Good estate Lawyers, very knowledgeable

I am not your typical bankruptcy candidate, and did not have a typical case or situation, which included an out-of-state foreclosure. I researched quite a few attorneys in and around the Ithaca area, and found nothing but great reviews about the work Dick has done - and I would complete agree with this assessment as well. The only 'negative' that I read in past reviews was about his fee, which I do not think was at all unreasonable for the amount of work that went into my case. You want your case done right? You want your lawyer to actually read all your documentation and give you multifaceted advice based specifically about your case? Believe me - this is the way to go. For example, Dick outlined my options, and then explained the potential outcomes from each option - what my debtors could (may) do if I did or didn't file. His thoroughness and professionalism is impressive. He even gave me a ride to the courthouse the day I met with the trustee. He's fast will email responses, and works well through electronic communication. I did not have to travel to his office often to get things done - just when it came to signatures. I am grateful that I had him on my side during this process. I felt safe, and knew the whole ordeal of bankruptcy would be taken care of correctly. Thank you Dick.

Dick was immediately attentive and extremely thorough in handling the closing on our house. Issues were complicated by our living overseas but everything was handled quickly and without drama by Dick. The fees quoted were reasonable (I expected them to be higher) and everything was stress free for us.

Dick worked with me for over three years while I hemmed and hawed about a bankruptcy case. I was terrified and he was patient. I was preoccupied and he was consistent with offering me information and yet no pressure. Eventually he knew me well enough to joke with me and help me relax and just get the necessary work done. He admitted if he did not have the answers and then promptly did the research. He was steadfast and in the end my case was completely worked out. Thank you!

I went to see him but he wanted $1,500.00, how does one come up with this amount of cash .....

Mr. Ruswick was attentive and knowledgeable. He used his experience to help me make a tough life decision and feel comfortable with that decision. Mr. Ruswick is an outstanding advocate.

Richard helped us with a chapter 7 bankruptcy, and was very helpful, knowledgeable and made going through this somewhat painful process very easy and tolerable. His advice was good, he was accurate, and I felt his fee was quite fair for the amount of work required. Ethical and good attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Attorney Ruswick provided legal support with the settlement of my mother's estate. I'd say that her Will was relatively straightforward, But he did what needed to be done in a very timely manner, was always willing to help, and his fees were very reasonable.

He made me feel very comfortable about a situation that was not.

Richard was able to lead me through the process with a minimum of pain on my part and I was amazed at how quickly he responded to my questions. I would have no problem using Richard again for any areas that he practices.
