Paul Riviere did an outstanding job of representing me in my Tort Claim. Communication was excellent, my questions and concerns were answered and he was always ready to assist when needed. He really fought for me to get the settlement I needed and deserved. I highly recommend this attorney.

My family used Attorney Paul Riviere for some legal issues. Paul did a great job representing us. Whenever we called Paul, when we had questions, Paul always returned our calls with the answers. We were very satisfied with Mr. Riviere's work. We will definitely use Mr. Riviere again.

I hired Paul to represent my daughter in a partnership dispute. Although he was very good in the beginning negotiating a fair settlement, he has failed to help her in executing the terms of the contract. He has basically told us she can pursue payment due her in small claims court . He was paid a very hefty retainer which he has almost all exhausted. I feel like he has abandoned her without helping to enforce the settlement he helped navigate. She is still without payment due her which he never followed up on. Im sure he will expect more payment for that . I am disappointed in his lack of helping to enforce a vital part of this agreement .

I've been extremely taken aback by the acrimonious demeanor I've read, in the reviews, regarding The law firm of Riviere Cresci & Singer but specifically Mr, Paul Riviere. Esq. I first became acquainted with Mr. Riviere after I suffered an automobile accident. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Riveire, along with other perspective attorney's, while looking for representation. After meeting with Mr. Reviere I knew instantly that he was the man I was going to hire. Mr. Riviere proved to be the right choice not only from his business acumen but his personal interest as well in my health and welfare. I would highly recommend this firm and Mr. Reviere if you are looking for an established firm with a history of excellent client-attorney interaction.

Paul worked on a tax assessment case for my husband and I. Our town assessed our house and as a result our taxes were due to increase. Paul was excellent and time efficient. He fought our town to have the house re-assessed and as a result our taxes did not increase and we got are due for a refund from the township. Thanks so much for a job well done!

Paul worked on an expongment case for me that I thought would never go thru. Paul was very professional and really helped direct me to what I needed to do in order for him to get the job done. I can't thank him enough for his hard work. I recommend Paul to anyone for any case that they would need a lawyer for.
