Very fortunate I contacted Attorney Richard Asselta
I contacted Attorney Asselta when I was accused of academic misconduct by my University. He listened to the facts carefully, asked pointed questions, and noticed a fact pattern and existence of evidence that showed misconduct had not occurred from my actions. He advised on how to document and present those facts in the hearing. He did all of this in a free consultation. The other parties in the case in question were found responsible, but I was not. I attribute that to Attorney Asseslta's advice. I highly recommend him.

Richard is all that the 5-star reviews say that he is.
I am not going to expound on Richard’s expertise as a lawyer because I’m giving him a 5-star rating, which in itself would already suggest that he is good at what he does. I would like to talk about Richard as a person... Do you ever wonder why Richard has all 5-star reviews? Human relationship/connection is what our hearts’ value the most especially in times of trials, and Richard tabbed into that human connection seamlessly. He doesn’t need to work hard at connecting with you, but rather it is a part of his natural disposition. Richard makes you feel that you are valued and that your issues mattered to him by taking the time to listen to you and give advise without even mentioning about his fees; he treats you like a friend instead of a potential client; he makes you feel comfortable to approach him with your issues instead of that uneasy feeling often associated with lawyers. I strongly recommend Richard as an advocate for your educational needs because he cares about you as a person and truly wants the best for you. Richard, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you’ve done for my son!

BEST consultation, BEST advice, BEST LAWYER!
I was shaking in my core on how I was going to explain to Richard the issue I was dealing with. He first told me to take a deep breath, calm down and he would help me out to the utmost of his ability. After a gratefully given amount of time that he took to speak with me, we ended our conversation with total comfort that I was not going to be alone if I needed his help. He gave me the best advice, explained in great detail how the system worked, and how I could appeal this incident if it was processed. So thankfully with his help, I responded to my issue correctly with my newly found confidence, and it worked itself out on it's own! I even called him and thanked him from the bottom of my heart for all of his time spent with me! I definitely recommend his service to anyone in need!

Teacher
For almost two years I faced a serious allegation of teacher misconduct by my school district and the Florida Department of Education. As you could understand, I felt frustrated and desperate because of the consequences on my life, prestige as an educator and well-being. I thought my world was falling apart. Thanks to what I had read on previous reviews about education lawyers, I decided to call the office of Richard Asselta who was highly rated for his service. Let me tell you that this has been the wisest decision I have taken in my whole life. Since I contacted him, he became very interested in my case. I explained to him what had happened, which was a case of misinterpretation during the administration of the FSA tests. I also provided him with the documents that I had been given showing what they were accusing me of and he got down to work very expeditiously. From that moment on, he took my case and prepared my defense before my district and the state. He provided sound legal advice in face of each hurdle. Thanks to all his legal efforts and flawless work, I was finally exonerated without any action taken by any entity. He was always available and responded promptly to my questions and concerns. His professionalism and commitment were present every step of the way until the final and positive resolution of my case. I highly recommend him to anybody who may face a legal issue as a teacher or professor in any educational institution.

I AM EXCITED TO ADD A 5 STAR REVIEW TO THIS SIE!!
I spoke with this amazing attorney a few hours ago. That is how I can say that Mr. Asselta truly cares about people and truly cares about being the best attorney possible. Mr. Asselta listened to my situation, asked important questions to learn about my facts, provided realistic options (with pros and cons) and at the same time was polite and kind. Mr. Asselta obviously is well trained and experienced. He amazingly returned my telephone call in a very short time. Even though he provided a free (ask yourself how many attorneys provide free consultations??) consultation, at no time did Mr. Asselta rush our telephone conversation. It was the same feeling as talking with a truly caring friend. Unlike many attorneys who in some fashion hustle you to hire them, Mr. Asselta never said anything that even remotely sounded like a hustle. If you want an attorney who is smart, kind and passionate and who will really care about you and your case, then I, without any hesitation whatsoever, recommend that you immediately call Mr. Asselta. I know I am glad and grateful that I did!

HANDS DOWN - THE BEST EDUCATIONAL ATTORNEY AROUND!
Our son has a disciplinary action against him at a college in Florida. We reached out and spoke to MANY different attorneys but Mr. Asselta was the first and ONLY attorney I have ever dealt with in ANY area of expertise that wasn't just interested in charging me for the sake of charging me. And unlike every other attorney we spoke to on this matter, he was the only one not giving us false hope OR trying to scare us into hiring him. His singular objective was my son's well-being and future and giving us pragmatic, reasonable, objective advice - not making false promises or having us waste unnecessary time and money. He actually spent an incredible amount of his own personal time on a "weekend" reviewing documents, writing up notes and speaking with my wife and I in order to quickly assess the situation and give us his opinion. All this work just to make us feel better about whether we should even hire an attorney. We were panicked parents. After speaking with Mr. Asselta, we felt so much better. We CANNOT thank this man enough. Hire Mr. Asselta or his firm and you are in fantastic hands.

Great Attorney
I hired him to represent me in a state investigation after my principal created 2 bogus investigations on me. This was done to me because I was a whistle blower. I could no longer trust UTD since it seemed they were all friends. The state threw out both cases thanks to Richard and his brilliant retort. I highly recommend.

Do you need a teacher lawyer?...Richard Asselta is the one!
Richard has been clear since day one, no surprise. He took care of my case very professionally. He took the time to explain to me by phone and by meeting every details. I highly recommend him if you need an educational lawyer.

Richard is first class. Helped me thru a jam.
I am a teacher and a high school football coach. I received a letter from Professional Practices regarding a incident that happened during the season. I hired Richard and he was upfront and told me exactly how the process worked. He took it personally as if I was his old friend. He kept me updated and got the whole thing thrown out. I would not hesitate to reccomend Richard as an Attorney to anyone. He is AWESOME!

I spoke with attorney over the phone regarding a University discipline case. He was extremely helpful and kind at a time of extreme stress. In the end we took his advice on how to proceed and went to defend ourselves against a very P-owerful institution on our own. He was spot on . I always wanted to write this review as it occurred years ago. I consulted 3 lawyers. His advice was the opposite of the others but I went with it and had complete resolution. Highly recommend this lawyer!

Richard is a great lawyer and even better person. He is knowledgeable of the law and goes the extra mile when researching an issue to stay abreast of the latest developments to make sure his clients are fully informed of any changes in their field. He has excellent writing skills and is also an experienced litigator. He is just as comfortable in front of a jury as he is in front of an appellate court. With Richard you get a lawyer who is truly a double threat.
