Consumer Rights, trusts, deeds, home homeowners insurance, items Richard F De Vall helped me with 2020-2023. His knowledge is profound on property rights having owned and leased property in NEW YORK while practicing full time as a NEW YORK ATTORNEY. Mr. De Vall sees ahead what each party will do because he has worked for both sides: Defense, Prosecution, and Protection of citizens partnerships and all Departments of a whole cities, in New York and Florida. He answers calls promptly. Nissan wanted to repo our leased car for no reason for a year. Nissan took my credit score from 810 to 330. Richard DeVall got Nissan to stop harassing us. He made Nissan write a letter of apology from the highest guy in the company. He restored my credit back to 810. It took a lot of letter writing because Nissan payments are in TX. Mr. DeVall never gave up. I’m in Flagler. I’m old. Mr. DeVall did interstate commerce law remotely! He’ll travel to meet you but he has offices. He got me my life back!

Hired Attorney

Richard De Vall got us $125,000 in our litigation case for construction contractor problem. He did his own research like a Private Eye on the other party. He found the other party a bad past in another state. Even though our case was in South Florida we have a home in New York. We were looking for a New York and Florida licensed trial lawyer because New York lawyers get the best training difficult environments. We are elderly. My husband is hard of hearing. Richard DeVall took his time with us. He handled everything and made it easy for us. He’s a litigation and mediation attorney with nearly 40 years experience. We were happy with our settlement. We chose Mr. DeVall because of his experience. He is trustworthy and will take your case to trial if we wanted. Not all lawyers will go to trial. Richard DeVall listens to what the client wants, gives his opinion and he teaches you about YOUR best options. He is direct and kind. You are dealing with a real pro on your side!
