his hard work and knowledge of the law. He is well respected by the legal community and has a great reputation.

I hired Richard to represent me in my complicated divorce case. I was provided excellent service and representation. Richard is realistic, honest and very knowledgable. He knows when to litigate and when not to. I would strongly recommend him without any hesitation. javaid

Richard West is, hands-down, the best divorce lawyer in Central Florida. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and experienced, he knows how to balance the needs and concerns of a client with the technical and sometimes difficult process of divorce. Richard represented me on my divorce. I have been a practicing lawyer for over 30 years and probably the most difficult client any other attorney could encounter. He gave me space to express my feelings and influence the process without in anyway restricting or redirecting my goals. One of Richard’s particular strengths is with financial matters so anyone with a more complicated property settlement, including closely held investment or business entities, would be well advised to consult with Richard first.
