Divorce, even under amicable -ish terms is painful. Fluctuating emotions and unsolicited advice from family and friends can make even the most rational and clear headed think they are losing their mind. But when you have a narcissistic ex who is determined to make your life a living hell - this is when you need Richard to step in and fight for you. Richard is a no nonsense voice of reason kind of guy. Straight shooter who sees the bullshit a mile away. He will act as mediator when needed and show his claws when they are due. My divorce was extremely difficult and very long. It lasted 3 years with child custody and financial battle. His advice, direction, predictions were always spot on. He knows the court system in Queens inside out. He knows the judges and very well respected in court. When I was at my lowest point, indecisive and out of my realm of knowledge Richard made sure to use his extensive expertise and strongly push for terms on my behalf. Consistently assisting me in making difficult decisions and prioritizing both my and my children's needs both presently and in the future. The light at the end of the proverbial tunnel is glorious and I'm so thankful that Richard was able to help me get there without a costly trial and skillfully negotiated the settlement. Have a chat with him and you'll feel like you're in the best of hands. End your search now. He is your guy. I promise.

I can't say enough good things about Richard Beckerman, of Beckerman & Granados. I hired him to represent me in a post-divorce judgement enforcement matter. The case grew to be quite complicated. Richard handled everything with patience and professionalism. He never dropped the ball, and stood up for my rights. He charges flat fees that are very reasonable. Richard is easy to talk to and has a fierce determination and a keen insight. He knows the court system inside and out, and will broker the best possible deal for you. He knew what was in my best interest even before I did! The best advice I can give you today is this: If you need a divorce/family law attorney, reach out to Richard Beckerman, before your ex does.

I was extremely concerned because my wife hired a pit-bull attorney. I was recommended the law office of Donald Mastrodomenico by a very high Manhattan firm. Richard knows the Queens court. He knows Queens culture. My ex-wife complained about how her lawyer was looking to create strife in order get more money. I never felt that way. In fact, he spent more time with me teaching me about how the divorce court works in Queens, which was not the case for my ex-wife's with her more expensive lawyer. I always felt he looked out for my best interests. He truly protected my best interests. Once we worked out what was feasible and what I wanted, he was able to work my ex-wife's attorney to get a shared custody settlement that worked for me and was best for my two daughters. I feel very lucky to have found him.

Richard Beckerman handled my divorce case with sheer diligence and professionalism. The deals he was able to negotiate for me saved me a lot of money and my daughters live with me way more than the usual divorce outcome for a dad! Thank you Richard!!

I could not have found a better lawyer to wrap up my divorce case than Richard. My original attys played on my emotional strings and kept dragging the case on (or so it seemed). I must have gone to court to sit in a hallway, staring at my ex, about 5 or 6 times with nothing getting done!!!! I don't even know who or what the lawyers were talking about when they finally went in the room??? I finally, fortunately, went to see Richard. I was so impressed I hired him on the spot. He did not disappoint!!!
No emotional BS - he just wanted the same thing I did. Get it over !! His emails to her lawyer were very well written and he always had my back. Hopefully you're reading this before you hire an attorney and even if you did, he is probably worth switching for. Oh yeah, reasonably priced to boot. Thanks for everything Richard.

I was very happy with the way Rich represented me in my divorce case from a stressful four years with numerous lawyers and lots of wasted money. As a result of retaining Rich, I got my divorce finalized in just over three months, and got exactly what I wanted. Thank you Rich, you're truly a god sent.

I am so happy that I had Richard representing me in a contentious divorce. He listened to my requests and needs and advised me very well. He negotiated a settlement far beyond what I could have expected. He is tenacious, dedicated and did not back down to represent my best interests. He is quick to respond and to keep me, the client apprised on the status of my case. He always was available to meet and discuss my case and never watched the clock. I always knew I had his complete undivided attention. I never doubted his direction and had complete faith in him representing me. He has a quick and analytical mind to be able to formulate the best strategy to get the best outcome for me. His affable personality always made me feel that everything will have a positive outcome even when I couldn't see it. Top notch attorney, great legal mind. I would strongly recommend him as a first choice to represent anyone in any divorce or family related issues. I assure you , you will not be disappointed. Thank you Richard!

Most dedicated Lawyer ever. Richard Beckerman was amazing during this process and got me everything I originally wanted AND MORE. I decided to go with this law firm because they charged a flat rate retainer and I knew the process of divorcing my ex-wife and the custody battle that would ensue would be lengthy. As a man seeking custody of my daughter I knew it would be an uphill battle. Thank god they assigned me Richard. He was in contact with me throughout the ENTIRE process and not only was understanding and caring, he got me the results I wanted. I ended up obtaining full custody of my child as well as obtaining child support from the mother. Without Richard I would most likely be another man not involved in their child's life. I am truly thankful that Richard was patient and fought for me during every step of the way.
Thank you Richard Beckerman for putting me back in my daughters life. I owe you more than these words will ever begin to describe.

At first moving to a different state, not knowing anyone, and going through custody issues with my son. I felt that nothing could be done. I did some research and found Mastrodomenico Law Office. I met with Richard and this guy was awesome! Very knowledgeable about what and how things should be. He made me feel at ease throughout everything. He made my Impossible, Possible! I came out with everything I asked for. Fair and Even on both sides and he fought for what was right and I could not be more Grateful! Thank You! My lawyer for life!

As a very satisfied client, I happily recommend Rich to anyone seeking an attorney who will represent your interests fully, thoroughly, and effectively. My divorce was a long arduous process, but Rich fought hard for me in court and listened to my ideas and concerns with an open mind and an eye toward my long term best interests. And this excellent representation can at a very reasonable cost. My outcome was completely favorable and I can't thank him enough for all he did. I'm certain anyone fortunate to work with him will be similarly pleased with his diligence and his very approachable demeanor.

I would like to thank Richard Beckerman for handling my case. Rich was very professional and friendly. With a lot of money at stake, Rich was very knowledgable with the law and was able to aggressively negotiate a deal where I kept all of my money. I consulted other top lawyers in the city prior to and during working with Rich (including famous ones that represent celebrities) and I do not believe they would have been able to negotiate and get the deal that Rich got for me. I definitely recommend Rich to others. He works on your case immediately and efficiently, and cost less than other firms. My case was a success because of Rich Beckerman. Thank you so much!
