Kristen Devaney- I have worked with a lot of attorneys in my lifetime but none that cared as much about their clients’ needs as Kristen Devaney does. She was compassionate, caring and straight to the point. At no time did I feel she was wasting my time. I was able to develop a relationship with her, which lead me to trusting all that she had to offer and in the end felt like she treated me family. I can't say enough you helped me through a very rough time in my life. There is no better attorney out there that I would recommend. You are in great hands with Keith Shapiro and Ford, especially Kristen

Having a divorce is not easy but being represented by a bad lawyer is the worst. That was a bad experience until I contacted Richie Ford so all changes, I got a lawyer friend who worked with strategy taking care of my interests as well as listening carefully to my concerns and always with positive answers, then in my court appearances I was always accompanied and supported With a great lawyer and better person Kristen Davaney always supporting me legally and emotionally. In conclusion, a great team and very professional and extremely human law firm. I recommend them and if you not believe me, call

Richard Ford recently represented me for my divorce. When I initially met with Mr. Ford, I expressed to him what I would like the outcome to be and I got that and more!! He was very compassionate and gave great advice on what steps should be taken. He always consulted with me before responding back to opposing counsel. He addressed any concerns I had immediately whether it was through email or on the telephone. I am extremely blessed to have come across such a talented and knowledgeable attorney. He has truly made this process as less stressful for me as possible. I appreciate all of Mr. Ford and

I recommend Keith Shapiro & Ford to anyone needing legal representation in the area of family law. Richard Ford is very knowledgeable, personable, patient, empathetic and aggressive. The staff is very proficient and courteous. They cared about me as a person not just a client. I am extremely pleased with the way I was represented. I put my trust in them and I became confident and was put at ease. My case was handled professionally, and the outcome was better than expected. Thank you for everything

Richard Ford represented me in my nasty divorce. Richard was my second attorney I had hired after my first attorney milked me for 10 months & did absolutely nothing for me but make me look bad & keep wanting more money from me. After hiring Richard I knew it wasn't going to be the same situation. Richard was caring, explained everything to me over & over if I needed it. He handled my case very professionally and handled the opposing counsel in a professional mature manner which at times was not easy. Richard is a very upstanding attorney & man. I have enjoyed working with him during this difficult

Ten years ago, when I was going through my divorce, I hired Richard Ford to represent me in my divorce. I had met with several lawyers prior to hiring Richard. A co-worker's sister who was also a lawyer in a different field, recommended I meet with Richard.
From the very beginning, Richard came across as very genuine, he was as painfully honest to me as I needed. My divorce was not very amicable, but Richard made it bearable. He always kept me in the loop, letting know what to expect, and a timetable of when he thought life would get easier.
