I take great exception to every unsubstantiated statement and/or unduly illogical comment made by Jeanne Metzger and “the unidentified, short blond woman” for my experience as a client of Richard Rinella completely contradicts every questionable allegation they make. In regards to his legal representation, I have had the utmost confidence, trust and respect in my attorney, Richard Rinella, from the onset of my divorce proceedings in the fall of 1992, throughout the legal procedure, up to and including the prove-up of my case in late July of 1993, and the completion of all settlement matters thereafter. Although having worked in the legal profession for many years, and therefore, familiar with general legal procedures, I still found Richard Rinella to be informative and appropriately supportive in every aspect of my divorce. He discussed with me all relevant details pertaining to the possibility of reconciliation with my now former spouse; financial, tax and property considerations; child custody issues and attorneys’ fees. Furthermore, I was always kept up-to-date on every matter involving my case and Richard Rinella could always be reached whenever I had questions and/or comments of my own. I was pleased with the dignified approach he took with regards to my case.
It seems absolutely incredible that Jeanne Metzger and “the unidentified, short blond” are willing to maliciously embarrass and slander Richard Rinella, and at the same time, sacrificing their own obvious lack of self-esteem in what appears to be merely a chance to jump on the gravy train of high hopes of financial reward. It’s just a shame that with all the personal and professional choices women have today (and certainly have had for at least the last decade) there are those women who still argue that they don’t have these same choices regarding their actions. If any of Ms. Metzger’s and/or “the unidentified, short blond woman’s” allegations are true, then as adult women, they should personally accept any emotional consequence(s) that might develop from such chosen actions, just as any individual (man or woman) would be expected to do likewise.
